We were compelled to create this article in order to shed some light on the main advantages of Shea butter when used to renew the skin and combat Eczema. Before we get into it, let's go through what Shea Butter is.

 

What is Shea Butter?

Shea butter is a fatty substance that comes from the karite tree which grows in Western and Central Africa. It's part of the fat that they extract from the nuts that grow on this tree.

 

• it's moisturizing

• it's an anti-inflammatory

• it's rich in vitamins A, C, E

• has anti-microbial properties

• helps protect against UV rays

 

Which Type Of Shea Butter Is Best For Eczema?

There are many different types of shea butter products being sold on the market today. These types include raw shea butter, organic shea butter and unrefined shea butter.

 

Raw Shea Butter

Raw Shea Butter is made by removing the natural oils from the nut and then grinding it up into a paste. This type of product doesn't undergo any refining process to get rid of any animal fat, bacteria or other impurities. It's important to note that raw shea butter doesn't go through a process in which the natural oils are removed from the nut, leading to a very oily substance when applied to your skin.

Raw shea butter has many health benefits that other types don't have. One of the main benefits is that it contains niacin, riboflavin, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E, germanium and selenium.

 

Organic Shea Butter

Organic shea butter is made by going through a cleaning process and then adding in certified organic oils such as cupuacu and neem. These oils are added to the butter and then heated up enough to allow the different components to mix together. The finished product is all-natural and can be applied without worry about any type of harmful chemicals or preservatives.

 

Unrefined Shea Butter is The Best For Eczema

Unrefined Shea Butter is pasteurized in order to remove any harmful bacteria.  

 

Great For Eczema because it:

• Hydrates and moisturizes skin,

• Helps reduce redness.

Unrefined Shea butter is the healing ingredient in many lotions and creams because it conditions dry, sensitive or eczema-afflicted skin. The benefits don't stop there: it's also a natural UV protectant (safeguarding against sunburn) and provides anti-inflammatory relief for irritated patches of skin.

When Shea butter is unrefined it enhances pigmentation to fight scars, making it beneficial to use on stretch marks as well. Regular usage lessens signs of age such as wrinkles and crow's feet while fighting other aging signs such as age spots, fine lines and sagging skin tissue. Simply massage a small amount over your face everyday for rapid results!
