OUR WONDER INGREDIENT

Our skincare is based on Shea Butter, a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree. Shea Butter is naturally rich in vitamins A, E, and F, and offers UV protection (SPF of about 6 [1]), providing your skin with essential fatty acids and nutrients necessary for collagen production.

Moisturizing: The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in Shea Butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. It is often used to remedy dry skin and to help protect your skin’s natural oils.



Reduces Inflammation: A 2018 study [2] found that due to its Cinnamic Acid and other natural properties, Shea Butter acts as an anti-inflammatory. One compound in particular, Lupeol Cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation, and may potentially help to 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.
