Shea Nut Oil...:::
It's already the last month of the Year! Many thanks to you all for being with us through out this year and the years before, here's to even more greatness in the next years to come! Remember our post on Shea Butter ? We are ending the year with a little more about the wonderful karite-tree product - Shea Nut Oil. Shea Oil is an oil derived from Shea Butter - basically a fractionated version of Shea Butter, like a distilled version of shea butter. The butter is simply heated and the oil, which melts at a lower temperature is extracted, leaving behind the waxy butter. Shea Oil is much lighter than Shea Butter, containing less stearic acid. It contains the same properties as the butter but it remains liquid at room temperature and is much lighter in consistency. It has a much deeper skin-penetration quality than Shea Butter and doesn't have the strong smokey smell that Shea is known for. Find Shea Nut Oil in our moisturizing hand lotion, conveniently packaged so you
