Babies & Kids Bubble Bath, Lemon Lavender, Pump Included – Gentle Cleanser with Raw Shea Butter and Lemon Balm, 32 Fl Oz

The main ingredient for many Alaffia products including Everyday Shea Bubble Bath for Babies is pure, fair trade Shea Butter. Shea butter is the oil from the nuts of wild Shea trees (Vitellaria paradoxa - also known as Butyrospermum parkii in the cosmetic industry) scattered throughout the wooded savanna of West and Central Africa. Shea butter has been used for centuries in Africa, and is completely enmeshed within the history and culture of the West African savanna. It is mentioned in almost all African historical documents, including a reference as early as Cleopatra's Egypt, which mentions caravans bearing clay jars of Shea butter for cosmetic use, and shea butter has always been a staple of African pharmacology. Shea butter has been used for centuries in Africa for herbal salves, lotions for hair and skin care, and cooking oil. However, it's protective and emollient properties are most valued for skin care.
