Found only in the continent of Africa, Shea Butter has been used for centuries to care for the skin.  Shea Butter provides many benefits for the skin including relief from dry, chapped skin & scalp as well as the treatment of minor skin burns, diaper rash, minor eczema, and other minor skin irritations.

Shea Butter contains beneficial Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin F.  Rich in Vitamins A, C and F, Shea Butter helps prevent acne, premature wrinkles and aids the skin by providing protection from the sun in the summer months and from the wind in the colder, winter months.

There is much to be said about Shea Butter.  It is truly one of nature’s most precious resources and provides substantial benefits for the skin.  In addition to the above mentioned benefits, Shea Butter also helps to reduce blemishes and scarring and helps to prevent stretch marks in pregnant women.
