4 Shea Butter Skincare Benefits

The kernels of shea trees are known for their wonderful properties and particularly their benefits for skin. Shea trees are native to West Africa. Most shea butter still comes from that region and you can find this ingredient in many moisturizers and lotions. Here's why:

1. It smoothes and conditions your skin thanks to its fatty acids like oleic acids. They keep the skin hydrated for long periods of time without feeling oily as it absorbers quickly. 

2. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help with rashes, scratches, delicate or irritated skin, sunburns and for treating eczema and other skin conditions.

3. It has antioxidants including vitamin A, vitamin E and various fats. The means anti-aging properties that can help to delay the appearance of fine lines and free radical damage.

4. It is suitable for mostly all skin types, including very sensitive ones, as shea butter has a non-comedogenic nature meaning it won’t clog pores. 

There's plenty of reasons why we like to include this powerful oil in a lot of our products. The ones mentioned above show why shea butter is so versatile and effective to enhance your daily skincare products. Most of our lip balms have this important oil to heal, soothe, calm and nourish cracked lips and lock in moisture. Our hand lotion also does not forget this wonderful ingredient!
