Shea butter is an ivory or cream color fat derived from the nut of the African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Shea butter is an edible fat rich in vitamins A, D, E, and F and its numerous benefits date back to ancient times.

Benefits Of Shea Butter For Skin

Moisturizes Dry Skin

Shea butter is a highly effective moisturizer for all-over body care. Its biochemical properties mimic the characteristics found in the moisturizers released by our very own sebaceous glands. And, since it’s a naturally occurring lipid, it has natural emollient properties. That’s why shea butter is such a staple today in body lotions, body butters, lip balms, hand lotions, soaps, ointments, face creams, and eye creams.

Prevents Stretch Marks

Due to its vitamin E content, shea butter is excellent for preventing and/or diminishing pregnancy-related stretch marks. Applying shea butter all over your belly and hips liberally throughout your pregnancy (not just once you start showing) and post-delivery will keep your skin supple and increase its elasticity, thereby minimizing the appearance of stretch marks. It has been traditionally used for centuries by African women.

Treats Acne And Blemishes, And Reduces Scars

Shea butter is good at preventing as well as treating acne, including adult acne. It also helps lighten and reduce the appearance of redness and scarring associated with acne. If you use acne-related skincare products, chances are they contain retinol (vitamin A). Well, shea butter is naturally rich in vitamin A, so if it bothers you to use harsh chemicals for getting rid of your acne, shea butter offers a natural alternative with the same retinol-rich properties.

Provides Immediate Relief To Itchy And Peeling Skin

Shea butter contains alpha-amyrin acetate, a chemical compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It brings immediate relief to itchy skin, insect bites, rashes and related redness (including diaper rashes), and skin prone to peeling after sunburn.

Helps With Shaving

As a natural moisturizer, shea butter can help you attain a silky smooth shave. Using shea butter while shaving (for both men and women) can help reduce razor burns and bumps and allows the razor blade to glide close to the skin for an ultra-close shave. You can also use shea butter as an aftershave moisturizer for baby-butt smooth skin. For men who prefer facial hair, shea butter can also work as a highly effective beard balm. It also helps that shea butter has anti-inflammatory properties, helping soothe cuts and nicks.

Soothes Eczema And Dermatitis

Shea butter comes highly recommended for those who suffer from eczema and dermatitis. In fact, numerous products used to soothe eczema or dermatitis contain shea butter as a key ingredient. Because it’s laden with moisturizing agents including vitamins, regular use of shea butter can help reduce the dryness, itching, and scaliness associated with eczema or dermatitis.

Repairs Damaged Hair

Shea butter also works like a much-needed repair and rescue tonic for parched and damaged hair that’s been over-processed by hair color, salon treatments, and heat damage. Due to its fatty acid content, shea butter helps rejuvenate and replenish damaged hair to give you lustrous new locks.

Prevents Hair Loss

Shea butter can help promote hair growth and even prevent hair breakage and loss because it contains plant-derived phytonutrients. These nutrients protect your hair from harmful UV rays, harmful pollutants in the air, and even chlorine in swimming pools. Using shea butter masks regularly on your hair, in conjunction with other good-for-hair ingredients like coconut oil, castor oil, egg yolk, and honey will strengthen your hair and reduce breakage/loss.

More Healing Properties Of Shea Butter

Traditional medical systems of Africa have been using shea butter for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties for ages. It has been used traditionally to treat rheumatism, nasal inflammation, and nasal congestion. Modern science is now exploring all these areas with quite a bit of success. In fact, patents have been taken out in the United States for products that reduce symptoms of arthritis, lower cholesterol, and help treat diarrhea. Clinical tests also confirm that shea butter may be more effective than existing nasal drops to clear nasal congestion.

In Africa, shea butter is used for dozens of other benefits.

  • It is applied to a newborn baby’s umbilical cord stump to prevent infection.
  • It is used as an effective insect repellent against the troublesome Simuliam parasite.
  • In combination with lime, shea butter is used as an antiperspirant too!
  • The moisturizing properties of shea butter are also used to protect the paws and skin of animals, especially dogs, from the abrasive effects of sand and salt.
