Question. What are the benefits of shea butter?
-
Answer:
- Moisturizing– Shea butter contains high levels of linoleic acid and oleic acid. These two acids balance each other out. That means shea butter is easy for your skin to fully absorb, keeping the skin moist without making your skin look oily.
- Anti-inflammatory– The plant esters of shea butter have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. This may help minimize irritation caused by environmental factors, such as dry weather, as well as inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema.
- Anti fungal–While shea butter may not be able to treat every kind of fungal infection, we know that it kills spores of the fungi that causes ringworm and athlete’s foot.
- Other benefits include:- Helps the appearance of scars, helps treat hair breakage and dandruff, may soothe sunburn,insect bites and wound healing.

Question. What is Shea Butter?
-
Answer:
Shea butter is fat that’s extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. It’s solid at warm temperatures and has an off-white or ivory color. Shea trees are native to West Africa, and most shea butter still comes from that region.
Shea butter has been used as a cosmetic ingredient for centuries. Its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids — combined with its easy-to-spread consistency — make it a great product for smoothing, soothing, and conditioning your skin.
