What is Organic Shea Butter?

Additionally, it does not contain GMOs, parabens, preservatives or formaldehyde.

Production of Organic Shea Butter

The production of Organic Shea Butter begins with the collection of the seeds of the shea tree. Once collected, the seeds are subjected to a solar drying process. Subsequently, they are crushed to extract their oil. This oil is refined by heating at a controlled temperature, resulting in a butter with a soft consistency and a color that varies from whitish to ivory.
