What does it do?
Our rich, luxurious body cream deeply moisturizes and absorbs quickly, leaving skin smooth, supple, and baby-soft. It's formulated with shea butter, glycerin, and organic coconut oil to hydrate and nourish, while sunflower seed oil, rooibos extract, and rosemary leaf extract provide antioxidant protection.

Normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive

Skincare concerns
Dryness, aging, fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity/firmness and dullness

1. For the best results, apply after showering or bathing while the skin is slightly damp.
2. Apply a small amount to the hands and begin by rubbing the cream onto your limbs and massaging over your entire body.
3. Use twice a day for optimal results.

It’s full of antioxidants thanks to the tocopherol and catechins.

It prevents signs of aging. Shea butter also contains lupeol, which inhibits the enzymes that degrade the skin's supportive proteins.

It reduces inflammation. The triterpene alcohols found in shea butter have anti-inflammatory properties. Shea butter has been shown to help with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, as well as arthritis.

It has antimicrobial properties. People in West Africa have used shea butter as a natural remedy to treat wounds and other ailments for centuries.

It has UV protection. Seriously! The cinnamic acid esters in shea butter have been shown to absorb a limited amount of UV rays. Unrefined shea butter has the equivalent of an SPF between 3 or 4.

It's incredibly hydrating and moisturizing without the greasiness that comes from other moisturizing ingredients.

Based on a 24-hour clinical study with participants ages 20-51:

• Karité moisturizer demonstrated superior hydration levels, with a 223.17% increase in skin hydration immediately after application and sustained skin hydration levels after 24 hours compared to baseline.
• In contrast, the comparison moisturizer showed a 193.29% increase in hydration levels immediately after application but decreased in skin hydration levels after 24 hours compared to baseline.
• These findings suggest that the Karité Moisturizer is effective at hydrating the skin and is able to retain hydration for 24 hours in comparison to other moisturizers.
  

Alongside the clinical study, Karité also conducted a survey on the participants. Immediately after application:

• 100% of the participants disagreed when asked if they experienced any burning, itching, or stinging sensation
• 91.75% of the participants agreed when asked if they felt moisturized
• 80% of the participants agreed when asked if they would use the Karité moisturizer again
• 66.70% of the participants agreed when asked if they noticed glowing skin
