Shea butter, also known as "karite" or "life," is derived from the seeds of shea trees. Each year, a tree produces 15-20 kg of fruit, which allows for the production of just 1.5 kg of pure karite oil. It contains fatty substances, vitamins A, E and F, and natural filters that protect against UVB radiation. It has soothing, good lubricating, and smoothing properties. It effectively protects against the harmful effects of external factors. Enriched with rose oil.

Shea butter can be used in its pure form, mixed with other vegetable oils and essential oils, or added to ready-made cosmetic products such as creams, masks, shampoos, and balms. Before use, place the shea butter in a water bath at a temperature of 40–50 °C and heat until it becomes liquid.
Massage: Apply a few drops of warmed shea butter to your fingertips and gently massage into the skin using light, circular motions.
Massage for dry hand skin: Take 1 teaspoon each of shea butter, calendula oil, and walnut oil. Heat the mixture in a water bath to 37–38 °C and mix thoroughly. Using massaging motions, rub the mixture into the skin of your hands and fingers. Remove any excess with a tissue.
Nourishing and toning mask for dry skin: Combine equal parts of egg yolk and lemon zest powder, mix well, and let sit in a closed container for 15 minutes. Then add 1 teaspoon each of shea butter and walnut oil, and mix thoroughly. Apply the mixture to your skin in a thick layer and leave it until it dries. Remove the mask and apply a cold compress.
Mask for acne: Thoroughly mix 100 ml of shea butter, 100 g of honey, 1 g of salicylic acid, and 1 tablespoon of walnut oil. Apply the mixture to clean skin and leave it on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Perform this procedure before bedtime. Store the mixture in the refrigerator.
