17 Wonderful Uses And Benefits of Pure Natural Shea Butter

I started using shea butter a few years ago. I did not know there is a natural moisturizer out there from Mother Nature that could be used for so many things!

Pure Natural Shea butter

My first use of shea butter was as a result of bumps. Shaving and waxing bumps!  Ever since, I have been using shea butter. In fact, I’m in love with it!  No apologies here hence I secured marketing right from a company reputed as one of the world producers of pure natural shea butter.

So what is this- shea butter?

Well, shea butter is from Mother Nature. Shea butter is got from the karate tree grown predominantly in West (Nigeria, Ghana inclusive) and East Africa.

It is yellowish in colour, like light butter and it is high in fatty acids with natural anti-oxidant compounds.

What are the uses and benefits?

Having given the benefits, it’s important you use the real pure and natural shea butter to achieve these results. There are a lot of things and products out there claiming to be pure and natural shea butter, I tell you, some of them have been refined; hence most of the active ingredients present in the natural shea butter have been removed.

Locally, some of them are actually mixed with animal fats which give a very awful smell. So be careful on what you buy and get as natural shea butter. However, if you are interested in the real one and on how to use it for your face and body to achieve great results then, contact me.
