Raw Shea butter

Shea Butter has incredible moisturizing properties, especially for those with dry skin, and works as an emollient. Shea butter also helps reduce the signs of aging and combats stretch marks. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial substance. It even blocks UV rays with an SPF of between 3-4

Shea butter is typically used for its moisturizing effects. These benefits are tied to shea’s fatty acid content, including linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids.

When you apply shea topically, these oils are rapidly absorbed into your skin. They act as a “refatting” agent, restoring lipids and rapidly creating moisture.

This restores the barrier between your skin and the outside environment, holding moisture in and reducing your risk of dryness.
