Benefits:

• Relieves dry skin:  Shea butter contains fatty acids. They lubricate the skin and create a barrier that keeps moisture in. 

• Eases irritation: Shea butter contains anti-inflammatory substances, which ease swelling and redness in skin. Use it for any irritation, from sunburns to chapped lips to skin that’s reacting to too many acid peels or scrubs.

• Prevents cell damage:  Shea butter contains two antioxidants that promote anti-aging:

  Vitamin A “Vitamin A is crucial for skin health,” says Dr. Vij. “Since the 1970s, we’ve used retinoids — synthetic forms of vitamin A — to firm skin and reduce wrinkles.”

  It works by increasing the skin-cell turnover rate, smoothing the skin’s surface. It also plumps skin by stimulating the production of collagen, the framework that keeps your skin from sagging.

  Vitamin E: Shea butter has a lot of vitamin E.  The majority of it is alpha-tocopherol (one of eight forms of vitamin E), which has the highest antioxidant activity. Vitamin E helps skin by preventing cellular damage and boosting moisture. 

• Improves eczema:  Eczema is a common skin condition that causes itchy, red rashes. It also makes you prone to skin infections.  One study found that shea butter was better at reducing eczema symptoms than petroleum products, which doctors often recommend. This may be because shea butter contains linoleic acid, a fatty acid that’s in skin. Research indicates that linoleic acid plays a crucial role in protecting skin and can significantly reduce eczema symptoms.

  “It’s essential for people with eczema to keep their skin moist and protected,” says Dr. Vij. “Shea butter can be a good option for many folks.”

• Provides sun protection:  Shea butter has a sun protection factor (SPF) of about three or four. It’s Combine it with others sun protectors for maximum benefit.  

• Doesn’t cause allergic reactions:  Shea butter is safe for people with nut allergies. Allergens are proteins. While shea butter does come from nuts, it’s made entirely of fat, so it’s allergen-free.

• Regular Use:  Helps skin retain moisture, which makes it soft and smooth. Since it’s loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, it may also keep your skin supple.
