Raw shea butter
It is the fat (butter) extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) native to West & Central Africa.
Raw shea butter Information
“Raw” or “unrefined” means minimal processing, so more of the naturally-occurring nutrients, fatty acids and phytochemicals are retained. Its composition is rich in fatty acids (oleic acid, stearic acid, etc.), vitamins A & E, cinnamic acid esters (anti-inflammatory) and other plant sterols. Because of this nutritive composition it has been used for centuries in African communities for skin care, hair care, food preparation, medicinal use.
Key Benefits of Raw shea butter
Deep moisturisation
The fatty acids in shea butter (oleic, stearic, etc.) help to form an occlusive/emollient layer on the skin, reducing water loss and helping dry/dehydrated skin.
Anti-inflammatory
Raw shea butter contains cinnamic acid esters and other phytochemicals which have shown anti-inflammatory effects.
Anti-ageing
Raw shea butter’s vitamin A & E content and fatty acid composition support collagen production, improve elasticity and reduce appearance of fine lines / rough skin texture.
Stretch marks, scars, and general skin
Some evidence (though less robust) that raw shea butter can support skin healing, fade scars/stretch marks, improve skin texture.
skin repair support
Raw shea butter’s vitamin A & E content and fatty acid composition support collagen production, improve elasticity and reduce appearance of fine lines / rough skin texture.
