Are bodybutters underrated? sheabutter to the rescue
I think it is time I write a new blog on my beloved Sheabutter. Following on from the many conversations I've had recently, it was not lost on me that many still view sheabutter as an underrated skincare remedy. I know I am biased but hear me out.
Sheabutter is so versatile and has a myriad of benefits. I am talking about the real deal here: unrefined raw and natural sheabutter derived and processed traditionally (usually by women) from sheanut trees that grows predominantly in western sub-saharan Africa. The 'real' sheabutter with no chemical alterations that strip it of its amazing benefits.
As an emollient, sheabutter traps in moisture, protects the skin barrier, can soothe tired, flaky dry skin and give your skin a smooth nourished feeling. Those with eczema prone, dry, or mature skin can certainly benefit from a little help with this deeply emollient rich sheabutter. Chapped dry lips drink in our protective and nourishing lip balms made with sheabutter and sweet almond oil for instance...
As a mild anti-bacterial, anti- fungal, sheabutter can deeply moisturise whilst used as a salve or balm to treat mild scratches, calm redness and for massaging the skin to reduce aches and pains.
As an incredible skincare ingredient, it has essential fatty acids such as steric acid; oleic acid; palmitic acid, with natural chemical structures that when formulated and combined with the right oils, waxes, and plant hydrosols can be inadvertently potent in its benefits.
As a skincare enthusiast and enterpreneur, my deep passion for all things sheabutter has culminated in creating natural and organic skincare products that can work with any skin types in all weather conditions. Our guarantee is that we bring you the best quality sheabutter bodybutters that enhance the skin health all year round. Our skin is the largest organ in the body, an entry point and deposit for the environment and what we eat, so why should we underrate or under estimate the amazing benefits of the humble sheabutter??
With Sheabutter love,
