So, what is huile de karité?

Huile de karité, also known as shea butter oil, is a versatile and luxurious ingredient that is extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree. This rich and nourishing oil has a high concentration of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, which make it an excellent natural moisturizer for both skin and hair. Its high melting point and creamy texture make it a popular ingredient in cosmetics, soaps, and hair care products. This oil is also prized for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, making it a popular choice for treating skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dryness.
