Shea Butter in Handmade Soap

A rich and conditioning soap base for intensive care. Shea butter provides a dense lather and a moisturising feel that stays with you.

Origin

Sourced from West Africa where it is traditionally extracted from the nuts of the shea tree using time-honoured methods.

Traditional Use

Shea butter has been used in personal care for generations. In soap, it contributes to a rich feel that is highly valued for mature or very dry skin.

What it feels like

Rich, dense lather that provides a conditioning sensation. It is the most nourishing of our three bases and leaves skin feeling very soft.

Common questions

Will shea butter soap clog my pores?

No, shea butter is non-comedogenic, meaning it provides a rich, conditioning feel without clogging pores.

Is it better than goat milk for dry skin?

Shea butter is generally richer and more conditioning than goat milk. It is the right choice if your skin feels particularly dry or tight after washing.

Does it have a strong scent?

Raw shea butter has a mild, nutty aroma. In our soaps, the scent is very gentle and primarily influenced by the other botanicals in the bar.
