If there’s one ingredient that defines Velvet Lather, it’s shea butter. Creamy, rich, and packed with skin-loving nutrients, shea butter is at the heart of every bar of soap we create.

But what makes this natural ingredient such a powerhouse for your skin? Let’s dive into why shea butter isn’t just an option—it’s a must-have in your self-care routine.

The Skin Superfood

Shea butter is a natural fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, native to Africa. Known for centuries as “skin food,” it’s rich in vitamins A, E, and F, and packed with fatty acids that deeply nourish and moisturize.

When blended into our soaps, it transforms every bar into a hydrating, conditioning treat for your skin.

Benefits of Shea Butter

Here’s what makes shea butter a Velvet Lather essential:

• Deep Moisture: Locks in hydration without leaving a greasy residue.
• Soothing Power: Calms irritation and inflammation, perfect for sensitive or dry skin.
• Anti-Aging Properties: Packed with antioxidants that help protect your skin from damage.
• Gentle Care: Non-comedogenic and safe for most skin types, even sensitive ones.

The Velvet Lather Promise

Every soap in our collection—whether it’s the floral Girl Power, earthy Herb Garden, or rich Butterscotch Bourbon—starts with a nourishing base that includes shea butter.

Why? Because we believe your skin deserves nothing less than luxury care in every lather.

Feel the Difference

Once you try a Velvet Lather soap, you’ll notice your skin feels:

• Softer and smoother after every shower
• Less tight or dry during cooler months
• Balanced and healthy year-round
