Shea butter

Shea butter is one of the most beneficial botanical butters found in nature. This butter, also called the African gold, is obtained from the fruit of the shea tree (lat. – Vitellaria paradoxa). African women have used this valuable butter in their skincare routines already since the times of Cleopatra and here it is still a valuable cosmetic for body moisturising, skin and hair protection from the burning sun and hot, dry winds of the African deserts and savannahs.
Shea butter is a wonderful moisturiser and a skin-softening agent that regenerates the skin and prevents it from premature aging. It deeply penetrates into the skin providing a long-lasting nourishment and protection, leaving you with a velvety-feeling skin.
Due to the highly valuable properties, we’ve generously added this butter to a number of our skincare and body treatment products, as well as lip and hair care cosmetics. STENDERS uses only pure, 100% natural shea butter which has travelled from an African village to one of the leading Swedish laboratories, finally arriving at the hands of STENDERS specialists. Using a special technology, we have carefully treated the butter to make it easy to use both in its pure form and as a valuable ingredient in our cosmetics.
