Shea Butter Oil (Liquid)

$9.00

SKU: sheaOIL

PALM FREE
NEW

Liquid Shea Oil is rich in oleic acid (omega 9) and 5 -10% phytosterols which offer moisturising and soothing properties.  Liquid Shea offers excellent emollience and is a must in moisturisers and lotions, and is really useful in hair care products too. The inclusion of Shea Oil in your skin care helps to protect the skin from harsh weather conditions, both the heat and scorching sun of summer and the drying cold winter winds.  Shea Oil helps to maintain the cutaneous barrier and reduce TEWL (trans epidermal water loss).

Liquid Shea Oil spreads quickly with excellent absorption properties, leaving the skin soft and smooth with a pleasant after feel.  Due to its unique combination of triglycerides and unsaponifiable fractions it is an important moisturiser that helps to retain the elasticity of the skin.

There are no chemicals used to process our Shea Oil, and its processing enables you to make emulsions without any graininess (the crystallisation effect) that can occur with regular shea butter.  Shea Oil, like Fractionated Coconut Oil never becomes a solid, it remains a liquid emollient at room temperature.  Using heat, pressure and filtration (no solvents) the natural shea butter is processed producing this clear, liquid shea oil with all the benefits of Shea Butter, but lighter and less greasy when applied directedly to the skin.
