Shea Olein, also known as Shea Oil

Pure Shea Olein (Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Seed Oil), also known as shea oil, is an all natural, pure oil of Shea butter. Like shea butter from which it is derived, is extracted naturally from the fruit of the Shea Nut.

Our 100% pure Shea Oil, is grown and harvested only by responsible sustainable producers, and refined without the use of any harmful chemical solvents using a mechanical pressing method. After expressing the shea butter the shea oil is made by gently melting the shea butter to separate it via a method called fractionation resulting in a "fractionated" shea oil that is more liquid after being lightly refined.

Shea Olein oil is a top quality oil used in all kinds of products for skin care, hair care and other topical cosmetics, skin creams, lotions and make-up.It is easily absorbed into skin promoting skin elasticity; and does not leave an oily or greasy residue typical of many heavier and more processed oils. Shea Olein, also called shea Olein is also a natural emollient and often added in to products as a treatment for dry skin and hair. You will find Shea Olein in so many top products like kip care, hair and skin care formulations, baby care products. Shea Olein is very gentle and soothing to skin.  Another popular use is in massage oils since it give good slip and is so nourishing to skin.

Since Shea Olein contains a high level of vitamins A, E, F and oleic fatty acids, it is used to soothe skin and is reported to also help soothe irritated skin with the many benefits of the high fatty acids.

Shea butter is known to be especially beneficial to skin in many way due to the high fatty content and the type contained, and the shea butter oil is often seen as even more beneficial in skin care since it can absorb quicker in to the skin. This absorption is considered by many to also keep skin hydrated better adding more beneficial properties when the shea olein is used in products.

All natural expeller / mechanically extracted. 100 % Pure Shea Oil (Butyrospermum parkii (Shea) Seed Oil)

Our Shea Olein, when we buy it in the original containers, like many of our top butters, is food grade (many are also organic). We also have larger sizes available when unopened will maintain the food grade designation. Larger sizes are 25 Kg pails and 190 Kg drums.
