Banaba Leaf extract is my secret weapon! Wonderful for use in shea body butters - Softens and moisturizes beautifully. This works for the treatment of Ichthyosis Dermatosis,which is a serious, genetic skin disorder. Dispurses best in glycerine or carrier oil then whipped into butter. Try it , you won't be disappointed!
