Shea butter comes from the karite tree, or better known, shea tree. It is an oil-rich fat that helps moisturize skin. Shea butter gets absorbed into the skin as it heats up to body temperature. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which can help reduce inflammatory skin diseases. Our skin can take a lot of abuse from the sun, shea butter can help heal that damage and protect our skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Shea butter also contains vitamin A, and vitamin E, which also help with skin protection. Vitamin E helps to soothe dry skin and create better skin elasticity. If that isn't enough benefits, there are still more! Shea butter can help reduce stretch marks, can treat acne, help with anti-aging, provide relief from dry, itchy skin, and can help with those irritating razor bumps.
That's enough benefits for me to chose shea butter on my skin every day!
