ULCO Raw West African Shea Butter, is KeBS Certified.
ULCO Raw West African Shea Butter is a natural shea butter with skin-healing properties from the Africa's western region specifically Ghana. Unlike East African shea butter which is often soft and buttery, raw, unrefined west African Shea Butter is hard and waxy. While it can be used in its raw state, it is also a great addition to add to other hair and body butter mixes. It has a higher concentration of vitamin A than the East African variety. Vitamin A helps in accelerating your skin’s ability to heal from scars, cuts and minor burns.
It’s harder than East African shea butter due to its higher melting point making it a little harder to spread over your skin or hair and therefore a great additional nourishment and stabilizer to other hair /body creams and mixes.
Lower concentration of oleic acid makes it a less superior moisturizer compared to the East African variety.
