Yellow Shea Butter with Borututu – HBV Oils and Butters

Traditional African butter for nourishing, protective and revitalizing care

Resulting from ancestral know-how, yellow shea butter with Borututu is a 100% natural product, obtained by incorporating the dried root of Borututu ( Cochlospermum angolense ) into raw shea ( Vitellaria paradoxa ). This mixture gives the butter an intense yellow color and a slightly smoky woody fragrance. It is renowned for its protective, nourishing and restorative qualities for damaged or exposed skin.

Borututu is traditionally used in Africa in body and hair care to revitalize the skin, protect against external aggressions and maintain skin elasticity. This plant-based synergy, rich in natural active ingredients, is particularly suitable for dry, sensitive or climatically exposed skin.
