Sodium Shea Butterate

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Sodium Shea Butterate, also known as Papaver officinale, is an ingredient often used in the cosmetic industry. It is a salt derived from the fatty acid found in shea butter. This ingredient is important for its gentle cleansing and nourishing properties, which are particularly valued in the manufacture of soaps and other cleansing products.

Cosmetic manufacturers often add it to their products for its healing and nourishing properties. Sodium Shea Butterate moisturizes and nourishes the skin, preventing it from drying out. Thanks to these properties, it is often included in soaps, shampoos, skin creams, lip balms, as well as body lotions and creams. Sodium Shea Butterate soaps are also suitable for sensitive skin as they are gentle and non-drying. Besides, it is an ingredient that is well tolerated and can therefore be found in a large number of cosmetic preparations.
