Butyrospermum Parkii Oil, known as shea oil, is a valuable ingredient in cosmetics due to its emollient, moisturizing and regenerative properties. It is obtained from the fractionation of shea butter and refined for use in cosmetic products. This liquid oil, completely transparent at 20°C, is quickly absorbed into the skin and acts as a re-fatting agent, as well as having good water retention properties. It is an excellent ointment base and is used in baby care, skin care, massage creams and makeup products.

Shea oil also acts as a moisturizing, emollient, conditioning, and regenerating/revitalizing agent. Helps to soften the skin, increases the thickness of the epidermis and reduces the effect of environmental stress that can cause premature aging. This oil is optimally processed to maintain a high level of functional unsaponifiables (6-8%). It is suitable for cold processed emulsions and can be combined with shea butter ethyl esters to create a wide range of sensory properties. It is used in body oils, cleansing oils, facial oils, baby oils, hair oils, shampoos, and conditioners.

What is liquid Shea Oil?

Liquid Shea Oil is a valuable ingredient used in natural cosmetics, obtained from the fractionation and refining of shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii). This oil is characterized by its high degree of unsaponifiable, which gives it specific properties and benefits for the skin and hair. It is a non-toxic and non-irritating material derived from fully renewable natural resources. In addition, it is quickly absorbed by the skin and acts as a re-fatting agent, offering excellent water retention properties.

Detail on the production of liquid Shea Oil for cosmetic use

Liquid Shea Oil is obtained through a fractionation and refining process of shea butter. Shea butter is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, which grows mainly in West Africa. These nuts are collected, dried and crushed to obtain a paste that is then subjected to a pressing process to extract the butter. Subsequently, the shea butter undergoes a fractionation process, where the liquid components are separated from the solids. The obtained oil is then refined for use in cosmetic applications. The end result is the liquid Shea Oil we know and love.

Properties of liquid Shea Oil for skin and hair

Liquid Shea Oil possesses numerous beneficial properties when used topically on the skin and hair. Next, we will detail some of the key properties:

- Deep hydration: Thanks to its water retention capacity, liquid Shea Oil acts as a powerful moisturizer for skin and hair. Quickly penetrates the epidermis, providing deep and long-lasting hydration.
- Intense nutrition: Rich in essential fatty acids, liquid Shea Oil deeply nourishes the skin and hair, helping to maintain its elasticity and natural softness.
- Anti-inflammatory properties: Liquid Shea Oil contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it an ally to calm irritated skin, relieve redness and reduce inflammation.
- Protection against free radicals: Thanks to its natural antioxidant content, liquid Shea Oil helps protect skin and hair from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can accelerate premature aging.
- Cell regeneration: Liquid Shea Oil stimulates skin cell regeneration, favoring cell renewal and promoting a younger and healthier appearance.
- Softness and shine: Applied to the hair, liquid Shea Oil provides softness, shine and vitality, as well as helping to reduce frizz and split ends.
- Compatibility with different skin and hair types: Liquid Shea Oil is suitable for all skin and hair types, including sensitive, dry, mature, oily or acne-prone skin. Its properties adapt to the needs of each type of skin and hair, providing specific benefits in each case.

Benefits of liquid Shea Oil for different skin types

Here is a list of the different skin types and how they can benefit from using liquid Shea Oil:

- Dry skin: Liquid Shea Oil is an intensive moisturizer that restores moisture to dry skin, providing deep and long-lasting hydration. In addition, its emollient action softens rough skin and prevents flaking.
- Sensitive skin: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, liquid Shea Butter Oil helps soothe sensitive skin, reducing irritation, redness and itching sensations.
- Mature skin: Liquid Shea Oil stimulates cell regeneration and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improving skin elasticity and providing a firmer and younger appearance.
- Oily or acne-prone skin: Although it may seem contradictory, liquid Shea Oil is also beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. Its light and non-comedogenic texture helps balance sebum production, avoiding excess oil and reducing pore clogging.

Benefits of Liquid Shea Oil for different types of hair

Liquid Shea Oil also offers a wide range of benefits for different hair types. Here is a list of some of them:

- Dry and damaged hair: Liquid Shea Oil deeply nourishes dry and damaged hair, restoring its vitality, softness and natural shine. Helps repair split ends and improve the overall appearance of hair.
- Curly and frizzy hair: For those with curly or frizzy hair, liquid Shea Oil is a perfect ally. Helps define curls, reduce frizz and provide long-lasting hydration, leaving hair soft, manageable and healthy-looking.
- Fine hair without volume: Liquid Shea Oil provides volume and body to fine and lifeless hair, without weighing it down. Helps strengthen hair from the roots, providing a more voluminous and thicker appearance.

Difference Between Shea Oil and Shea Butter

It is common for the question to arise about the difference between Shea Oil and Shea Butter. Although both products come from the same origin, they have different characteristics and uses in natural cosmetics. Next, we will explain the main differences between Shea Oil and Shea Butter:

- Texture and consistency:
   The main difference lies in their texture and consistency. Shea Butter is solid at room temperature and melts on contact with the skin, offering a rich and creamy texture. On the other hand, Shea Oil is liquid at room temperature, which makes it easier to handle and use in different cosmetic formulations.
- Application and absorption:
   Due to its solid texture, Shea Butter requires slight heating before it can be applied and distributed on the skin or hair. On the other hand, the liquid Shea Oil is quickly absorbed and spreads easily, providing a soft and light application.
- Concentration and properties:
   Shea Butter has a higher concentration of beneficial compounds, such as vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants. This makes it a powerful moisturizing and nourishing agent for skin and hair. Liquid Shea Oil, although it has similar properties, has a slightly lower concentration of these compounds due to the fractionation and refining process to which it is subjected.
- Uses and applications:
   Shea Butter is widely used as an ingredient in lip balms, moisturizers, body lotions, and hair care products. Its rich and creamy texture makes it ideal for providing intense hydration and deep nutrition. On the other hand, liquid Shea Oil is more versatile and is commonly used in body oils, cleansing oils, facial oils, hair oils, shampoos, and conditioners. Its light texture and fast absorption capacity make it an ideal option for products that require a lighter application.

Remember that while Shea Butter is primarily used to provide more intense hydration and nutrition, Liquid Shea Oil offers a lighter and more versatile application. Both products have significant benefits for skin and hair, and the choice between them will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your personal care routine. At La Despensa del Jabón, we offer you both liquid Shea Oil and Shea Butter, so you can choose the product that best suits your needs.

Conclusion:

Liquid Shea Oil is a highly beneficial and versatile ingredient in natural cosmetics. Its moisturizing, nourishing, anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties make it an ideal ally for skin and hair care. Also, its compatibility with different skin and hair types makes it suitable for everyone. At La Despensa del Jabón, we invite you to discover all the benefits that liquid Shea Oil can offer in your personal care products.
