Shea Butter

Shea Butter is a true beauty ally for skin and hair thanks to the nutrients it is composed of: it is rich in fatty acids, phytosterols, vitamin A and vitamin E. 

Also called the plant of Eternal Youth, it is used in natural cosmetics thanks to its repairing, protective, nourishing, elasticising, hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.    To use Shea Butter, simply take a small amount, warm it in your hands and proceed with application. 

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Shea Butter can be used in the treatment of scars due to peeling, operations, cuts and burns; it is also a valid aid in the care of skin red and irritated by sunburn, erythema, flaking, dermatitis and eczema, because it soothes the redness of the skin; it also takes away the tingling caused by insect bites.    It can be used for the prevention and treatment of wrinkles, as it stimulates the formation of collagen and improves skin elasticity and is also an excellent protection against ultraviolet rays and reduces skin aging caused by the sun.    The presence of vitamins, fatty acids and minerals make Shea Butter suitable for deeply nourishing and hydrating skin and hair. 

Doing beauty treatments based on this product will allow you to have more elastic, toned and smooth skin and long-lasting shiny, hydrated and soft hair.    The notable emollient properties make it perfect to use instead of cocoa butter. 

In fact, it prevents dry and chapped lips after exposure to the sun, but also from the wind and winter cold. 

It can also be used for hands and feet with the same purpose. 

Always on the feet, it can be used to combat calluses. 

We can also use it to soothe pain after a burn, hydrate scars and reduce muscle pain simply by massaging it on the painful part.    It can also be used on hair: put on the ends before shampooing, it makes them soft and prevents breakage, thus preventing split ends. 

When the hair is dry it can be used instead of wax to fix curls or short hair.    Used as a moisturizer it is also useful after hair removal: if we use a razor we can use it to hydrate the skin and heal the small inevitable cuts caused by the blade. 

Similarly it can also be used by men for beards. 

The hydrating effect is useful for preventing stretch marks during pregnancy if used as a cream daily.
