Deeply Moisturising:
Due to its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids, shea butter is included in many body care products. It makes it the perfect ingredient for soothing, hydrating and conditioning the skin. One of the main benefits of using shea butter is how rich and moisturising it is.

Typically, moisturisers contain a variety of agents that produce the beneficial elements of the product. Often found in moisturisers are:

Emollients – Moisturising treatments that cover the skin with a protective film to entrap moisture.
Humectants – Ingredients that attract hydration and retain moisture.
Occlusives – Moisturising agents that create a barrier to prevent moisture loss.

Did you know that our shea butter contains all 3 of these elements along with a range of nourishing oils?

Once applied to the skin, it absorbs quickly, the properties of the shea butter helping to strengthen the skins barrier to lock in moisture.

Refined shea butter is made during a heating process. During this process, it is not rare for preservatives to be added. As a result, this usually removes the goodness that may be found in raw shea butter. Nonetheless, refined shea butter is still a valuable product.

Cosmetically, it is made more suitable to be applied directly onto the skin. Refined shea butter is highly recommended for use within skincare products. Shea butter benefits for skin go beyond using it in its raw form, and these benefits can be wielded in several ways.

Additionally, whipped shea butter has become a versatile and easy to make form of shea butter. A light, creamy and fluffy version, making it easily absorbable. Many turn to whipped shea butter as a hair conditioner and moisturiser.

No matter what form it is in, shea butter benefits us all in a matter of ways.
