🔬 Description
Shea Butter – Rich Natural Emollient for Deep Moisturization
Bio Shop™ Shea Butter is a nutrient-rich fat extracted from the nuts of the Shea tree. It melts at skin temperature and absorbs easily, forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture without clogging pores. Widely used in skin and hair care formulations, it is valued for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
