Shea butter is fat that’s extracted from the nuts of the shea tree that is native to Africa. The shea tree grows in the wild dry plains of the savannah belt; in West Africa from Senegal in the west to Sudan in the east and onto the foothills of the Ethiopian highlands.
The English word “shea” comes from s’í, the tree’s name in Bambara.
It is ivory in color when raw. Because of its properties, shea butter is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer or lotion. Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in African countries.
Shea butter can be mixed with other oils as a substitute for cocoa butter, even with a different taste.
Shea butter extract is a complex fat and melts at body temperature. Because of the low melting point, it is used for skincare because it is rapidly absorbed by the skin, and acts as a “refatting” agent. The shea butter has good water-binding properties.
Shea butter is mainly used for skin and hair-related products; lip gloss, lip stick, skin moisturizer creams and emulsions, and hair conditioners.
In some African countries shea butter is their cooking oil, waterproofing wax, for hairdressing, and as an ingredient in medicinal ointments.
