Shea Nut Oil (Vitellaria paradoxa) - Fractionated Organic

Shea nut oil contains a notable amount of triterpenes such as lupeol, which are not as prevalent in many other carrier oils. These compounds contribute to the oil’s anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and skin-healing properties.

The presence of triterpenes in high concentrations gives shea nut oil a unique set of benefits, including promoting collagen production, reducing inflammation, and aiding in skin repair.

This specific combination of triterpenes and fatty acids, along with the unsaponifiables, creates a distinct profile that differentiates shea nut oil from other carrier oils.
