SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Moisturizing Shampoo
Extracted from the nuts harvested from West Africa’s shea trees, shea butter is a widely beloved ingredient that can bring moisture back into thirsty curls. Packed with vitamins A and E plus good-for-you fatty acids, it can remedy dryness fast. That’s because it seals moisture in and keeps dry winter air out. The powerhouse ingredient is at the core of textured-hair brand SheaMoisture, which was founded in 1991 by Richelieu Dennis as a tribute to his grandmother, Sofi Tucker. “Tucker sold shea butter in Sierra Leone in 1912, and we honour her vision by continuing to formulate with shea butter handcrafted by women in West Africa,” says Taydra Mitchell-Jackson, the brand’s CMO. SheaMoisture’s recently reformulated Raw Shea Butter collection features even more of the ingredient than its original formula, boosting its already impressive hydrating properties and making it a top contender for use during the winter months, when hair — especially curly hair — needs a little more love.
