People that know Victorianaturals brand’s story would of course understand that I am a very big fan of Shea butter because the journey started after having a life-changing experience with it (Shea butter). I suffered from terrible dry and itchy skin due to the winter weather after I moved to the United States and tried everything I could find in the market but nothing worked. One day, I decided to try the combination of organic Shea butter and organic Jojoba oil, then I experienced something magical—it worked! I am not planning to look back!
What is Shea Butter?
Shea butter is a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree and that is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. It offers UV protection (it is SPF ~6) and provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production. Shea butter has been used in Africa and many other countries and by people of different colors for years to improve skin and hair. Many bath and body companies incorporate Shea butter into the recipes of their skin and hair care products.
Benefits of Shea Butter
- Moisturizing: The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter makes it incredibly and moisturizing for skin (No wonder it helped with my dry and itchy skin issues many years back). It is often used as remedy for dry skin and to help protect the skin’s natural oils.
- Reduces Inflammation: A 2010 study found that due to its cinnamic acid and other natural properties, shea butter was anti-inflammatory. One compound in particular, lupeol cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation and even potentially help avoid skin mutations. This also makes it beneficial for some people with acne.
- Skin Smoothing: Shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. With long-term use, many people report skin softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction
