The Benefits of Shea Butter

Shea Butter is extracted from the nuts of the Shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii), which grows wildly in the savanna of Western Africa.
Key benefits include:
- Naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F that provide nourishing properties to the skin.
- Contains oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying which can also aid in the skin’s natural collagen production.
- Contains several derivatives of cinnamic acid that is high in anti-inflammatory properties.
