Butyrospermum Parkii {Shea Butter}
Shea Butter
supplied by The Chemistry Store
is obtained from the seed of the Karite Tree (Butyrospermum
Parkii) common to West Africa. From these seeds a soft, pliant "butter"
is expeller pressed without the use of solvents, making it suitable for
use in soaps, cosmetics, toiletries and OTC Pharmaceuticals. The Ultra
Refined™ grade of Shea Butter is deodorized and filtered using natural
clays to render a "butter" which is nearly white and odorless, better
suited for use in high end cosmetics and toiletries. Shea Butter is well
known to assist cutaneous dryness (i.e. dermatitis and dermatoses,
eczema, solar erythema and burns). Shea
Butter melts at skin temperatures, making it ideal for lip and body
balms as well as bar soaps, lotions and skin creams.
Suggested Use Levels:
Lotions & Creams: 3-5% | Balms: 5-100% | Bar Soaps: 3-6% | Hair
