Description: Shea Nut Carrier Oil is a natural extracted fromt  Shea Butter .This achieved by making the dreid Shea nuts undergo expeller pressing.This oil can be separated (fractionated) through gentle heating. Unlike Shea Butter, which has a high proportion of the saturated Stearic Acid that renders it a waxy solid at room temperature, Shea Nut Carrier Oil contains higher amounts of unsaturated Oleic and Linoleic acids. This makes the oil relatively more fluid-like in its consistency, which makes it easier to use by formulators.  Shea Nut Carrier Oil is also easily absorbed by the skin, leaving it looking radiant without being greasy. It retains most of the skin-enriching benefits of raw, unrefined Shea Butter.t.
