Shea Butter

Photo Shea Butter :: fragrance ingredients

Derived from the nuts of the Shea tree, Vitellaria paradoxa, primarily found in West Africa, Shea Butter is celebrated for its rich, nutty, and slightly woody aroma in perfumery. Traditionally valued for skincare, its warm and comforting scent enhances perfumes by providing a creamy, rich base note that improves depth and longevity. Used in oriental and woody fragrance families, Shea Butter adds a velvety warmth, complementing spicy and sweet notes, and conveying a luxurious, nourishing essence.

Natural or Synthetic?
Shea Butter is extracted through cold pressing the nuts, a process that preserves its natural oils and aromatic qualities, making it effective for use in fragrances without the need for synthetic enhancement.
