Shea Butter

in BEAUTY GUIDE

The Shield for Thirsty Skin: Shea butter is the quintessential African remedy for extreme dryness. Its butter forms a protective film that locks in moisture without suffocating the skin. Women have used it for generations on the most damaged areas of the body—where no conventional cream suffices.

How to use it

Take a small amount, warm it between your palms. Apply to the affected areas in the evening. Put on socks for your heels. For lips, use a dab as a night balm.

Did you know that?

Raw shea butter has a slightly smoky scent—a sign that it hasn't been refined. White, odorless shea butter is often depleted of its beneficial properties.

1- Can it be used on the face?

Yes, but be careful. It's very rich and can clog pores on combination/oily skin. Ideal for very dry skin only, applied as a thin layer at night.

2- Raw vs. refined shea butter?

Always choose raw shea butter (yellow/beige with a scent). Refined shea butter (white, without scent) has lost a large part of its vitamins.

3- Are there any allergy risks or contraindications?

Shea butter may contain natural traces of latex, which can be a problem for people allergic to latex.
Possible reactions include redness, itching, irritation or rashes after application.
It is advisable to perform a skin test on a small area 24 hours before first use, especially in the case of very sensitive skin or latex allergy.
