Nourishment & manageability
Not just a sweet treat? After picking the kernels from the fruit, we place them in a Hydraulic Press (cold press) to extract the butter. By keeping the extraction at a low temperature, we retain the beneficial acids of the butter like Vitamin C. This provides nourishment and manageability to hair.
