Description:
Shea butter is a slightly yellowish or ivory colored natural fat extracted from the seed of
the African SHEA TREE by crushing and boiling.It is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer and salve. Shea nuts are primarily grown in West and Central Africa. Shea Nut products, the solid fat (butter or stearin) and the liquid oil (olein), are ideal for use as raw materials in cooking oil, margarine, cosmetics, soap, detergents and candles, but it has found its primary market niche as a substitute for cocoa butter in the chocolate and confectionery industry.
