General safety info about Butyrosperum Parkii (Shea) Butter Extract from CIR
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of 13 Butyrospermum parkii (shea)- derived ingredients, which are most frequently reported to function in cosmetics as skin and hair conditioning agents. The Panel reviewed the available data to determine the safety of these ingredients. Because final product formulations may contain multiple botanicals, each containing similar constituents of concern, formulators are advised to be aware of these constituents and to avoid reaching levels that may be hazardous to consumers. Industry should use good manufacturing practices to limit impurities that could be present in botanical ingredients. The Panel concluded that the 9 butter, oil, and glyceride ingredients are safe as used in the present practices of use and concentration as described in this safety assessment, while the data on the 4 nut and seedcake ingredients are insufficient to determine safety.
