There’s a lot of folk knowledge around shea, cocoa and mango butter, but science is starting to verify what we already knew — they’re amazing for skin! Here’s why;
1. Shea, cocoa and mango butter are high in vitamin A, which promotes healthy skin cell production.
From ILoveSheaButter.com;
“Shea butter is so rich in vitamin A that you could call it vitamin A (retinol) cream, no kidding! Retinol and retinoic acid are important for healthy skin cell production. They also stimulate the cells responsible for developing tissue that keep skin supple and healthy from within.”
2. They reduce itching and redness because they contain anti-inflammatory compounds.
3. They are high in fatty acid which prevents skin breakdown. A 1997 study found that topical application of fatty acid improves elasticity in skin.
It’s no wonder our customers notice that our butters don’t just moisturize — they heal.
