Shea Butter

Shea butter is a natural vegetable fat that is made from the nuts of the shea tree. In addition to being a cooking fat, it has many properties that are beneficial for the hair and skin. Raw, unrefined shea butter can be applied directly to the skin as a replacement for shaving cream, as a lip moisturizer, and to nourish the nail cuticles. It also has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that give it anti-aging properties when applied to the skin. Additionally, it is considered an emollient, meaning it helps trap moisture in the skin, giving you a hydrated and healthy complexion. Finally, when used as a hair mask, its bioactive ingredients make your hair stronger and more resistant to breakage and can even reduce scalp irritation.
