Unrefined Shea Butter Infused with Essential Oils

Essential Oils -- the name given to an assortment of therapeutic and aromatic natural medicines -- have powerful healing properties. But to work their magic, essential oils need an effective carrier.

The properties of shea butter make it the perfect carrier for essential oils. Unrefined shea butter, because of its deep moisturizing properties, is able to bathe all of your skin cells with the fragile therapeutics that are the essence of the essential oils.

The Therapeutic Properties of Our Essential Oils

The essential oils we have selected for Karite Gold emphasize regeneration and health. Because shea butter contains a high moisturizing fraction and an extraordinarily high healing fraction, all by itself it quickly makes dry rough skin soft and vital. But Karite Gold -- pure unrefined shea butter blended with various synergistic essential oils -- does even more. Many of the essential oils we use enhance the strong moisturizing and skin softening properties of shea butter. And some of the essential oils are particularly effective for treating one or more types of skin problem.
