Spring may be on the horizon, but our skin has to contend with cold weather for just a little bit longer. If you’re experiencing dryness, less-than-smooth texture, ashiness or itching, a little extra moisture can go a long way. Karité harnesses the hydrating power of raw, unrefined shea butter sourced from Ghana, and our products are like a tall glass of water (with extra benefits ) for dry skin.
The hands
Gloves do more than keep your hands warm… They also shield this delicate skin from the detrimental effects of cold, dry air. If a long winter may have left your hands feeling rough and looking lackluster, you’re not alone. Crème Mains Hand Cream offers a surge of comforting moisture courtesy of raw, unrefined shea butter; unrefined, organic coconut oil and sustainably-sourced palm oil—plus a bevy of antioxidant-rich botanical ingredients. This lightweight, non-greasy, fast-absorbing, hypoallergenic cream replenishes the skin’s barrier so moisture stays put, and helps your hands stand up to the elements.
The body
Despite being covered up all winter-long, every square inch of skin from the neck down is prone to dryness thanks to less moisture in the air around us. And those extra-hot showers you use to take the chill off can make matters worse by stripping the skin of its natural oils. Even more, scratchy fabrics like wool can “rough up” your skin and lead to even more flaking and dryness. The key for smooth, soft skin during colder months is simply replenishing lost moisture (ideally after showering or bathing while skin is still damp)—and our Crème Corps Hydrating Body Cream is up to the task. Featuring our highest concentration of raw, unrefined shea butter, this rich, whipped, hypoallergenic body cream will be especially appreciated by dry elbows, knees, legs and feet.
The lips
The lips lack oil glands, which means they are incapable of moisturizing themselves. When exposed to harsh winter weather conditions, the result is often dryness, flaking, cracking and overall discomfort. Our Baume à Lèvres Lip Balm is a vegan, all-natural, hypoallergic hydrating option—and you don’t even need to use your fingers to apply it. The soothing, smoothing formula can be used by the whole family since it only leaves a light sheen behind, and it serves as a great base layer for lipstick and gloss as well.
