About Shea Butter: Shea butter lotion moisturizes the skin, penetrating deeply to deliver valuable nutrients. The moisturizers in shea butter lotion are the same as those produced by the sebaceous glands of the skin. In fact, because its structure and function resembles that of the lipid content of skin, shea butter is considered to be a Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). As an NMF, it helps keep the inter-cellular structure of the epidermis intact, and effectively keeps bacteria out. Shea butter facilitates the skin’s healing process, prevents dermal irritation and regenerates the skin. It is particularly useful for those looking to improve the appearance of dry skin, or those having to combat cold winter weather. It also works as an anti-inflammatory, helping to soothe itchy, irritated or sunburned skin. Best of all, it naturally absorbs UVB rays to protect the skin from the sun, and has antioxidant properties as potent as those of green tea and olive oil.
