About the product

What it is?

Shea butter is extracted from the kernels of the shea tree's fruit that grows wild in the sub-Saharan areas. The superbly moisturizing properties of the nut have protected the skin and hair of the people from the burning sun. Now, it forms a vital source of empowerment for the women of the areas, as they collect the kernels, process them traditionally, and export them across the globe. A butter is an oil that is solid at room temperature. Most body butter on the market is technically not since they contain water. True butters are anhydrous. Containing no water, this also means they don’t need emulsifiers (which you would otherwise use to make oil and water mix). There are two types of shea butter - refined and unrefined.

Ingredients

Shea butter extract contains oleic acid (40–60%), stearic acid (20–50%), linoleic acid (3–11%), palmitic acid (2–9%), linolenic acid (<1%), and arachidic acid (<1%).[10]. It also contains vitamins A, E, and F.

Oleic Acid

Oleic acid calms, balances, and repairs the skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties proven to stimulate wound healing, making it very useful for conditions like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. Oils and butter high in oleic acid are found to be the best at repairing and protecting the natural skin barrier. (Vaughn, 2018)(Poljšak, 2020)

Stearic Acid

Stearic acid is an emollient and lubricant that softens skin. It protects the skin's surface against water loss, fortifies its protective barrier, and has texture-enhancing properties. It is a natural emulsifier, which is useful when making products because it prevents them from separating.

Palmitic Acid

Again, moisturizing.

Linoleic Acid

Also known as Vitamin F, an omega-6 chain fatty acid is one of two essential acids in shea. Essential acids are components the body cannot make naturally, so they must be ingested to enter the bloody system. They are significant for skin health, especially for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

When used topically, Linoleic acid moisturizes and “plumps” the skin without weighing it down. Fortifying and protecting its barrier, it fends off UV rays and air pollutants like smoke. However, we should stress that it does not offer SPF protection.

How to use

Recommended Usage Of She Butter

Predominantly, shea butter is used for its moisturizing and protective qualities. It locks in moisture and smoothes the skin surface. It is beautiful for chapped, dry, sore complexions where the skin has become ragged. In addition, it is excellent for hair that has gone dry and frizzy.

Creams rich in shea butter are lovely for chapped skin and cracked heels.

It also makes a beautiful conditioner for dry, frizzy, and damaged hair.

It melts at body temperature, instantly absorbing into the skin, adding valuable lipids to cell structure.

If we think of skin cells as building bricks that are held together with mortar, that mortar is lipids - better known as fats. When the lipids break down, the skin becomes brittle and flaky.

Shea Butter is excellent for soaps, lotions, and creams.
