The power of plants

The shea tree grows on the savannahs of Africa where it is considered sacred. By tradition, women are the sole “guardians” of this magic tree which must not be cut down or damaged and it is they who gather the shea nuts which are transformed into shea butter and shea oil.

Skincare benefits of Shea unsaponifiable (organic plant)

In cosmetics, the precious part of shea butter known as shea unsaponifiables (organic plant), is used to soothe and protect the skin.
