Over the past couple of decades Shea Butter has become a number one ingredient in many skin care products. Although it has been around for centuries, some are only discovering all the benefits it offers, and why it is the superfood for skin and hair.

What is Shea Butter?

Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. It is ivory in color when raw and commonly dyed yellow with borututu root or palm oil. Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in some African countries. Shea trees are native to West Africa, and most shea butter still comes from that region.

Shea butter has been used as a cosmetic ingredient for centuries. Its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids — combined with its easy-to-spread consistency — make it a great product for smoothing, soothing, and conditioning your skin.

Benefits of Shea Butter

Some refer to shea as the skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree. It may offer mild UV protection (up to SPF ~6) and provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production.

Shea Butter also nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy. They are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin and helps prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines.

The Vitamin A in shea butter is important for improving skin conditions, including blemishes, wrinkles, eczema, and dermatitis.

Vitamin F acts as a protector and rejuvenator soothing rough dry or chapped skin and helps soften dry or damaged hair.

Additionally, premium shea butter has properties that treat skin allergies, insect bites, sunburn and frostbite.
