Refined Shea Butter is a creamy, versatile plant butter extracted from the nuts of the Butyrospermum parkii tree. Through gentle refining, it becomes smooth, white, and virtually scent-free, making it perfect for cosmetic formulations where a neutral base is preferred. Rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and emollients, refined shea butter melts into the skin to deeply hydrate, soften, and protect — ideal for everyday moisturising, soothing dryness, or creating luxurious handmade body products.
