Shea butter (which comes from the seed of shea tree) is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E and many essential fatty acids, and is a wonderful moisturizer. In fact, the natural moisturizers in shea butter are virtually identical to the moisturizers produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Shea butter is also an emollient, which softens the skin, and it also soothes inflamed skin, reduces scars, blemishes and brown spots on the skin, and smoothes out wrinkles and stretch marks. Shea butter absorbs rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Furthermore, shea butter contains an exceptionally large ‘healing fraction’. (The healing fraction contains important nutrients, vitamins, and other valuable phyto-nutrients required for healing the skin.) This means regular use of shea butter can alleviate many skin problems, including blemishes, wrinkles, itching, sunburns, small skin wounds, eczema, skin allergies, insect bites, frost bite, and other skin conditions.
Shea butter contains several natural anti-inflammatory agents and a minor sunscreen agent.
Clinical studies have shown it shea butter can transform the skin in as little as four to six weeks, making it softer, smoother, and younger looking.
We use only premium quality shea butter, which is extracted without the use of chemicals and is prepared by cold press methods.
