Shea nut Carrier Oil

Description

Shea nut Carrier Oil is obtained from the nuts of the Karite tree and produced by lightly heating shea nut butter to separate the fractionated and non-fractionated makeup of the material. The fractionated material is then fully refined, resulting in a transparent oil with a pale yellow appearance.
