Shea butter is the ultimate skin superfood, if you’re tired of chemical-filled skincare products with short-term results. It’s time to embrace this natural skin savior that can replace your entire skincare routine. From moisturizers to toners and anti-aging creams, offers it all in one. Let’s dive into its extraordinary benefits and versatility.
WHAT IS SHEA BUTTER?
It comes from the nuts of the shea tree, also known as Karite, found in East and West Tropical Africa. Known as the “Tree of Life,” the shea tree provides a natural fat with countless benefits for skin, hair, and health. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and oily skin, and is gentle enough for children.
HOW DOES IT BENEFIT YOUR SKIN?
It is packed with powerful components like oleic acid, stearic acid, vitamins A, E, and F, and cinnamic acid esters. These make it a multitasking ingredient that offers the following benefits:
1. Ideal Moisturizer:
Locks in moisture while softening and soothing skin. It works as a humectant, emollient, and occlusive, ensuring complete hydration.
2. Relieves Eczema:
Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce itchiness, dryness, and inflammation caused by eczema.
3. Anti-Aging Effects:
Boosts collagen, promotes cell regeneration, and fights free radicals to keep your skin firm and youthful.
4. Reduces Acne:
Its non-comedogenic nature prevents clogged pores, while vitamins A and E regulate oil production and combat acne-causing bacteria.
5. Scar Reduction:
Fatty acids and vitamins improve skin texture, reduce scar tissue, and promote healing.
6. UV Protection:
While not a replacement for sunscreen, it provides mild protection from UV rays for short-term exposure.
TYPES OF SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter comes in several types, each varying in processing and quality:
- Raw : Organic and unprocessed, retaining all nutrients and natural aroma.
- Unrefined : Similar to raw but filtered to remove impurities.
- Refined : Bleached and deodorized, losing some nutrients but maintaining moisturizing properties.
- Ultra-Refined : Undergoes multiple treatments, mainly used for cosmetic purposes due to lower nutritional value.
We use only organic, unrefined Grade A shea butter sourced from fair-trade suppliers in Ghana, West Africa. For those who prefer a lighter scent, some blends feature refined white shea butter.
