Ecopia Sheabutter for natural body care.

Shea butter is the fat extracted from the nut of Africa Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). We used the pur sheabutter produced by our communities in Gambella for our cosmetic formulations.  The saponifiable fraction of Shea butter is composed primarily of stearic and oleic acids with lesser amounts of palmitic, linoleic and arachidic acids while the unsaponifiable fraction of Shea butter is composed of bioactive substances that are responsible for Shea butter’s medicinal properties. Shea butter is a solid at room temperature and melts at body temperature. Therefore, you can our sheabutter for skin care as it has sun screening properties and acts as an emollient and skin moisturizer. Topical use of Shea butter has also demonstrated anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Ecopia has the following sheabutter.
