Shea Butter

100 % Pure Organic Shea Butter
Organic shea butter is extracted from the kernel of the karite tree, which is located throughout African savannahs. It is extracted using traditional extraction methods without the use of hexane, chemical pesticides, or preservatives. Shea butter which has been bleached, and refined with various chemicals such as hexane, fillers, and preservatives lacks many of the vital nutrients, phytochemicals and superb and powerful healing fraction of 100 % Pure Organic Shea Butter.
Soothing and Protecting
Shea butter has soothing, moisturizing and protecting effects. Due to the presence of a sizeable quantity of unsaponifiable fats, its content in vitamins and other active elements, shea butter adds other more precise activities to these general properties.

It displays a protecting role against UV rays because of its content in cinnamic acid and can thus be incorporated in solar products. The natural latex contained in shea butter would moreover prevent certain sun allergies.
Shea butter also helps cell regeneration and capillary circulation. This favours the healing of small wounds, skin cracks and crevices, and skin ulcers.

Shea butter can also be used to treat rheumatism and aching muscles, and to ease colds because it decongests nasal mucous tissues. It is very well tolerated by the skin for it does not normally trigger any allergic reaction and can even be used on very sensitive skin areas such as around the eyes.

In the cosmetic field, this property is an asset against skin aging. It has restructuring effects on the epidermis, also on dry and fragile hair. Dry skin, dermatitis, dermatoses, eczema, sun burn, and burns are all helped by natural shea butter. It has an anti-elastase characteristic which makes it a good active ingredient against stretch marks.

Remarkable Properties
Healing Fraction (Nonsaponifiable Fraction)
This is what sets organic shea butter apart from other oils. Nonsaponifiable means that the shea butter can not be decomposed into an acid, alcohol, or salt which makes it very beneficial for the skin. Other oils, such as avocado and coconut oils are often used in skincare for their hydrating and softening abilities because they have relatively high amounts of nonsaponifiables. However, organic shea butter has a higher amount of nonsaponifiables than any other oil used in cosmetics. This high healing fraction is responsible for shea butter's ability to spread evenly and absorb almost instantly into skin. Because of its high healing or nonsaponifiable fraction, regular use of pure organic shea butter can be helpful with the following skin conditions:

1. Treatment of dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and minor burns.
2. Pain relief from swelling and arthritis.
3. Improves muscle relaxation and stiffness.
4. Sunscreen, due to its rich content of vitamins E&F.
5. Treats dark spots, skin discolorations, stretch marks, sunburn, wrinkles and blemishes.
6. Massages, diaper rash, and as a hair conditioner.
7. Lip balm, hand cream, organic skin cream, medicinal soaps, vetenary compound.
8. Itchy skin treatment, blotchy skin treatment, wrinkled skin treament.
9. Acne skin treatment, new skin scar treatment, dark skin spot treatment.
10. Food additives (chocolate etc.), baby lotion etc.
11. Small skin wounds, allergic reactions and frostbite.
