Shea Butter

We use shea butter in our skin care products to reduce the perceived "greasiness" of our products while providing numerous additional benefits, including:

  1. Moisturizing: Shea butter is an excellent natural moisturizer that can help hydrate and nourish the skin. It contains high levels of fatty acids and vitamins that can help improve skin's natural moisture retention, leading to softer, smoother, and more supple skin.

  2. Anti-inflammatory: Shea butter contains anti-inflammatory compounds, such as cinnamic acid and lupeol cinnamate, to help soothe skin irritation and reduce redness.

  3. Anti-aging: Shea butter contains antioxidants, such as vitamin E, that can help protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals, which can contribute to premature aging.

  4. Sun protection: Shea butter contains a natural SPF of 6, which can provide some protection against the sun's harmful UV rays.

  5. Healing properties: Shea butter contains compounds, such as triterpenes, that can help promote wound healing and reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Overall, shea butter is a versatile ingredient that can benefit a wide range of skin types and concerns, making it a popular choice in many skin care products.
