Shea Butter
Versatile and everyday essential, shea butter is the perfect “food” for your skin and hair. It effectively nourishes, soothes, and protects the skin from environmental factors. Particularly suitable for dry, damaged, or cracked skin and split hair ends, shea butter can be applied to dry, irritated patches on the face and body, as well as used as a lip balm, hand cream, or foot cream. It also works well as an overnight mask for hair ends. Shea butter is indispensable for soothing dry nasal passages and the skin around the nose. Rich in texture, it creates a protective barrier: use it to prevent chafing and protect the skin against cold, wind, and humidity.

Shea butter is an exceptionally versatile and valuable skincare product extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree using traditional, handcrafted methods. Africans consider the shea tree sacred, so it cannot be cut down. This butter serves as a nourishing and soothing remedy for all skin types, with particular benefits for dry, sensitive, and inflamed skin. Thanks to its natural fatty acids, shea butter effectively softens and nourishes the skin, enhancing its texture and overall appearance. It is especially recommended for cracked skin on elbows, knees, feet, and lips, as well as for dry areas on the calves, belly, arms, and face. Rich in antioxidant vitamins E and A, shea butter provides comprehensive protection for the skin. Suitable for the whole family, it is safe for even the most sensitive baby and child skin, as well as for use by pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Recommended uses and directions for use:
Warm up (rub) a small piece of shea butter between your fingers and apply it to the skin as needed: wherever it’s dry, itchy, rashy, red, chafed, or chapped.
Apply shea butter to the cracked corners of the lips. The more often, the better. Vitamins A and E work wonders, so the cracks will heal very quickly!
For dry, chapped nail cuticles and splitting nails, apply shea butter every evening – you won’t have to wait long for results!
If the skin on your hands or feet is cracked, you can make an overnight mask. Apply a generous amount of shea butter, then wrap the area in plastic or cling film, and leave it on overnight. In the morning, your skin will be nourished and velvety soft. Shea butter is also perfect for daily hand and foot care, serving as a great substitute for rich-textured creams.
Apply shea butter to split hair ends and leave it on overnight. Wash it out in the morning. By repeating this process 2–3 times a week, you’ll forget what split ends are!
During the cold season, shea butter is an excellent protective solution for sensitive skin on the face, hands, lips, ears, and more. Warm the butter between your fingers and apply it to dry skin just before heading outside. Shea butter also helps with frostbite and chilblains.
It forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, making it useful for preventing rashes or chafing. Apply a thin layer of shea butter to a baby’s dry bottom to protect the skin from irritation caused by diaper moisture and heat. If the baby’s skin is chafed, red, or rashy, first wash it with running water, then generously moisten it with lavender blossom water before applying shea butter to the still damp skin. This will reduce redness, inflammation, and itching.
To treat your baby’s cradle cap (crusty scales on the scalp), apply a generous amount of shea butter to the affected areas and leave it on for 20–30 minutes. If desired, you can put on a thin cotton cap. Afterward, gently brush the baby’s hair and scalp with a soft brush or comb designed for infants until the scales gradually lift away. Wash the head with a mild shampoo, and if the skin is red, soothe it with lavender flower water.
Shea butter stimulates collagen synthesis and increases skin elasticity, making it an excellent choice for preventing stretch marks during pregnancy. Apply a thin layer to damp skin immediately after bathing or showering.
Shea butter is also ideal for nipple care during breastfeeding. Apply as needed, and wash it off before feeding.
Additionally, shea butter possesses skin-regenerating and brightening properties, making it effective for treating pigmentation spots and for scar massage. For enhanced results, you can add a few drops of the “Sweet Dreams!” essential oil blend or frankincense essential oil to the shea butter. With patience, these remedies can yield remarkable results!
If your face or body skin is irritated after depilation or shaving, generously spray it with lavender blossom water or the “Skin Soother” hydrolat blend, then apply a thin layer of shea butter.
Shea butter effectively restores skin function and balance after sunburns. Once the acute phase (when the skin is hot and red) has passed, apply a thin layer of shea butter to reduce itching, relieve tightness, and regenerate damaged cells.
Shea butter can also serve as a great decongestant, helping to clear nose and ease breathing. Nasal congestion often occurs due to dry air (during prolonged dry spells or the heating season), increased fluid retention in the body (during pregnancy), or various respiratory infections. Shea butter nourishes, hydrates, protects the nasal mucosa, effectively easing breathing. Dip a cotton swab (or your finger) in shea butter and apply it to the nasal passages several times a day. This procedure is especially recommended for newborns in their first months, who may snuffle and make grunting nasal sounds without showing signs of a cold. Shea butter instantly resolves this issue!
Shea butter also effectively reduces itching from insect bites. Apply it to the affected areas several times a day.
Despite its thick and rich texture, this butter is excellent for facial care. It is particularly favoured by those with mature and extremely dry skin. Literature widely describes shea butter’s wrinkle-reducing, rejuvenating, and regenerative properties. Thanks to oleic and linolenic fatty acids, shea butter is readily absorbed into the skin and doesn’t clog pores. Before applying shea butter to the face, ensure the skin is moistened with a hydrolat (floral water) first.
Shea butter can be particularly beneficial for babies and children with atopic dermatitis. However, it’s important to note that shea butter is derived from nuts, which may not be suitable for individuals with allergies. Before using shea butter on large areas of skin, it is advisable to test a small amount on a patch of skin affected by atopic dermatitis to monitor for any adverse reactions. If you choose to use shea butter for atopic skin care, remember to apply it to damp skin immediately after bathing or showering. Before the next application, wash and moisten the skin again! Layering oils or other emollients on the skin over time will ultimately worsen the condition!
Direction for use: Apply to clean skin and hair as needed. If you want the butter to absorb, use it on damp skin. For a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, apply it to dry skin. Generously apply to hair ends a few hours before washing or leave it on overnight, then wash in the morning.
