What is Shea butter?
   Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nuts of the African Shea (Villalla Paradox). When born, it is usually yellow, unrefined, refined and super refined shea butter is ivory or white. Shea butter is a triglyceride (fat) derived mainly from stearic acid and oleic acid. It is widely used in cosmetics as a humectant, salve or lotion. Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in some African countries.  
The composition and nature of Shea butter:
   Shea butter extract is a complex fat that contains the following fatty acids in addition to many unsaponifiable components (substances that can not be completely converted to soap by alkali treatment): oleic acid (****0%), stearic acid %), Linoleic acid (***1%), palmitic acid (**9%), linolenic acid (<1%) and arachidic acid (<1%).
   Shea butter melts at body temperature. People who support skin care believe that it is quickly absorbed into the skin and has good water binding properties  
Application of Shea butter:
(1)Shea butter is mainly used in the cosmetic industry for skin and hair-related products (lip gloss, skin moisturizers and lotions, dry hair and fragile hair).
 
(2)It is also used by soap manufacturers, usually in small amounts (**7% oil in the formulation) because it contains a large amount of unsaponifiable matter, while higher amounts produce softer, cleaner detergents. Some handmade soap makers use shea butter at *5% - the highest adjustment for the       European Union is about *8%, although this is rare in commercially produced soaps. This is a good skin dry emollient. There is no evidence that this is a cure, but it relieves the pain associated with itching.
 
(3)In some African countries, shea butter is used as an ingredient in edible oils, waterproofing waxes, beauty salons, candle making and medicinal ointments. Traditional African percussion maker use it to increase the durability of wood (such as carved African drum shells), dry hoists and leather tuning tapes.
