It is a complex fat, which when processed and applied to skin melts at body temperature and is absorbed rapidly.
Benefits of Shea Butter on the Skin
This fatty substance derived from stearic acid and oleic acid has a multitude of healing properties for which it has long been venerated. For example, Africans have long used it for various skin complaints, from simple stretch marks to raging sores. It is also known to contain cinnamic acid, a substance that encourages skin healing and which also protects the skin from damage from the sun, as it is a very capable sun block (unrefined shea has a natural “spf” of 4).
