Shea Butter
Shea butter is a natural source of Vitamins A, E, and F. These nutrients help moisturize the skin and keep it healthy. Studies show that it helps treat dry skin, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and psoriasis.
It also works well as a hair treatment. You can use it to manage dry hair, dandruff, split ends, and even hair loss.
You can also apply shea butter as a lip balm. It protects your skin from the elements and treats blemishes and other skin conditions.
Price range: $9.99 through $130.00
The majority of companies mold their butter into beautiful loaves. To achieve this, they significantly heat their raw unrefined ivory shea butter after receiving it from manufacturers. They melt it completely, reaching temperatures of at least 180°F, to prevent a grainy texture. Unfortunately, this heating process can reduce its beneficial properties. Minimal processing helps retain more of the butter’s natural nutrients.
After we receive our butter from Africa, we avoid additional melting. Instead, we hand-cut the raw unrefined ivory shea butter to preserve its natural quality and effectiveness. The most important question to ask is how your shea butter was processed, as processing methods can greatly affect its quality.
