LPL’s latest formulation features Shea butter. It helps make a hearty lather and gives the skin a lasting plumpness that prolongs the sensation of having just shaved. I’m told that ‘Shea’ rhymes with ‘tea’, though an alternate pronunciation rhyming with ‘day’ is also common. Shea’s scientific name is butyrospermum parkii butter. You’ve probably seen this listed among the ingredients of some of your favorite soaps. ‘Butyrospermum’ means ‘butter seed’, while ‘Parkii’ comes from the surname of the intrepid Scottish explorer Mungo Park. Traveling through west Africa at the end of the 18th-century, Park appears to have been one of the first Europeans to come across the Shea tree and its remarkable seeds. The French, who followed Park, called the tree and its butter by a different name, karité. That word has nothing to do with ‘charity’ as I once believed. Karité is simply the French pronunciation of the Wolof word for the Shea tree, ghariti.
