The Moisturizing Power of Shea Butter

Shea oil and butter both originate from the shea nut trees of West Africa. These trees are scattered throughout the wooded savanna and their nuts have been used for centuries to create the intensively moisturising formula of shea butter. This practice has become a fundamental part of the economy in some of the poorest areas and helped to sustain the communities that live there. It is usually prepared without the use of chemicals or preservatives using cold press methods.

Both shea oil and shea butter offer wonderful benefits for a rejuvenated look of skin, but their difference in texture makes them unique. With its thinner consistency, shea oil softens the skin, whilst shea butter locks in moisture.
