Apply gently as needed, focusing on dry or rough areas; reapply as necessary. The product is naturally solid, and its color and texture may change with temperature. It will melt above body temperature and solidify when cooled. This is normal and does not affect product quality. Temperature changes may cause fat crystals, affecting color and texture, making it appear grainy or uneven. To soften solid shea butter, place it in hot water (100° or warmer) for 30 minutes or microwave until soft.

Please consult the product packaging for accurate instructions on how to use the product.

The Primary Benefit Is: Skin Hydration Support

Skin hydration is a key factor in maintaining a healthy barrier and soft, comfortable skin. Shea butter provides a rich, emollient layer that helps lock in moisture and support the skin’s natural condition. This product contains a single, pure ingredient derived from the karite tree, known for its moisturising properties.

This formulation relies on the natural fatty acids in shea butter to help support the skin barrier and overall softness. The product is hexane-free and produced to high-quality standards, emphasising purity and suitability for regular use on dry or rough areas.

What Does Skin Hydration Support Do?

Maintaining skin hydration helps support a resilient barrier, aiding in softness and comfort of the skin. Regular topical use of emollients can enhance skin moisturisation and barrier function, aligning with standard guidance for healthy skin maintenance.

Dr. Alhassan of the University of Lagos found that regular daily use of moisturising agents can improve skin hydration and barrier strength over time.
