Shea butter is by far the most familiar butter to use on (and in) the body for many different reasons, and for good reason! This butter is rich in antioxidants and vitamins that is extremely helpful in supporting the integrity of the skin. It is a natural butter, that is gentle for adults and children, which is derived from nuts on one of Earth’s glorious trees called the shea tree.
Here are 3 main uses for shea butter:
- Skin softener and smoother: multiple essential fatty acids to prevent dryness such as stearic, linolenic, oleic, and palmitic acids; and encourages the skin to produce its own collagen which strengthens the skin and give a smoother skin texture with a reduced-wrinkle appearance and diminishing stretch marks.
- Moisturizer: nourishing to the skin and helps protect the skin’s own natural oils to prevent dry, cracked skin – also very helpful on children with diaper/skin rashes or sores around the rim of the nostrils, and even moisturizes dry hands and cracked feet, as well as a great hair moisturizer.
- Inflammation reduction: it has natural properties that can help avoid skin mutations and skin inflammation.
