Spring To Summer Shea Blend - CTS Skin Shellac™️Body Butter

We have handcrafted this amazing butter using a sophisticated blend of Squalane, Jojoba, and Blackberry Seed oils to create a high-refractive index. When applied, these botanicals don't just sit on the skin—they are locked in place by a structured Vegan Wax film.

This creates the signature "Shellac" effect: a light-reflecting barrier that stays on the surface of the skin, giving you a persistent, "wet-look" glow that lasts for hours. Whether you are under the sun or the spotlight, your skin remains visibly glazed, deeply hydrated, and undeniably radiant. 💫

East African Shea Nilotica (Nile River Valley)

• Benefit: The crown jewel of our formula. Harvested from wild trees along the fertile banks of the Nile, this rare butter is naturally rich in Vitamins A and E. With a 25% higher oleic acid content than standard shea, it provides a powerful age-defying profile that restores skin elasticity and delivers an incomparable, "bouncy" skin texture.

Unscented Shea Butter

• Benefit: We utilize a premium unscented shea base to provide a clean, elegant sensory experience for those who prefer a neutral scent profile. It serves as a dense, protective foundation that repairs the skin’s lipid barrier.

Fractionated Shea (Liquid Nut Oil)

• Benefit: To ensure no compromise on performance, we replenish the formula with liquid fractionated shea. This targeted infusion replaces the vital nutrients and vitamins often lost during the deodorizing process, ensuring your skin receives a full-spectrum, bioactive treatment.

Plant-Based Squalane

• Benefit: The "glass factor." Our 100% plant-derived squalane is a biomimetic lipid that provides a high-refractive, mirror-like shine without a greasy feel. It acts as a liquid polisher, penetrating deeply to improve skin texture while leaving a crystal-clear, "wet" glow on the surface.

Jojoba Oil

• Benefit: A liquid botanical wax that perfectly mimics the skin's natural sebum. It provides the long-lasting, "wet-look" glow and acts as a humectant to keep the skin supple and hydrated for the entire day.

Baobab Oil

• Benefit: Sourced from the "Tree of Life," this oil is packed with Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. It is a powerhouse for improving skin tone and providing the antioxidant protection needed to combat environmental aging.

Blackberry Seed Oil

• Benefit: A luxury botanical rich in Vitamin C. It brightens the skin’s appearance and provides a refined, silky finish to the shellac glaze while protecting against oxidative stress.

Vegan Wax (Candelilla/Carnauba)

• Benefit: The structural "clear coat." This plant-based wax creates the breathable, protective film that gives the product its signature "shellac" finish, ensuring the radiance stays locked on the surface of the skin.

Emulsifying Wax

• Benefit: Acts as a stabilizing agent to ensure a perfect, uniform distribution of the nutrient-rich oils. It creates the smooth, "plasticized" lacquer effect that allows the butter to glide onto the skin flawlessly.

The Proprietary CTS Difference: Beyond Comparison

In a market saturated with "basic" butters, CTS Skin Shellac stands alone. Our proprietary formula is a masterclass in cosmetic chemistry—a dense, solid white butter that transforms into a high-shine shield upon contact.

Why It’s Worth Every Drop?

Every 8 oz jar is a concentrated blend of pure, active botanicals—no water, no fillers, and no cheap synthetics. You are investing in:

• Ethically Sourced Ingredients: Direct from the source in East Africa.

• Advanced Formulation: A professional-grade balance of occlusive protection and deep cellular nourishment.

• Unrivaled Aesthetic: The only product designed to give you the "Skin Shellac" finish—a mirror-like radiance that justifies its place on the vanity of the most discerning skincare connoisseurs.

Because CTS Skin Shellac is an anhydrous (water-free), 100% active formula, a very small amount is required to achieve a full-body glow. Follow these steps to unlock the professional-grade radiance.

1. The Prep

For the most reflective results, apply immediately after a shower or bath while your skin is still slightly damp. This allows the Plant-Based Squalane and Shea Nilotica to trap that moisture, creating a plumper, more hydrated appearance.

2. The Warm-Up

Using the included spatula or clean fingertips, scoop a pea-sized amount. Rub your palms together to "flash-melt" the butter. Because of the Nile-grown Nilotica, the butter will transform instantly into a silky, golden oil.

3. The Application

Massage into the skin using long, sweeping strokes.

• For a Soft Glow: Massage until fully absorbed.

• For the "Shellac" Glaze: Apply a slightly more generous layer to visible areas (legs, arms, collarbones) and allow it to sit for 30 seconds.

The Vegan Waxes will set into a breathable, high-refractive film that mimics a clear lacquer.

4. Targeted Highlights

For an editorial, "wet-look" finish on the shins or shoulders, dab a tiny extra amount onto the high points of the body. The light will catch the Squalane and Jojoba blend, providing a high-definition shine that lasts all day.

Storage, Care, and Shelf Life

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. To preserve the soft texture of the Nile-grown Nilotica and the stability of the active botanicals, avoid extreme heat. If the butter melts in high temperatures, simply place it in the refrigerator until it resolidifies; its efficacy and performance will not be compromised.

Shelf Life (PAO): We recommend using CTS Skin Shellac within 12 months after opening to ensure maximum nutrient potency. The natural Vitamin C in the Blackberry Seed Oil is most effective within this timeframe.

Ingredient Note: West African Shea and Shea Nut Oil are derived from the seed of the shea fruit. While shea is not a common allergen, those with severe nut or seed allergies should exercise caution and consult a physician if unsure.

Vitamin E & Bioactives: This formula contains high concentrations of Vitamin E and active botanical antioxidants. If you have sensitive skin or known sensitivities to concentrated vitamins, we recommend a patch test.

The 24-Hour Patch Test: 

1. Apply a small amount of CTS Skin Shellac to the inside of your wrist or elbow.

2. Monitor the area for 24 hours.

3. If any redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use.
