Benefits of shea butter

Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African shea tree and is one of the most diverse natural ingredients in the beauty world. Known for its nourishing properties, shea butter treats both oily and dry skin by creating a smooth and soft barrier that locks in moisture. It is also ideal to use as a daily moisturizer, as well as a specialty treatment for eczema, chapped lips, razor burn and even diaper rash.

But that's not all this wonderful ingredient can do. Organic shea butter can also be effective as an anti-inflammatory to soothe redness or swelling. It can also stimulate the production of collagen in the fight against fine lines and wrinkles.
