Benefits Of Shea Butter 

• Shea butter is rich in different kinds of fatty acids. This unique build helps clear the skin of excess oil (sebum). It restores the natural balance of oils in the skin and makes it great for controlling oily skin and treating acne.
• Antioxidant. Shea butter is high in vitamins A and E, which protects the skin cells from free radicals that can cause dull-looking skin and premature ageing.
• Shea butter serves as a great moisturiser. Shea butter restores and locks in moisture so the skin doesn't feel dry and stripped. This also causes it to reduce the risk of dryness.
• Anti-inflammatory. Shea butter slows the process of inflammation by using cells like cytokines to minimise its effects. This reduces irritation caused by hot weather and skin dryness as well as inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema.
• Antifungal. Shea butter can be used together with other essential oils and natural ingredients to treat fungal infections such as ringworm and athlete’s foot.
