What is Shea Butter?

A traditional skin protection product from Central Africa, Shea Butter is being discovered by new users around the globe. In the arid savanna that is characteristic of many African nations, it has long been used as a protective mantel from the damaging rays of the sun. Extracted from the roasted pits of
the Magnifolia tree fruit, this creamy solid oil yields a rich butter that has highly effective healing and softening properties. Preparation of the pits includes par-boiling, roasting, and drawing off their oil. Once the resulting butter is refined and scented it can be used, year round, as a naturally protective skin care product.

The healing properties of Shea Butter stem from its innate components, without the need for chemical additives. Because it contains ascorbic and cinnamic acids, iron, vitamin B, protein, an calcium, Shea butter can serve as an anti-inflammatory agent for wounds, healer for burns, and preventer of scars and stretch marks. It is effective against eczema and can lessen the irritation of psoriasis. Valuable as a sun-screen, hair softener, and anti-wrinkle agent, Shea Butter is finding its way into beauty shops, spas, and massage parlors world wide. Women who have used it during pregnancy, find it to be an unbeatable product for baby care. This natural butter is absorbed quickly, has a greaseless after-feel, and an exceptionally long self-life.
