Thousands of African plants have been used in natural skincare as far back as 2000 BC. Think iris, jasmine, rose, sweet almond, frankincense and cocoa butter.
Vitamin-rich shea butter
One of the most popular and well known is shea butter, from the Karite tree of the Savannah. The solid fat from the shea kernels contains very high levels of vitamins A, E, Iron and a natural form of cinnamate, which can help protect skin against the sun.
Natural shea butter for skin conditions
Some claim that no other single butter is as useful for the skin as unrefined, unprocessed shea butter. It works as a barrier against moisture loss and as an emollient - helping the skin's natural oils. These properties and it's ability to easily penetrate and elasticise the skin, make it a superb natural skin care treatment for all dry skin conditions. It is also a wonderful natural treatment for stretch marks. Organic and unrefined shea butter is anti aging, UV protective and climate protective. You can even put it on your hair as a deep conditioning treatment.
