WHAT IS SHEA BUTTER?
Shea butter comes from the seeds of the shea tree, which is native to Western and Eastern Africa. This butter is packed with vitamins A and E, and is composed of so-called “good fatty acids” — specifically linoleic, oleic, stearic and palmitic acids (which are super hydrating for skin!).
SHEA BUTTER BENEFITS FOR SKIN
Shea butter functions as an emollient to help keep skin soft and is friendly to sensitive skin. Dermatologists love it for its ability to soothe and relieve dry skin. The impressive combo of antioxidants and fatty acids within shea butter means this luscious ingredient can go beyond just bringing moisture back to your skin, it can actually help bolster the skin barrier by locking in moisture and keeping dryness out. If persistent dry skin and chapped lips are your skin concerns, shea butter’s super hydrating benefits make it the best addition to your regular skin moisture routine.
