Butter is a staple ingredient in most recipes, as it is filled with vitamins that are beneficial to maintaining and boosting our health. What a lot of us don’t know is that there is a specific kind that is mainly used for creating cosmetic formulations: Shea Butter.

Meanwhile, those used for skincare products have been prepared by cold press methods without any added preservatives. And unlike other natural oils, Shea Butter has a very large healing and moisturizing capacity, making it such a great agent in treating skin conditions like blemishes, wrinkles, itching, sunburns, wounds, eczema, allergies and insect bites.
