Shea butter / karite butter - not rafiner

Shea butter, also referred to as Karite („life” in French) butter, can be obtained only in tropical Africa. It is made of nuts of shea tree which bears fruit as late as after around 15 years. Shea butter contains from 7-12% of unsaponifiable matter which makes it absorb quickly into the skin. Applied to the surface of the skin, shea butter lets it breathe and does not clog pores. Its invaluable healing properties are used by inhabitants of the region from which it comes for any problems with the skin.
