Virgin Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii) - HBV Butters

Raw Shea Butter – HBV Oils and Butters

100% raw, unrefined shea butter for nourishing and restorative care

Raw shea butter HBV is a pure plant treasure, obtained by pressing the nuts of Vitellaria paradoxa . Unrefined, undeodorized and unbleached, it retains all of its natural active ingredients. Rich in unsaponifiables, essential fatty acids and vitamins (A, D, E, F), it is prized for its exceptional nourishing, protective and regenerative properties.

This multifunctional plant-based butter can be used in both body care and hair care, in both homemade and professional formulas. It melts upon contact with the skin and leaves a soft, protective film without excessive greasy residue. Ideal for dry skin, damaged areas, and frizzy or devitalized hair.

Shea butter is extracted from the shea nut and has a buttery yellow color with a rich, creamy aroma. Shea butter is praised for its healing, protective, and moisturizing properties.
