What’s so special about Shea Butter? Shea butter is naturally hypoallergenic and is known to be beneficial in skin cell regeneration. It works well in healing dry skin because it actually penetrates the skin and is absorbed by it, rather than just sitting on the surface like many other oils. A small amount will absorb completely in a few minutes leaving your skin feeling soft and genuinely nourished. To use, warm a small amount in the palm of your hand and smooth unto rough feet, dry hands, elbows or any area that needs extra hydration. Shea Butter may also be applied to hair after shampooing as a deep conditioner or used daily as a pomade or “loc” aid.
