Sourced from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), Yellow Shea Butter is typically unrefined or minimally processed, retaining its natural color, aroma, and beneficial components. It is commonly incorporated into body butters, creams, lotions, balms, lip care products, haircare formulations, and massage products. Its emollient nature makes it especially suitable for dry, rough, or compromised skin.
