Science & Benefits

A complex fat extracted from the nut of the African Shea tree. It contains a high percentage of unsaponifiables (triterpenes) which provide potent anti-inflammatory effects. While pure shea is non-comedogenic, its richness in Stearic and Oleic acids means it should be used cautiously in high concentrations for those with highly active sebum-driven acne.
