Ukrainian beauty brand Cocos presents natural cold-pressed shea (karite) butter. This is an effective product that can be used to take care of all skin types (including sensitive, dehydrated, irritation- and flaking-prone skin), as well as for hair care.
Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. It is called “butter” rather than “oil” because it is solid at room temperature but begins to melt on contact with the skin, absorbing with ease. Extraction by cold pressing allows to preserve all the useful substances contained in shea nuts, such as fatty acids, tocopherols, vitamins, minerals, etc.
Shea butter is valued in cosmetology as an excellent emollient, i.e. a substance that helps the skin to retain moisture and protects it from the harmful effects of the environment. When used as a skincare product, shea butter restores the natural hydro-lipid balance of the skin, improves complexion, provides UV protection and stimulates collagen synthesis, preventing the signs of premature skin ageing (fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, thin and dull skin).
Shea butter is suitable for all skin types because every skin type needs proper hydration. It prevents irritation and flaking, softens the skin, stimulates its regeneration, speeds up the healing of minor skin injuries (including cracked lips and heels). Shea butter can be used to treat diaper rash, prevent acne scars and stretch marks, and relieve razor burn and itching caused by insect bites and stings.
Your hair will benefit from shea butter, too. If you apply the product to your scalp and hair roots, it will prevent dryness, itching, flaking, irritation and dandruff, nourish hair follicles, and boost microcirculation in the scalp, reducing hair loss and stimulating hair growth. You can also apply shea butter along the entire length of your hair to improve hair structure, prevent brittle hair and split ends. If used regularly, karite butter will make your hair strong and smooth, restore its natural elasticity and healthy shine.
Directions. The oil can be applied as is, mixed with other carrier oils, used to dilute essential oils, added to store-bought cosmetic products. Melt before use.
Ingredients. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.
