    Shea butter comes from the nuts of Karite trees, native to Africa. This pleasant-smelling skin care ingredient contains various nutrients like fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Thanks to its nourishing properties, it forms an important part of many beauty formulations for skin and hair, as well as other health purposes. Here are 6 great benefits of organic shea butter for skin and hair.

    Shea Butter For Skin

    1. Deep Moisturisation

    One of the most well-known benefits of shea butter is that it moisturises the skin rather well. It’s an excellent winter skin care ingredient. Raw shea butter contains loads of fatty acids. And so, it rehydrates and smoothens dry skin exceptionally fast – you can see a difference in just a matter of a week. As soon as you notice your skin drying up, rub some raw shea butter onto it everyday.

    2. Soothes Irritation

    Next on the list of shea butter benefits for skin is that it soothes irritation. This ingredient has been found fight inflammation, heal wounds, stings and rashes, as well as treats burns. It’s also great for relieving pain in the joints and muscles. It combines well with other herbs like rosemary and lavender to create healing skin tonics. Another herb that soothes skin wonderfully is aloe Vera.

    3. Heals Dry Lips

    Given its immensely hydrating qualities, shea butter makes a wonderful lip balm. It seeps into dried lips and supplies the skin with moisture as well as nutrients like vitamin E that speed up skin repair. The next time you’re choosing lip balms, look for one with organic shea butter. Massage it  well on your lips a few times a day.

    4. Protects Against Sun Damage

    If you tend to go out in the Sun a lot, you might need more than just store-bought sunscreens. Add shea butter to your daily skin care routine for added protection from the Sun’s UV rays. Shea butter fights inflammation too, making it a reliable ingredient. Simply apply some of it on your skin before putting on your sunscreen.

    5. Reduces Signs Of Ageing

    Next among the shea butter for skin benefits is anti ageing. This is not very surprising, since this lovely butter is abundant in fatty acids and antioxidants – two things your skin needs more and more of as you get older. Shea butter boosts collagen levels, the rate of skin repair, and firmness. On the other hand, it lowers inflammation, scars, fine lines, and wrinkles too. In a matter of months, shea butter is believed to show quite a difference. Apply shea butter balm onto your skin everyday.

    6. Treats Dandruff

    Last up is dandruff. Being an outstanding moisturiser, shea butter treats dry scalp, a common cause and aggravator of dandruff. It nourishes the scalp with vitamins that promote faster healing. There are other benefits too: shea butter reduces frizz and can protect the scalp from Sun damage. Massage your scalp with shea butter oil once a week.
