BIO Shea butter is a yellowish fat obtained from the nuts of the African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). It is known for its beneficial effects on human skin and hair. Shea butter can help with some of the most common skin problems, such as skin blemishes, inflammation, burns and wrinkles. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and hydrating properties and helps in the treatment of acne, eczema, psoriasis and arthritis. It is used to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, reduce muscle fatigue and alleviate dermatitis. Shea butter is extremely moisturizing and very hydrating, after application to the skin it provides immediate softness and smoothness.
Raw shea butter is rich in fatty acids, including oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid and arachidic acid. It contains vitamins E, A and K, which are the primary ingredients responsible for the hydrating effects of shea butter on the skin.
Vitamin A: acts as a skin regulator and is responsible for turning immature skin cells into mature ones and has the ability to help with the appearance of wrinkles and acne.
Vitamin E: is one of the most important protectors of the skin, it slows down the skin's natural aging, smoothes wrinkles, heals the skin, prevents scarring and has anti-inflammatory effects. Vitamin E in shea butter also helps protect your skin from UV radiation.
Oleic acid: A fatty acid, mostly found in vegetable oils. It is commonly used in cosmetic products such as moisturizing soaps and creams.
Stearic acid: A fatty acid present in animal and vegetable oils. It is used as a lubricant in various cosmetic products.
Linoleic acid: An anti-inflammatory fatty acid that prevents acne.
Palmitic acid: A fatty acid with lubricant properties commonly used in hair care.
Arachidic acid: This fatty acid comprises the smallest amount among others in Shea butter. It is also used in cosmetic products as a moisturizer.

The application we use for oils also applies to body butters. To fully utilize the potential of body butter, it must always be applied onto damp skin (this is always the case for any oil or butter). Therefore, it’s important to keep your skin from drying out. Butter (containing oils and fatty acids) has the attribute of forming a protective barrier on the surface area of the skin, through which it does not allow moisture to penetrate into the skin and vice versa. Therefore, when body butter is applied to moist skin, the skin remains healthy and hydrated. In this way, butter and oils regulate the moisture balance. Ideally, it can be applied directly after a shower for maximum absorption.
