Shea Butter - An Oil of Ghana

An Oil ofGhana

From a young age, and by young I mean the teenage years of brewing vanity, there has always been one special request on my list of homecoming gifts passed through to friends and family returning from a visit to Ghana - without me may I add. Known as a natural beauty product of Ghana, Shea butter is a household favourite, loved for its incredible benefits to skin and hair.

Whether it’s to repair your hair, skin or even cracked lips, Shea Butter’s rich, moisturising agents prove to be the perfect substance to keep you glowing and popping all year round.

Shea butter for skin

Shea butter comes from a nut of the African Shea tree which absolutely must grow in the fountain of youth as one of the key benefits is skin cell regeneration aka younger looking skin. Shea Butter helps with your skins tissue cell regeneration which is the softening of the skin. This not only helps to combat the first signs of aging but also helps with the appearance of wrinkles that already exist.

If you are lucky enough for wrinkles to be the last thing on your hit list, Shea butter is a wonderful and powerful moisturiser packed with vitamin E and A. Dry skin, be gone!

Shea butter for hair

Being a natural, I know first hand the benefits of Shea butter on hair due to its ultra moisturising and nourishing properties, this creamy oil is the ultimate hair food of life! Its creamy thick texture makes it a brilliant sealant and conditioning agent bringing dry, frizzy locks to life.
