Shea butter is an all-natural vitamin A cream from West Central Africa, where skin care depends on nature. It grows in the wild without the use of pesticides.
For centuries, shea butter has been highly regarded as a superior skin moisturizer, creating moistness similar to what your skin’s sebaceous glands produce. Its deep penetration gives your skin elasticity while revitalizing and softening it. What an excellent treatment for irritated, dry, chapped, or sun-damaged skin!
Unrefined and organic shea butter contains an abundance of health-promoting ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins and a unique fatty acid profile. Well-known vitamins include A, E, and F.
Evidence also suggests that shea butter contains cinnamic-acid esters, which means it may provide some UVB protection along with its skin-smoothing benefits.
Unlike petroleum-based moisturizers, shea butter actually restores your skin’s own natural elasticity. It enables your skin to absorb moisture from the air to become softer and stay moisturized for longer.
Shea butter contains 7-12% unsaponifiables (a type of fat). By way of comparison, avocado oil, a well-known skin conditioner, contains only 2-6%. This high level of unsaponifiables is one property that makes shea butter so valuable as a skin conditioner.
But shea butter isn’t the only special life-giving ingredient in Organic Body Butter.
