chacha3: As for me I used it on my new born baby and noticed rashes over his body esp on his face,it was really bad I had to go and see a doctor so I stopped using the shea butter on him. Different strokes for different folks. I may try using it personally shaa. Maybe you bought the fake one, only the fake reacts badly as such.. |

Shea butter is a product I will forever treasure. I was attacked by a pit bull and had wounds on my face and hand. When I got to the hospital, I was told that my wounds would heal but leave a very heavy scar on my face and hand! I was getting married in four months time, so began my mission to get anything that would not make me have scars; then I happened upon http://www.shearadiance.com/ where this Nigerian couple sell bulk natural Shea butter. I bought the butter and began applying it to my face and hand and was surprised when the scar on my face began to heal and appear smaller before twenty four hours and the one on my hand began to disappear two days later. Within a week, everyone who saw me when I had the attack were very shocked as to how I looked normal; as if nothing ever happened! I became overjoyed and began using the butter all over my body and my once monstrous stretchmarks are now very faint. Now, I use Shea butter mixed with virgin unrefined coconut oil I found at http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/ on my hair, face, and entire body. God has already prepared everything we humans would ever need here on earth for our stay, so I am very pro natural products and I hope this encourages you all to begin using natural oils and such. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I love the way shea butter enhances one's natural beauty and complexion; whether you're ebony skinned or light it just gives you this radiant glow. I always have people asking me what cream I use. Mixed with morrocan argan oil, it's pure heaven! 1 Like |

While u ladies talk about it, I already melted the shea butter I left abandoned in my wardrobe for a while now, and mixed it with a little amount of olive oil. The yellow plate contains the melted shea butter while the white plate contains the solid form. The empty bottle is for the mixture while I took a little from the full olive oil bottle to neutralize the odour. Do I need to add anything more? Don't worry about the smirn off ice , its not going into the bottle with the rest 2 Likes 1 Share

Ladies, U need well refined shea for desired effects & avoid the rashes. But can U identify such? @movado--Nice to know sm1 is doing smtin to aid the local women into turning the nuts to better quality butter. Its surprising lots of the ladies don't know efficacy of shea. Only the chocolate industry (used as filler substitute for cocoa butter in chocolates, and yes, its edible, northern women do cook with it) rivals the cosmetics' in consumption/purchase of shea butter. Its an ignored export product only some few foreigners have been exploiting for ages-check out online butter/product prices with local ones! |

Re: The Beauty Of Shea Butter(ori)(kadanya) by slimphemmie(f): 12:37pm On Jan 04, 2013 |
The best skin care I'll gladly recommend is "ORI" i.e SHEA BUTTER. Please Read why. What is Shea Butter? Shea Butter is only found in the tropics of Africa. It is extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree which begins to bear fruit after about 15 years; and can take up to 30 years to bear a quality crop of nuts with a high content of irremovable fatty acid. It is this fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties and makes it far superior to cocoa butter and other vegetable butters. Traditionally, Shea Butter was extracted by people who picked the nuts, cracked them, grilled them and pounded them. They were boiled in water for hours until the Shea Butter rose to the surface. It was then scooped into gourds and left to cool and set. Shea Butter is solid at room temperature although it quickly liquefies right around body temperature. This Shea Butter is called unrefined Shea Butter or raw Shea Butter. Since Shea Butter is an all natural product, it can vary widely in quality, appearance and smell depending on where it is produced from and how it is refined or extracted. Most Shea Butter comes from West Africa. How Can I tell Good Shea Butter? Pure Shea Butter can be found in three types of extractions. Also, recently, Shea Butter has begun to be graded. • Raw or unrefined: extracted using water. The color ranges from like cream (similar to whipped butter) to grayish yellow. This is the original form of Shea Butter. • Refined: is more highly processed. Has many of its natural components still intact. • Highly refined or processed: solvents are used to increase the yield (hexane is an example). The color is pure white. How should Shea Butter smell? Shea Butter has a natural, nutty smell. Over time the smell of the Shea Butter will diminish. If an unrefined Shea Butter has almost no smell, it is probably getting old. How do I store Shea Butter? Shea Butter does not need to be refrigerated. However, over a period of two or three years, the Shea Butter will begin to lose some of its effectiveness. As the natural ingredients begin to break down, some of the healing benefits will be reduced, but the Shea Butter will continue to be an effective moisturizer. Store Shea Butter is a cool (not necessarily cold) place. If you’re going to use it within a couple of years, you should have no problems. My Shea Butter melted One of the great things about Shea Butter is its low melting point. When you apply it to your skin, it literally liquefies. However, one of the bad things about Shea Butter is its low melting point. It’s quite possible it will melt in a hot room. It may even be melted when it’s delivered to you in the summer months. If this happens, don’t worry. The Shea Butter is good. Just take the lid off of the container and set it in the refrigerator until it gets hard again. As it begins to cool, you might want to give it a stir to bring the olein (liquid parts) back into contact with the stearin (solid parts) so that the Shea Butter is uniform throughout. What color should my Shea Butter be? The color of unrefined Shea Butter depends on the Shea nuts used. Shea nuts will vary in color from almost white to yellow. Therefore, refined Shea Butter will vary in color. You will not be able to determine the authenticity or quality of Shea Butter based strictly on its color. There is even a naturally golden yellow colored Shea Butter. Shea Butter should never be green, extremely hard or greasy though. Most Shea Butter is a creamy color. Shea Butter that is pure, bright white is highly refined and may or may not have its healing properties intact depending on how it was refined. How can Shea Butter benefit me? Shea Butter can provide relief from everything from just dry skin to many minor dermatological diseases (if you have a serious skin condition, you should see a doctor). It has been clinically shown to provide benefits. Here are some of the benefits of Shea Butter for the skin: • Daily skin moisturizer (face and body) • Dry skin relief • Dry scalp • Skin rash- including diaper rash • Skin peeling, after tanning • Blemishes and wrinkles • Itching skin due to dryness • Sunburn • Shaving cream to reduce razor irritation • Small skin wounds • Skin cracks • Soften tough skin on feet (especially heels) • Stretch mark prevention during pregnancy • Minor burns • Eczema • Sun and wind protection • Even skin tone • Reduce blemishes and scarring • Eliminating scalp irritation from dryness or chemical processing • Preventing bumps after shaving • Reducing acne • Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue • Helps restore elasticity to skin • Restores luster to hair How does Shea Butter benefit my skin? Shea Butter nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy. They are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin. They help prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator. It soothes rough, dry or chapped skin and helps soften dry or damaged hair. Shea Butter is high in unsaponifiables (a type of fat). Shea Butter has between 7-12% unsaponifiables. For comparison, avocado oil, a well known skin conditioner, has between 2-6%. This high level of unsaponifiables is one of the properties that makes Shea Butter so invaluable in treating the conditions listed above. Also, Shea Butter easily penetrates the skin allowing the skin to breathe and not clogging pores. Shea Butter has a high level of cinnamic acid, a natural sun screen. So, it provides some degree of protection from the sun. Shea Butter is also anti-inflammatory making it useful in treating rheumatism. Is all Shea Butter the same? All Shea Butter is not the same. Shea Butter loses some of its healing properties as it sits on the shelf, so very old Shea Butter is not as beneficial. Refining techniques will vary. Highly processed Shea Butter will not be as effective. Sometimes Shea Butter is mixed with other ingredients that reduce its benefits. Then, there are those products that add very little Shea Butter but prominently display “Shea Butter” on the label. While Shea Butter is not very expensive, you should be aware of products that claim to provide the benefits of Shea Butter and sell for very low prices. Many manufacturers are taking advantage of the Shea Butter buzz by adding a little Shea Butter to a very inexpensive product implying you can get the benefits of Shea Butter in their product. What can I tell by looking at the label? Ingredients on the label should be listed in the order from the ingredient that is the most to the least. Therefore, you should look for Shea Butter products that list Shea Butter early on the list of ingredients. You should know the ingredients before you buy any Shea Butter product and should buy from a reputable source. The more Shea Butter in a product, the greater the likelihood, you will receive the full benefits of Shea Butter. What’s the difference between raw Shea butter, refined Shea butter and highly refined Shea Butter? The differences between raw, refined and highly refined Shea Butter lie in how the Shea Butter is extracted from the nut and how it is processed after that. Manual extraction processes leave more of the raw ingredients in the Shea Butter. After it is extracted, it can be further refined removing color and impurities that some people don’t like. This further refining can also remove some of the smell. You can think of the difference between raw Shea Butter and refined Shea Butter as being similar to the difference between wheat bread and white bread. Truly raw Shea Butter can even be unfiltered. That is one end of the spectrum. On the other end, there is Shea Butter that is extracted using chemicals that is pure white, has no smell and has lost a lot of its healing properties in the process. Do I want raw Shea Butter or Refined Shea Butter? This is really a matter of preference. I prefer raw Shea Butter. Unless you do not like the smell of Shea Butter, we recommend you go with raw. The more the Shea Butter is processed, the higher the chance some of the “good stuff” is going to be removed. Certainly, none of the healing or moisturizing properties of Shea Butter are enhanced by the further processing to make it white and odorless. If you do not like the smell of SheaButter, try to get refined Shea Butter that is refined without the use of solvents. 7 Likes |
