Same clean base. One active. For sensitive skin, what counts most is what's NOT in it.
For irritated and sensitive skin, every extra ingredient is an extra risk. Fragrance, essential oil, preservative, thickeners, colourant — those are typically the troublemakers. So Shea Heal is built by removing them all. What's left is the clean base and one active: concentrated calendula CO2 extract.
The extract is so concentrated that one gram corresponds to around twenty grams of dried calendula — so even a small amount is a real dose. This is where the faradiol esters sit, the fraction the literature points to. For sensitive and stressed skin, and for skin after sun, travel or a hard week.
What's in it — and what it does:
- Unrefined West African shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) — as in Shea Ren.
- Squalane (Squalane) — skin-identical lipid; our light element, not water or cheap oil.
- Calendula extract (Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract) — the single active. CO2-extracted marigold flower, a concentrated source of faradiol esters.
- Tocopherol (Tocopherol) — antioxidant buffer.
About the colour: Calendula gives a slightly warm-golden tone — the plant's own carotenoids, not added colour.
INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Squalane, Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) Flower Extract, Tocopherol
How to use: Like Shea Ren. Good on dry, irritated or stressed skin. Also suitable for the littlest ones (from 3 months).
Storage: Room temperature, dark.
Shelf life: Min. 18 months from production date.
Collapsible content
Vandfri — derfor
Ingen vand. Det lyder enkelt, men det ændrer alt: uden vand er der intet at konservere (derfor ingen konservering), intet at binde (derfor ingen emulgator), intet at fortynde med.
Hele bøtten arbejder. Du smører ikke fortyndingsmiddel på huden — 60 ml er 60 ml produkt.
Plantebaseret hele vejen: shea og squalane (udvundet af oliven). Ingen animalske fedtstoffer.
Shea or tallow?
Both are rich, protective butters that sit like a layer on the skin. We love beef tallow — in our soaps, and in our lip balm.
But a whipped butter stays on the skin, and there we choose shea butter: plant-based, and with a natural fraction of unsaponifiable material (triterpene esters and tocopherols) that is preserved when the shea is cold-pressed and unrefined. It's the right fat for the right purpose — not the cheapest.
What is squalane?
Squalane is a skin-identical lipid.
Squalene makes up about an eighth of the skin's own sebum; squalane is the stable form that doesn't go rancid. It makes the whip lighter and less greasy — without us adding a soft oil that could go rancid in the jar.
It's more expensive than ordinary plant oils. We use it because it's stable and skin-friendly, not because it's cheap.
Our squalane is derived from olives. It's non-comedogenic — it doesn't clog pores — and suits all skin types.
What is a CO2 extract?
Most natural products use a pressed oil: you press the seed and out comes mostly carrier fat with a tiny bit of active. We do it differently when we add an active.
A CO2 extract is drawn out with CO2 under pressure, which then evaporates without a trace — zero solvent residue. What's left is the concentrated active fraction, not diluted in foreign oil. That lets us dose the active precisely and in an amount that actually works. It's the cleanest extraction method there is.
Note: Whip SHEA REN deliberately contains no extract — only the pure three-ingredient base. It's RENEW (pomegranate seed) and HEAL (calendula) that add one active, both as a CO2 extract. If you want an active in your butter, those are the ones to look at.
The INCI list is on every product page.
Om duften
Alle vores shea body butters er uparfumerede — vi tilsætter ingen duft. Men uparfumeret er ikke det samme som duftfri: uraffineret sheasmør har sin egen naturlige, milde nøddeduft med en diskret jordet note.
Derfor dufter vores mildt. Vores shea er udvundet ved koldpresning — uden tilført varme, vand eller kemiske opløsningsmidler. Det er netop ristningen og kogningen i traditionel fremstilling, der udvikler den stærke, næsten røgede duft. Når de trin springes over, beholder smørret både sine bioaktiver og en blid duft. (Vi har selv duftet flere til sammenligning — vores er mærkbart mildere.)
Sådan opfører den sig. Duften bliver blødt hos dig, også timer efter — men tæt på huden, ikke påtrængende. Du mærker den, når du fører huden til næsen, ikke i rummet omkring dig. Blød, rund og ret behagelig — efter vores mening.
How to use it
Take a small amount between your fingers and let the warmth melt it before you spread it. The whip turns liquid at skin temperature, so a little goes a long way — a 30 ml jar lasts a long time. Use on clean, dry skin.
(RENEW: ideally in the evening — longer contact time on the skin.)
Storage
Room temperature, dark. Not the fridge, not a hot car. It's temperature fluctuations that make the airy structure collapse — not heat itself.
