Shea It Aint So????

A lot of people wonder why I chose to use shea butter as a base for my body butters. Personally I love the way it feels, there is no other part of the earth that does my hair skin and nails like shea butter. It heals as well as moisturizes and because shea butter alone can tend to be a little hard, I used extra oils like organic coconut oil, cocoa butter, apricot oil, safflower oil, almond oil, organic jojoba oil, and vitamin e oil to whip up an make a soft application.

Shea butter is used as a base for medicinal ointments and has been claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties. It has been claimed internationally to be an effective treatment for the following conditions:

• Heals blemishes and keeps wrinkles at bay

• Excellent skin moisturizer

• Reduces itchiness caused due to excessive dryness of the skin

• Cures minor burns and tough skin on feet

• Evens out skin tone

• Offers sun and wind protection

• Restores elasticity to the skin

• Restores lost hair luster

• Eliminates scalp irritation caused due to chemical processing
