Among the many legendary magical effects, the relatively reliable beauty and skin care effects mainly include:

● moisturizing

This is relatively easy to understand. Shea butter contains a large amount of triglycerides composed of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which can form a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture from evaporating. There are some unsaturated fatty acids and other unsaponifiable ingredients, which can penetrate into the skin, nourish the epidermal cells, soften the skin, and exert an excellent moisturizing effect. This characteristic of shea butter makes her especially suitable for dry skin. There are numerous experiments that also demonstrate the long-term moisturizing effect of shea butter on the surface of the skin.

● anti-aging

In 1990, Dutch biochemist Jan dekker conducted an anti-aging clinical experiment with shea butter. A total of 30 volunteers aged 29 to 82 participated in the experiment. Volunteers massaged once a day with balm made of shea butter. After 4 to 8 months, the skin of all volunteers improved to a large extent: after several weeks of use, the grayish yellow rough skin changed Smoother, smoother skin and less wrinkles.

This anti-aging effect may be due to the high content of unsaponifiables, lipids in shea butter. In addition, shea butter may also have the effect of stimulating collagen production.

● anti-inflammatory

Shea butter is one of the effective medicines traditionally used by African aborigines to treat rheumatism. Research data have shown that shea butter has a certain healing effect on dermatitis, sunburn and scarred skin.

In summary, as a vegetable oil, shea butter has excellent effects in moisturizing, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, strengthening skin barrier function, etc. It is precisely because of these remarkable effects that shea butter is used in high-end cosmetics It is widely used, but it should be noted that the amount of shea butter added must be greater than 2% in order to exert an excellent effect. Shea butter is generally safe, non-irritating to the skin, and does not cause adverse reactions.
