West Africans have been using Shea Butter for centuries for skincare.
Shea butter is a slightly yellowish fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree (vitellaria paradoxa). The English word for ‘shea’ comes from the tree’s name in the Bamana language of Mali, Africa.
Shea Butter protects the skin from wind, cold, and sun and helps the skin heal faster as it promotes and accelerates wound healing. It is more effective for stretch marks than cocoa butter is.
Shea Butter has anti-inflammatory, emollient and humectant properties. It is rich in natural moisture and vitamins, which can protect and heal the skin. Shea Butter benefits human skin in numerous ways due to its high moisturizing abilities, and capabilities to heal blemishes and scaring.
Some of the benefits of Shea Butter includes: preventing dehydration of the skin, restoring skin elasticity, bringing back moisture, restores the hydrolipidic film within our skin and forms a protective layer over the skin; nourishes the skin, retards the formation of wrinkles in the skin, reduces degeneration of skin cells, restores flexibility of the skin, relieves itchy skin, calms irritations to the skin, and rejuvenates skin.
Like mango butter, Shea Butter melts with skin contact. It is solid at room temperature but will melt with skin contact which is a melting point between 31 and 36 degrees celsius.
The moisturizers in Shea Butter are the same moisturizers produced by the sabaceous glands in the skin.
Shea Butter heals and has the ability to heal minor imperfections of the skin, inclusive of minor scaring, blemishes, and discoloration of skin tone. It is great for chapped lips and sun-burned skin and helps to create a more natural complexion. It also has properties to protect the skin from external aggressions. It penetrates easily and does not clog the pores (like Lanolin and mineral oil). It contains cinnamic acids which protect the skin against the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Shea Butter is rich in nutrition: Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Iron, Calcium, Beta-Carotene, and Proteins that help to protect and heal the skin. It also contains antioxidants. Shea Butter is composed of five principal fatty acids: palmitic, stearic, oleic (37% - 55%), linoleic, and arachidic.
