Shea butter owes its nourishing and regenerative properties to its uniquely rich composition of bioactive substances. Its high content of vitamin A and E as well as fatty acids and their derivatives provide the skin with essential nourishing ingredients thus allowing it to eliminate metabolic by-products more effectively. Thanks to this unique ability to stimulate skin metabolism, shea butter smooths out wrinkles and delays the effects of ageing. It also has a lasting moisturising effect and improves skin texture, whilst alleviating dry skin and skin irritation. The high degree of affinity between the butter's ingredients and the lipid layers of the epidermis ensures protection against harmful environmental factors such as wind, low temperatures, and sunburn (due to a strong UV-absorbing function). Shea butter therefore provides the skin with everything it needs to maintain its natural smoothness, firmness, and radiant, healthy glow.
