So, what is shea fat?
Shea fat, also known as shea butter, is a versatile and nutrient-rich ingredient derived from the nuts of the African shea tree. With a creamy texture and subtle nutty aroma, shea fat is a popular ingredient in skin and hair care products due to its moisturizing and soothing properties. In cooking, shea fat can be used as a dairy-free substitute for butter or as a flavorful addition to dishes such as stews and curries. Rich in vitamins A and E, as well as essential fatty acids, shea fat is a nourishing ingredient that can help improve skin elasticity, reduce inflammation, and support overall health.
