Shea Butter for Skin


What Is Shea Butter?

Shea (pronounced shay) is the fat of a seed that comes from the Shea tree, predominantly found in East and West Africa. It has high concentrations of fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins with anti-inflammatory, healing and nourishing properties for skin.

Shea butter works like an emollient to seal in moisture. It helps soften and smooth dry, cracked or irritated skin and can be helpful in treating skin concerns such as eczema.
