A rich, oil-soluble butter, organic shea is arguably the most important ingredient in all nourishing, indulgent skin care products. Shea butter is much loved for its healing properties and intense moisturisation. It’s important to use the right type of shea butter, and the organic, unrefined type is by far the most popular. Extracted from the shea nut, Freshskin Beauty’s organic shea boasts a rich, creamy texture and aroma, and is naturally high in cinnamon acid. Shea butter creates a breathable, water-resistant film on the skin offering some protection from UV rays, and therefore is a popular ingredient in homemade sun creams.
