Skincare cosmetics

The ingredients contained in cosmetic products are various and their use varies in relation to the skin concern that you want to treat and to the specific skin type. Some active ingredients, however, may appear more frequently than others in the labels due to their multiple properties: shea butter is one of these.
But do you really know what it is and why it’s so widely used?
Shea butter is extracted from the core of the tree of the same name (shea tree), which is mainly found in West Africa. After extraction, the compound is then processed with a cold squeezing process, obtaining a clear colouring butter with and intense aroma. Its use gives to the skin various benefits. The most known action is the nourishing one, which makes it essential for the treatment of very dry skin that lacks fatty substances and therefore needs help from outside.
By donating the proper lipid content to the skin barrier, which is partly formed of water and partly of fat, shea butter re-establishes the natural balance of the skin and increases the level of protection against harmful external agents.
In addition to the nourishing action, shea butter also performs an effective soothing and antibacterial one. Since ancient times, it was in fact used in wound and abrasion treatments to prevent infections, or for cracks in the lips, hands, and feet due to dryness. Thanks to these properties, it is also indicated for the treatment of very sensitive skin, inflamed or with eczema.
On top of this, the high concentration of Cinnamonic acid contained in shea butter fights the damage caused by UV rays, providing both superficial and deep protection, essential for tackling stress due to sun exposure.
Finally, we cannot forget about hydration! The moisturising properties of shea butter help to keep the skin elastic, fighting free radicals and also, making the compound an effective anti-ageing remedy.
