Why I'm obsessed with Shea Butter!
Shea Butter works as an emollient that softens and hydrates the skin because it contains several types of fatty acids that improve the skin's natural barrier, Shea butter also protects skin from damage from the environment like pollutants. It may also help heal inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, itchy Inflamed skin, and soothe sunburns. It's also a known antioxidant powerhouse, including vitamins A and E. Antioxidants allow the skin to repair itself and correct visible damage vital for youthful skin. Also, the rich fatty acids may help soften scar tissue and speed up the scar-healing process.
But here's the best part: I only use sustainably sourced Shea Butter produced in Ghana by a local Women's Cooperative. The Shea Nuts are collected after having fallen from the wild trees in the remote areas of Ghana and then processed (cleaned, husked, roasted, dried, cooked, boiled, separated, etc...). Crafting an unrefined, raw, natural Shea Butter with a smoky, nutty, and oily odor.
It's fair-trade, animal friendly, organically sourced, Preservative Free, Artificial Color Free, Additive Free, Chemical Free and, Pesticide Free. It's also free from Bleach, Deodorizer, and solvents. Pure goodness for your skin!
You will find that many of my products contain Shea Butter including my whipped lavender body butter, my chamomile hand repair cream, my lavender body balm, and it's even in most of my cold process soap recipes!
If you appreciate and look for clean and pure products for your skin, without chemicals or preservatives- this is for you!
