Institut Karite
Paris 

From the Institut Karite Paris we have bought a beautiful new range of soaps, shower and bath washes, body lotions, hand cream, hair products, foot massage cream and more. This range has been developed to take natural care of dry, sensitive or damaged skin.

According to legend, Queen Nefertiti owed her divine beauty to a marvellous cream used by some African peoples to keep their hair and skin beautiful and youthful. Centuries later explorers to darkest Africa took back to Europe this rare balm known as shea butter. Only recently have dermatologists and cosmetic researchers demonstrated the exceptional moisturizing, nourishing, protecting and restructuring activities of shea butter which is made from the seeds of the sacred shea tree.

Shea butter contains vitamins A and D, to revitalize the skin, vitamin E to re-oxygenate it and vitamin F to improve elasticity.
