Did you know that shea butter not only moisturises but also soothes the skin?
Shea butter is one of the best-known natural skincare ingredients - and for good reason! Because of its rich texture and deeply nourishing properties, many people know it primarily as a moisturizer, but it actually does much more than that.
Hydration at its best
Shea butter is rich in vitamins A, E and F, as well as fatty acids that help strengthen the skin's natural protective barrier. It penetrates deep into the skin without clogging pores - making it an ideal choice for dry, dehydrated or flaky skin. After use, skin is left soft, supple and hydrated for long periods.
Soothes the skin - naturally
The anti-inflammatory effect of shea butter is also remarkable. It can soothe irritation, relieve redness and help relieve itchy, drawn-out sensations. It's particularly useful for sensitive skin, or if you've just got a sunburn, reddened skin or skin that tightens after shaving.
One component, versatile solution
Shea butter is made from the fruit of the African shea tree and has been used for centuries to treat wounds, skin inflammations and even sunburn. It is now a globally recognised ingredient in natural cosmetics, precisely because it is gentle yet effective for all skin types.
It can also be used as a face cream, hand cream, body lotion or even lip balm. Our Our Shea butter face cream for example, has been specially formulated to provide extra gentle care for sensitive skin: it moisturises, softens and helps regenerate - all without irritation. It's an equal favourite with Our Shea Butter Hand Cream, which absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy feeling, but provides long-lasting comfort even for dry, stressed hands.
It's for you if you...
Shea butter can be particularly useful for you if:
- you have sensitive or frequently irritated skin
- you are often exposed to cold, wind or dry air
- you are looking for natural, minimalist but effective ingredients
- you want to reduce the number of substances used on your skin, but not at the expense of the effect
Experience the natural power of shea butter when your skin is thirsty for both hydration and soothing!
