Moisturising and healing properties
100% unrefined shea
butter contains an abundance of healing ingredients, including vitamins,
minerals, proteins and a unique fatty acid profile, and is a superior active
moisturiser. Unlike petroleum based moisturisers, shea butter actually
restores the skin's natural elasticity. Shea butter enables your skin to
absorb moisture from the air and, as a result, it becomes softer and stays
moisturised for longer. In addition, shea butter has natural sunscreen
properties and anti-inflammatory agents. Because of its amazing properties,
shea butter is an excellent ingredient for soaps, lotions and creams. Shea
butter is most effective when applied to the skin in its pure state. Regular
users of pure, unrefined shea butter notice softer, smoother, healthier skin.
Shea butter has also been shown to help with skin conditions and ailments such
as extreme dryness, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, skin allergies, fungal
infections, blemishes, wrinkles, stretch marks, scars, scrapes, dry hands and
cuticles, and many more.
Shea butter possesses oil-like characteristics, whilst retaining good
spreadability and quick rub-in properties.
