Benefits of shea butter.

Updated: Dec 29, 2023



If you’re looking for a natural ingredient with tons of skin benefits to include in your skin care routine, you’re in the right place. Shea butter is very popular in the beauty industry due to its ability to deeply hydrate, moisturise and soften the skin.


What is shea butter?

Before we get into shea butter benefits for skin, it's important to understand what shea butter is and where it comes from.


Shea butter is 100% natural, it is the fat that is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. It is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, and has been used for centuries for its moisturising and healing properties.

We use organic unrefined raw shea butter, this means it hasn't undergone any chemical refining process or extraction and it's in its most natural form. Meaning it still contains all of its natural vitamins that help to nourish the skin. A thick and creamy butter that’s highly emollient and is especially good at penetrating the skin. Shea butter is solid in cool temperatures and when exposed to heat, it melts easily.


Shea butter is commonly used in skincare products, hair care products, and as a natural remedy for dry skin, eczema, and other skin conditions.




Skin benefits.

Shea butter has multiple skin benefits, including:

● Moisturising and nourishing.

● Reducing inflammation.

● Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

● Improving skin elasticity.

● Anti-aging.

● Anti-inflammatory.

● Calms irritated skin.

● Soothing and healing skin.

● Aids in fighting acne.

● Hydrates dry lips.

● Reduces stretch marks.

● Natural SPF.


Making it a great natural ingredient for skincare products. Additionally, shea butter is gentle enough for most skin types and is easily absorbed into the skin.


Overall, it is a great natural ingredient that can improve the health and appearance of your skin. Which is why you'll find shea butter in several of our products including our soaps, body butters, deodorant balms, lip butter and our luxurious bath truffles.
