NATURE REPUBLIC Shea Butter Steam Cream carries 51,000ppm of African shea butter in a steam-emulsified formula — the richness of a butter cream with a texture light enough to use every day.
51,000ppm of African shea butter
Shea is the classic rescue ingredient for skin that has gone rough and dull, and at roughly 5.1% of the formula it’s doing real work here rather than making an appearance on the label.
What steam emulsion actually means
The formula is stabilized using constant steam at around 100 degrees, melting the shea butter into a soft, light texture. It’s why this cream feels nothing like the dense balm you might expect.
For rough skin, in any season
Cold winter air and summer air conditioning cause the same problem from opposite directions. This is the cream for skin that feels rough and depleted from external stress, whichever season is responsible.
Balances moisture and oil
Rather than simply coating the surface, the formula aims to settle the balance between water and oil — which is what leaves skin feeling satiny rather than greasy after it sinks in.
Face, hands, elbows, heels
A 100ml jar is generous enough to take head to toe. Dry skin will happily use it on the face; oilier skin might keep it for hands, elbows, knees and heels.
Comfortable on sensitive skin
The mild formula and soft texture make it an easy choice when skin is feeling reactive — though as always, patch test first if yours is easily triggered.
As the final step of your routine, take an appropriate amount and smooth it over face and neck, patting until absorbed. Apply a more generous layer at night or on rough patches. Can also be used on hands, elbows, knees and heels.
A production method where the formula is stabilized using constant steam at around 100 degrees. The result is a lighter, softer texture than you’d expect from a shea butter cream.
What does 51,000ppm shea butter mean?
Parts per million — 51,000ppm works out to about 5.1% of the formula, a substantial share for a rich butter in a cream this light.
Is it too heavy for the face?
The steam-emulsified texture is lighter than most shea creams. Dry skin will love it on the face; oilier skin may prefer to keep it for hands, elbows and body.
Can I use it on my body?
Yes — hands, elbows, knees and heels all benefit. A 100ml jar is generous enough to use head to toe on the driest patches.
When is the best time to use it?
Winter and dry indoor air are when a shea cream earns its place — though rough summer skin from air conditioning benefits just as much.
How do the three types differ?
The line comes in three versions built around the same shea butter base — check the variant options above to see which is currently available.
