What is Shea Butter?
Shea butter is a skin superfood that comes from
the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree and
that is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. It offers
UV protection (it is SPF ~6) and provides the skin
with essential fatty acids and the nutrients
necessary for collagen production. Shea butter has
been used in Africa and other countries for years to
improve skin and hair.


Shea Butter Benefits


Moisturizing: The concentration of natural
vitamins and fatty acids in Shea butter makes
it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for
skin. It is often used to remedy dry skin and to
help protect the skin’s natural oils.


Reduces Inflammation: A 2010 study found
that due to its cinnamic acid and other natural
properties, shea butter was anti-inflammatory.
( source) One compound in particular, lupeol
cinnamate, was found to reduce skin
inflammation and even potentially help avoid
skin mutations. This also makes it beneficial
for some people with acne.


Skin Smoothing: Shea butter aids in the
skin’s natural collagen production and
contains oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic
acids that protect and nourish the skin to
prevent drying. With long term use, many
people report skin softening and
strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.

Shea Butter Uses
Shea butter is one of the most versatile natural
beauty ingredients and I use it daily in some form.
I’ve used it for years in everything from my
homemade lotion bars and original magnesium
body butter to homemade lip balms and healing
salves.




Here are things you can also use the Shea Butter for :
1. By itself for face and body as a natural
moisturizer

2. In a shea butter lotion bar stick for easy use

3. Alone or in a pregnancy stretch mark salve to
ward off stretch marks

4. As the best under-eye wrinkle remover and
bag-reducer

5. For massage butter

6. In velvety soft whipped body butter

7. or basic homemade lotion

8. As a base for homemade deodorant

9. As an SPF 6 skin lotion

10. In magnesium body butter

11. As a natural baby-care product (alone) or
ingredient in baby care recipes

12. By itself on the lips or in homemade lip balms

13. Or homemade shimmer lip balm

14. To improve skin elasticity (some even say it
helps with cellulite)

15. On the hair or scalp (in mixture with other
natural ingredients)

16. In homemade liquid creme foundation and
makeup

17. After sun or beach exposure to replenish skin

18. On the eyelids before applying makeup to
make it last longer

19. As a natural cuticle cream

20. On scars to naturally help collagen production

21. On sore/raw noses during a cold or flu


What Kind of Shea Butter is Best?
I only use natural, unrefined, Grade A Shea butter.
There are many refined Shea butters that are odor
free and bleached to be completely white, but the
refining process removes some of the beneficial
properties...so the best shea butter is the natural one that is not refined...you can get the natural shea butter anywhere in africa....
