Sheabutter kaufen

Sheabutter kaufst du am besten im Online-Handel

Sheabutter ist nicht gleich Sheabutter. Wie du mittlerweile weißt, gibt es einen Unterschied zwischen raffinierten und unraffinierten Produkten.

Wenn du die Wahl hast, solltest du immer die unraffinierte und damit natürlichere Sheabutter kaufen.

Leider gibt es in der Drogerie oft nur die raffinierten Produkte, diese sind sogar teilweise noch mit weiteren Inhaltsstoffen zugesetzt.

Wenn du im Geschäft nicht fündig wirst, solltest du im Online-Handel nachschauen.

Die Karitébäume wachsen nur in bestimmten Regionen Afrikas, wo sie handgeerntet und verarbeitet werden. Wenn du eine 500 ml Packung für 5 Euro findest, dann kann da etwas nicht stimmen.

Um jeden Arbeiter wirklich fair zu entlohnen, sollten die Produkte teurer sein als das. Achte deshalb darauf, dass die Sheabutter mit Siegeln versehen ist.

Du kannst dich zum Beispiel an dem NATURE-Zertifikat oder einem Fairtrade-Siegel orientieren.

Other Ingredients

Jojoba Oil is packed with nourishing properties that moisturize the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Jojoba Oil is well known for having a composition that closely resembles sebum, the naturally created substance in human skin which helps to keep it moisturized. For this reason it is easily accepted and safe for all skin types.

Apricot Oil is a light, delicate carrier oil that moisturizes dry, sensitive skin. It is packed with vitamins and antioxidants that help diminish fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes. It is also well known for restoring natural skin radiance and decreasing puffiness and dark circles.

Almond Oil is a nutrient rich carrier oil. It deeply moisturizes and protects the skin, keeping it hydrated and supple. The vitamins and fatty acids in this oil promote collagen production and help restore natural skin radiance. This oil is non-comedogenic so does not clog pores and is particularly effective in diminishing scars, blemishes and soothing irritation.
