Benefits and uses of Shea Butter

Shea butter is extremely moisturizing and hydrating as it melts upon skin contact, is easily absorbed by the skin, and protects the skin’s moisture barrier without leaving a greasy residue. Raw, unrefined Shea Butter is comprised of many properties that are beneficial to the skin. It helps in reducing the appearance of wrinkles by moisturizing the skin so that the complexion looks firm and revitalized. Rich in Essential Fatty Acids, primarily stearic and oleic acid, Shea Butter alleviates chapping, cracking and roughness due to dryness and promotes skin elasticity. Shea contains allantoin, which acts as a skin conditioning agent that causes the skin to soften, revitalizing and revealing the next layer of skin. Consisting of Vitamin A and E, Shea Butter helps to protect the skin against the abuse of external environmental elements and keeps the skin looking soft and supple.

Shea Butter is non-comedogenic and penetrates deeply into the skin and leaves a smooth, satiny finish on the skin.  It is an effective excipient for delivering bioactive ingredients to the skin and is often used in natural beauty products to reduce the appearance of fine line, age spots, and reduces visible signs of aging. It moisturizes and improves the tone and texture of skin so the complexion looks radiant.
