Bursting with natural, beneficial properties including vitamins A, E, F and K, and Oleic and Stearic fatty acids, Organic Shea butter helps moisturise your skin and to act as a natural barrier against the elements. The moisturising properties of shea butter make it ideal for use as a massage butter and a component in lip balms, facial moisturisers and bath oils. Shea butter creates a breathable, water-resistant film on the skin offering some protection from UV rays, and therefore is a popular ingredient in homemade sun creams.?. It's important to use the right type of shea butter, and the organic, unrefined type is by far the most popular. Extracted from the shea nut, Fresh Skin's organic shea boasts a rich, creamy texture and aroma, and is naturally high in cinnamon acid. A rich, oil-soluble butter, organic shea is arguably the most important ingredient in all nourishing, indulgent skin care products. Shea butter is much loved for its healing properties and intense moisturisation.
