Stabilizing Agents

Shea trees grow naturally in the sub-sahelian vegetation belt in Africa. Shea nuts are sometimes called women’s gold, as their collection is almost the only reliable source of income for local women. This natural emollient with its high unsaponifiable matter content brings many advantages to cosmetic products for skin and hair care, due to its valuable composition of fatty acids, natural tocopherols, allantoin, and beta-carotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A (retinol).
