Benefits of unrefined shea butter
Shea butter is just beginning to gain popularity for its considerable health and beauty benefits in western countries, though it has been used for thousands of years by Africans. It has been used to help heal burns, sores, scars, dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, and stretch marks. The moisturizers in shea butter are the same as those secreted naturally in our bodies by the sebaceous glands. It may also help minimize wrinkles by moisturizing the skin, promoting cell renewal and increasing circulation. Shea nut butter is particularly high in fatty acids which skin and hair use to retain moisture and elasticity. It contains Vitamins A and E and has demonstrated both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Shea butter also contains Vitamin F, a protectant for damaged skin and hair, as well as cinnamic acid~ a substance that helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays.
