African Shea Butter Hand Cream

Humans as a species evolved in Africa and it only makes sense that many of the plants and other unique substances beneficial to our species will be found in Africa. The Shea Karite tree, indigenous to the sub-tropical and tropical Savannah regions of West Africa produces a seed. From this seed Shea butter is sourced, a favorite of many high end hand and body lotion products.

It is prized because of its delicious and nutty smell as a food additive in industries like the chocolate industry as well. It will melt on the skin at body temperature and then is easily absorbed through the pores giving one an emulative, even anti- inflammatory effect as well as toning the skin to an irresistible tanned like color. Ever have a fantasy of how it would feel to melt chocolate all over your body? Well this will take you pretty close to fulfilling it.

If the smell of nuts is not your speed then the butter can be heated to a liquid state filtered through clay and scented with a variety of scents. You can take your pick or even add your own combination and still get the nourishing, moisturizing, protecting and therapeutic effects of this natural and essential fatty acid rich in vitamin A and E.

Yes, this natural nut extract is also reputed to have therapeutic properties and will help in other skin complaints like eczema, rashes, burns, scaring, stretch marks, chapped lips and blemishes. The darker more tanned colored creams can have a protective effect against the sun’s ultra violate rays and lock in moisture to protect against the drying effects of the wind; great for those trips to the beach and thus enhancing its toning properties even further.

Used by itself it can also be used as a combination product with similar other ingredients. Whether it is olive oil, rapeseed oil or avocado oil, all with their individual therapeutic effects Shea butter is used in many high end cosmetic and therapeutic products for its beneficial, protective and reputed healing properties.

Whether it would be a cold, windy day that dries out one’s skin leaving exposed areas like the hands chapped and sore; or a hot day on the beach where the emphases is on protection against the harsh sun’s ultra violet rays. Shea butter can offer a moisturizing, therapeutic, deeply penetrating effect that heals the skin and leaves a highly effective barrier against an often harsh and damaging environment.
