I just discovered Shea Butter! Shea Butter is known for its skin loving vitamins and its ability to hydrate even the driest of skin. I’m quickly finding out that there are endless benefits to using pure Shea Butter, benefits I never knew about!
Lets rewind. I started using pure Shea Butter after my nightly shower about two weeks ago and I’ve been wow’ed by how soft my skin feels when I wake up in the morning. I discovered Sans Pareil Naturals Organic Shea Butter on Amazon and have been really impressed by the quality. I always read the reviews, and I was a bit hesitant since some claimed it came in hard as a rock and unusable. If you know anything about products like this, all it needs is a little bit of heat to be workable. Mine came and it was easy to scoop out of the tub and apply. All I needed to do is warm it up a bit in my hands and I was good to go.

Shea Butter has been used for years and years as a moisturizer as well as an anti-inflammatory by people all around the world. It’s also been used for it’s anti-aging properties…something I just learned.
I’ve been using Shea Butter on my body. I haven’t tried it in my hair, but have read that it can help moisturize dry and damaged locks. One day I might try it, but until then, I can stick to using it on my skin.

Shea Butter Benefits
Moisturizing: The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. It’s often used to remedy dry skin and to help protect the skinâs natural oils.
Reduces Inflammation: A 2010 study found that due to its cinnamic acid and other natural properties, shea butter was anti-inflammatory. One compound in particular, lupeol cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation and even potentially help avoid skin mutations. This also makes it beneficial for some people with acne.
Skin Smoothing: Shea butter aids in the skinâs natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. With long-term use, many people report skin softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.
21 Shea Butter Benefits and Uses
I’m learning that raw and unrefined Shea Butter is the best. The color and aroma might vary from tub to tub because it’s not processed other than with water. I find it to be relaxing, and I like the scent. It’s not too overpowering and it goes away quickly. If you don’t like the scent at all, you can opt for a refined product, but you might be missing out on some of the benefits since it’s processed a bit more.

If you’re in the market for a good Shea Butter, I recommend Sans Pareil Naturals. Not only is their Shea Butter amazing, they also give back to the Ugandan families to help bring them the quality of life they truly deserve and pay the farmers a fair market price for the products and work they provide. They provide sugar, soap, mosquito nets and malaria medication to the local community. It’s important to shop with brands that are Fair Trade Certified, so it’s a no brainer!
