Shea Island will be exhibiting at our upcoming Autism Health and Wellbeing conference in July. In today’s blog they answer the question ‘Why are we so crazy about Shea Butter?’ by discussing some of its benefits.

Why are we so crazy about Shea Butter???????

Ok so let me explain why…..

Shea Butter is provided by the nut of the Shea Tree otherwise known as ButyrospermumParkii (don’t worry we can’t pronounce it either), which is native to Western Africa.

The Shea Tree is considered as a sacred tree which is understandable as it grows up to 60ft tall and does not flower before it is 20 years old.

Shea Butter has been used for centuries by African people to take care of their skin, heal aliments and is also found in food products.

These guys knew what they were talking about!!

With its high Vitamin E, D and A content Shea Butter not only keeps your skin in tip-top condition but also protects against UV rays and pollution damage. Essential fatty acids help improve the skins elasticity, whilst Vitamin E helps to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. The anti inflammatory and healing components, aids the healing of skin condiditons such as eczema, psoriasis and skin allergies.

Shea Islands Raw Organic Grade A Unrefined Shea Butter takes care of all of your skin needs.

To conclude………What’s not to be crazy about?!

Shea Island would also like to say a big Thank You to the wonderful ladies in Ghana who have worked hard to produce our lovely Shea Butter. Without you Shea Island would still only be a dream.

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog.

With Love
