The gold of Africa for your skin
There are natural treasures whose value has been passed down through generations. Shea butter, also known as karité butter, is one such treasure. Extracted from the nuts of the African karité tree, it has been prized for centuries by women in Africa as "women's gold" for its intensely nourishing, protective, and healing properties. At Flam Skin, we love organic shea butter as a fundamental building block for rich care that envelops dry, stressed skin in pure softness and helps it regain balance and well-being.
What makes organic shea butter so special?
Shea butter is a solid vegetable fat that melts gently upon contact with the skin. Its magic lies in its complex composition: It is rich in fatty acids such as oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid, which resemble the lipids of our skin barrier. Added to this are valuable unsaponifiable components, including vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant), beta-carotene (provitamin A), allantoin (healing and soothing), and phytosterols. The use of organic shea butter , as used by Flam Skin, ensures that these valuable ingredients are preserved in their purest form, uncontaminated by pesticides or chemical processing.
The beneficial properties of organic shea butter in detail
- Intensive nourishment and moisture retention: Shea butter forms a gentle protective film on the skin that effectively reduces moisture loss (TEWL) and provides the skin with long-lasting lipids. Ideal for dry, very dry, and chapped skin.
- Strengthening and regenerating the skin barrier: The fatty acids contained support the development and repair of the skin's natural protective barrier, making it more resilient and supple.
- Soothing effect: Thanks to ingredients like allantoin and phytosterols, shea butter has a soothing effect on irritated, reddened, or itchy skin. It is also often beneficial for neurodermatitis or eczema.
- Smoothing and softening: It makes rough, flaky skin soft and elastic again.
- Protection from environmental influences: The light protective film can help protect the skin from cold, wind or dry heating air.
- Supports skin elasticity: Through intensive care, it can help maintain skin elasticity and, for example, prevent the formation of stretch marks.
Shea butter in the Flam Skin philosophy of security
