Description

Shea butter, a luxurious natural fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree, stands as a beacon of nourishment for the skin. Renowned for its rich consistency and moisturizing prowess, it deeply hydrates the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and supple. Its high concentrations of vitamins A and E not only moisturize but also protect the skin against the harsh realities of environmental damage, aiding in the prevention of fine lines and wrinkles. Shea butter's anti-inflammatory properties make it a soothing salve for irritated and blemished skin, promoting a healthy, glowing complexion. Beyond moisturizing, it strengthens skin by stimulating the production of collagen, making it a cornerstone ingredient for enhancing skin resilience and elasticity. Embrace the natural elegance and profound benefits of shea butter to unveil a radiant, youthful skin that feels as good as it looks.

Vitamin A in Shea Butter is important for improving a number of skin conditions. Shea Butter’s unparalleled moisturizing property is due to several natural moisturisers present in the cream.  The moisturisers in Shea Butter are the same moisturisers produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin, it’s no wonder that Shea Butter is such a superior moisturiser.
Shea Butter
Shea butter, also known as karite butter, is a cream-colored fatty substance made from the nuts of karite nut trees (also called Mangifolia trees) that grow in the savannah regions of West and Central Africa. Karite trees, or shea trees, are not cultivated. They grow only in the wild, and can take up to 50 years to mature (they live up to 300 years!). In most parts of West Africa, destruction of the shea tree is prohibited because this little nut provides a valuable source of food, medicine, and income for the population. In fact, shea butter is sometimes referred to as “women’s gold” in Africa, because so many women are employed in the production of shea butter. 
Why is shea butter in such demand? Western countries are just beginning to recognize the considerable health and beauty benefits of shea butter, something Africans have known for thousands of years. Shea butter has been used to help heal burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, and stretch marks. It may also help diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin, promoting cell renewal, and increasing circulation. Shea butter also contains cinnamic acid, a substance that helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays. 
Shea butter is a particularly effective moisturizer because contains so many fatty acids, which are needed to retain skin moisture and elasticity. The high fatty acid content of shea butter also makes it an excellent additive to soap, shampoos, anti-aging creams, cosmetics, lotions, and massage oils—its soft, butter-like texture melts readily into the skin. 
Shea butter protects the skin from both environmental and free-radical damage. It contains vitamins A and E, and has demonstrated both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. 
Unrefined shea butter is superior in that it retains all its natural vitamins, especially vitamin A and vitamin E.

I love this Shea Butter (unrefined). It is the best cream for my face and I use it every day. My skin is looking a lot better since I started using it. It hydrates my skin well and for a long time.

Honestly I have only used what I thought was shea once before so I was not too sure what to expect. The products are really buttery, absorb well into the skin and I am understanding more about it's benifits.

It's so nice to find a product that is completely pure. This unrefined organic shea butter is just wonderful. I am a returning customer, partly due to the fabulous shea butter, and partly to be able to communicate directly with a human, (no 'chat bots' here!), with swift responses from Mo, and trackable Royal Mail delivery. Fabulous customer service and wonderful products. Thank you!

I saw this at the Newbury market that’s held at the end of each month, however I couldn’t buy some as I was working! Boy am I glad I bought this. Makes my skin feel soft and glowy, and my eczema has nearly cleared up on my knees and elbows. Excellent stuff!

I love the natural smell of this Shea Butter, and the fact that it is totally natural and free from any additives. It feels lovely and nourishing on my skin, and is the best Shea Butter by far that I have found. I've been buying this for a while now, and I hope this product continues to be available. I even find the little pots useful for other things once empty :-)

The Shea butter is brilliant for your skin, especially the drier areas. It's great as a hand cream & lip balm and also if your skin is feeling irritated or sore.

First time using the Shea Butter, it leaves the skin feeling smooth but it is a little hard/stiff on application but softens once you rub it in

I use shea butter when I am pregnant it is fantastic for use as a tummy butter, I used it during my first pregnancy & I have no stretch marks, I am expecting my second child & I am currently using it again, I cover my tummy with it every night as my tummy expands & my skin stretches. Lots of other products in the shops claim to be Shea butter but have so many other added chemicals & perfumes that are not healthy for your skin, this is by far a superior product & I would definitely recommend for use in pregnancy

I'm a long time user of this shea butter. It's the perfect facial moisturiser and acts as the perfect primer for mineral foundation. It also mixes with other ingredients to make and eco antiperspirant, plus cares for your new tattoos. Very versatile.

Great quality and great value. Fantastic for my aging skin and dry feet! I first bought this at a vegan festival in Birmingham and have bought it since. Other shea butter (more expensive and dubiously sourced) products supplied by big companies do not compete. Highly recommended.

This is my second purchase of this product. I was worried at first that it would sit too heavily on my face but it is amazing stuff. I only use a teeny tiny bit, rub it on my fingers and then all over my face. Then, I go and get dressed and that gives it some time to absorb before I apply my mineral foundation. I have tried many foundation primers before and this beats them all hands down. Not only does this shea butter soften my skin but it works as the perfect primer. My makeup looks smooth and it lasts all day. I highly recommend this product.
