Organic Shea Butter, 100 ml, Dragon Superfoods

Shea butter has a characteristic rich nutty aroma and a pale yellow color. At low temperatures, it is solid, but it melts easily in the hands with a few movements. The butter is extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree, also known as the butter tree. Locals consider the tree sacred, and the butter from its nuts has been used for decades to protect the skin from the sun, wind, and dry climate. The tree itself can live up to 200 years, beginning to bloom only after its 20th year. Local tradition dictates that its fruits are harvested only by women, after which the butter is extracted from the nut.

Today, shea butter is globally renowned and widespread due to its rich composition of valuable fatty acids, vitamins (A, D, E), and trace elements. It deeply nourishes, protects, and aids in the regeneration and restoration of skin and hair structure. Recommended for mature skin and/or dry and damaged skin and hair, organic shea butter helps to remove fine wrinkles, heal small wounds, and repair skin imperfections. Interestingly, it has also been used as a remedy to soothe insect bites.

Its applications are countless, starting with the most common one - skin nourishing cream. Melting a small amount in your palms, you can directly use it as a body butter or dissolve it in coconut oil in a double boiler to create a softer mixture to store in a jar for convenient use. Shea butter is suitable for softening rough skin or restoring chapped lips. It can be used for massage or soothing the skin after prolonged sun exposure. In combination with baking soda and a few drops of essential oil, shea butter can also serve as an anti-odor cream for sweating. Its use in hair masks helps protect hair from harmful influences, adding shine and strength.
