Shea Butter and Skin

Shea butter is a natural oil that, thanks to its high content of unsaponifiable fatty acids, can penetrate deep into the skin and release its valuable nutrients there. It has a moisturizing effect, strengthens the skin barrier, and protects against dehydration, sun, wind, and weather, as well as UV rays. Shea butter can be used as a night cream and is suitable for all skin types. It soothes, relaxes, smooths, and nourishes the skin and is particularly effective for dry, chapped, and sensitive skin, as well as for chapped lips and rough hands. Shea butter can also be helpful for skin irritations, stretch marks, and tired feet. It is also used by healers and is now valued in our part of the world for its versatile applications.

It's a real lifesaver, especially in winter when lips get particularly dry and chapped.

Shea butter is also an excellent choice during and after pregnancy. It helps reduce stretch marks and firms the skin after childbirth.

In Africa, shea butter is also used in traditional healing practices and has proven effective for treating skin irritations and itching. It can also help soften and lighten scars.

With a natural SPF of 4, shea butter can also provide some protection against the sun's rays and makes an excellent after-sun cream, as it penetrates deeply into the skin and helps moisturize it.

Shea butter is also an effective choice for insect bites, as it has a soothing effect and relieves itching.

Not only women, but men as well can benefit from shea butter by using it as an aftershave balm to prevent skin irritation and soothe the skin.

Shea butter is a great choice for a thoroughly comfortable skin feel, especially if you choose pure, unrefined shea butter. Click here to visit our shop.
