I see shea butter in many high-end face creams. How does it benefit the skin?
Shea butter, from the nut of an oak-like tree of the African savannah, improves the skin’s color and texture, combats skin thinning, and visibly diminishes wrinkles from photoaging due to prolonged sun exposure. In clinical studies, shea butter has demonstrated “regenerating properties that target it towards photoaging prevention.” It is non-greasy, stimulates blood circulation, and protects and softens the skin. Shea butter has sunscreening properties.
