Description
This unscented organic shea body butter with its thick and creamy texture of the shea butter blended with the extra virgin olive oil is so soft, rich and wonderfully softening for the skin. Simply scoop a small amount out of the jar and allowing your natural body heat to warm the butter, gently apply to your skin and massage in.
Shea butter is the fat that is extracted from the nut from the shea (Karite) tree, mainly grown in West Africa and is the African treatment for skin conditions such as eczema, scarring, stretch marks, sunburn, itching, insect bites & ski n blemishes. Shea butter is the key ingredient in this natural body butter. With its creamy texture it is a delight to apply to the skin. Scientific investigations have found that shea nut butter does not pose any known or likely allergy risk to consumers, including those with peanut or tree nut allergies.
We use organic and fair trade shea body butter which contains naturally occurring vitamins A, E & F, helping to maintain optimum skin health. Improving elasticity and abundant in fatty acids that help with collagen production, to help maintain youthful skin and with its mild SPF (thought to range from 4-6 SPF, naturally), anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce skin irritation shea butter is a true skin healer. Shea butter not only works on the surface of the skin, creating a protective barrier but it also penetrates deeply into the dermal layers of the skin to heal within.
Olive oil contains at least four different types of antioxidant: vitamins A and E, polyphenols, phytosterols and avenasterol to help maintain a healthy body. The antioxidants in olive oil work by neutralising damaging free radicals that can lead to skin aging and skin cancer. Chlorophyll is also present in olive oil – a photosynthetic pigment found in plants and algae – the life-giving part of the plant. It is an anti-aging substance that promotes the healing of skin conditions and wounds.

I honestly cannot rate this product enough. Truly. I think it is probably the best skincare product I have ever used and this is why…
In the summer of 2021 I did some gardening and pulled some “weeds” – one of which I think may have caused me an allergic reaction. I spent the next 3 months slathering baby nappy cream on my hand and arm as I constantly broke out in itchy spots and my hand especially was red raw. Fast forward a few months and I didn’t have the spots but my hand was red raw, itchy and not nice to see. This hand seemed to have aged 10 years more than my other one. It seems I developed “housewives excema after this also which didn’t help.
It wasn’t until I placed this order and received the product that I decided to use it on my hand to try and replenish some lost moisture. Well. I now almost have my hand back to how it looked before my possible allergic reaction! It is a deliciously rich and beautifully soothing cream and it has done absolute wonders for my hand. I honestly cannot quite believe it and I am extremely grateful to have found such a product ❤️
