A client is asking about shea butter for nipple cream . I found some information on the puresheabutter.com website. It says that shea(Karite or Kolo) nut is used both cosmetically, pharmaceutically , and the butter is used for cooking. It's byproducts are said to be " an important source of edible fat". Would any International Lactnetters have input into this question? I searched the archives and only found 4 notations; not helpful.
