Is shea butter good for skin and hair?
The shea butter is a byproduct of shea nuts grown in the tree Vitellaria Paradoxa in West Africa. It is produced through a laborious process in which the nuts from which the oil is extracted are grown, washed and prepared. The shea tree is also known as "the tree of life" for its many healing properties.
There is evidence that shea butter has been used in Africa for thousands of years to make food, skin balms, soaps, shampoos, traditional medicines, for cooking and to create oil lamps. Evidence shows that it has been used since the 14th century.
