From the tree to you, natural Shea butter with Mango or Cocoa butters added will help make caring for your African American skin so much easier. Shea butter has been a big part of African American’s skin care ingredient list for years. When combined with other natural moisturizers like cocoa butter and mango butter, shea butter will maximize its moisturizing efficacy.
If you want to make Shea butter a part of caring for your black skin in your household, be aware of some so-called “Shea butter” products that are sold to take care of black skin. They have many other ingredients, with Shea butter listed near the bottom of the ingredients list. Make sure that most of the butter you buy is Shea butter, it should be listed as one of the top five ingredients.
Shea butter has a reputation that is well-earned as a moisturizer for dry skin. It’s not really a new product, even though we haven’t been exposed to it for very long. Shea butter is actually a fat derived from the nut of the karite tree. This tree grows only in Africa and the people who live there have used the nut’s oils as part of their black skin care routine for many years.
Do you know one of the best things about Shea butter? You can lavish your skin with it and when you’re done, your skin will have a smooth, soft and luxurious feeling.
It’s just more recently making its way to America as an African American skin care product, and a moisturizer for all skin shades and types. In Africa, the nut is also used for healthy hair and for cooking.
Now, we can’t help you with the cooking part, but we can provide you with a fabulous Tropical Hair Butter that will leave your beautiful African American hair feeling as soft as silk and a line of Body Butter moisturizers that will give your skin a youthful glow and leave it feeling soft as a baby’s bottom.
