Hand and Body lotions with Shae Butter

By Dandee Man Jr.

Did you know that Shea butter found in moisturizing lotions truly has healing power? This butter is non-toxic, organic, and when left in its natural form can be used for cooking. Lotions containing Shea butter are famous for making the skin feel and look younger.

Shea butter provides natural skin rejuvenation. Shea butter is completely safe to use even on babies. Its awesome powers allow it to heal such conditions as cracked skin, ulcers, wounds, and dermatitis. After birth mothers have been known to use Shea butter to help with the effects of stretch marks on the skin because of the way it restructures the skin.

Some other amazing ways to use shae butter is as a daily soap, or in the bath tub. Shae butter has also been known to sooth aching muscles. Dont be suprised when you see shae butter as a key ingredient in anit-aging cream formulas.These Shae butter lotions are usually expensive, however shae butter can be duplicated or made at home for less.

Most Shea butters that you are able to buy now has been refined. The refining process removes the natural scent and color but in the process of refining it many of its effective ingredients are removed. Refine Shea butter has been bleached, deodorized, and heated to almost 400. Sadly all this refining has removed most of the healing values, making it worth a fraction of what it should be.

Unless you know the butter that you are buying is unrefined and from West Africa, chances are it is refined.Sure refined Shea butter may be aesthetically appealing,but it lacks its true moisturizing, healing, and nutritious properties of traditional Shea butter.
