Rich care with natural protective effect: Organic shea butter

Shea Butter – Gold for Your Skin

It comes from the fruits of the shea tree – and has been the beauty secret of African women for generations. Shea butter is one of the richest, most nutrient-dense substances nature provides for skin care. In our Tirol Soaps, it guarantees intensive care and a soft skin feeling after washing.

What makes shea butter so special?

Shea butter contains a unique combination of fatty acids, vitamins, and bioactive substances that together provide exceptional skin care:

• Oleic acid and stearic acid – penetrate deep into the skin and provide intensive moisture
• Vitamin A – promotes cell renewal, counteracts wrinkles
• Vitamin E – antioxidant, protects against free radicals
• Vitamin F – strengthens the skin barrier
• Triterpenes – anti-inflammatory and wound-healing
• Cinnamic Acid – natural UV protection

The effect of shea butter in soap:

• ✔ Intensely moisturizing – even for very dry skin
• ✔ Anti-inflammatory – soothes irritated and itchy skin
• ✔ Regenerating – supports the healing of the skin barrier
• ✔ Antioxidant – protects against premature skin aging
• ✔ Gentle and well-tolerated – also for sensitive and baby skin
• ✔ Emollient – skin feels soft after washing

Shea butter for dry skin – a game-changer

Who knows the feeling: you wash your hands, and shortly afterwards your skin feels unpleasantly tight. With normal soaps, this is often the case – they cleanse but also dry out the skin. Our soaps with shea butter are different: the nourishing ingredients of the butter partially remain on the skin after washing and provide moisture that you can feel.

Which skin types is shea butter suitable for?

Shea butter is particularly recommended for:

• dry, very dry, or chapped skin
• sensitive or irritation-prone skin
• mature skin that needs intensive care
• hands exposed to work or cold
• baby skin and children's skin
