The Magic of Shea Butter
Organic shea butter is firm fatty oil prepared from the nuts of Karite Nut trees, also known as Mangifolia, that are found in the semi-arid savannah regions of West and Central Africa. Shea butter is occasionally called “women’s gold,” because extracting the butter from the nuts gives employment and revenue to hundreds of thousands of rural African village women. Shea butter is so non-toxic and valuable because it is implemented in the manufacturing of foods and cooking as well as being an amazing ingredient for soaps and skin care beauty products. African healers and beauties have known about shea butter for thousands of years: shea properties are miraculous in its healing effects on burns, skin conditions, ulcerated skin, stretch marks, and dehydration.

For example, Shea Butter contains the ingredient Cinnamic Acid, a substance very closely related to cinnamon in the kitchen cabinet. The Cinnamic Acid in Premium Shea Butter is largely bound to other ingredients. As Shea Butter loses its natural reliability the quantity of bounded Cinnamic Acid decreases, and the amount of free or unbounded Cinnamic Acid raise. However, Shea Butter that has lost its natural integrity in the case of old shea butter, still keeps its moisturizing effectiveness.
Various Shea Butters imported from Africa can be classified as Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class F. Where class A is Premium Shea Butter, while class F is poor quality. If you are in need of only moisturizing properties, you should consider less expensive natural products such as cocoa butter or mango butter. These two products are as effective as Shea Butter for pure moisturizing.
