Shea butter has been used to help heal severely dry skin, burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, and stretch marks. It may also help diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin, promoting cell renewal, and increasing circulation. Shea butter also contains cinnamic acid, a substance that helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays. 

Shea Butter is a natural plant extract derived from the nut of the Karite tree, which grows wild throughout the savannah regions of West Africa.  The name Karite means tree of life and for centuries, the peoples of Africa have used the shea nut for food and medicine.  Find a shop like The Bath Fairy Shop who carries raw, unrefined grade A Shea Butter which is the purest butter on the market. Unrefined means that the butter is in it’s most natural state containing all its fatty acids and vitamins, and has not been exposed to harsh chemicals which are sometimes used during the refining process.

Using natural Shea Butter can relieve severely dry skin especially during the winter months without the use of harsh chemicals.
