Shea butter is a skin superfood found in nature.  It is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree and is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F.  It is usually yellow in color when raw. It offers UV protection (it is SPF ~6) and provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production. Shea butter has been used in Africa and other countries for centuries. It is important for improving a number of skin conditions including blemishes, wrinkles, eczema and dermatitis. It also treats skin allergies, insect bites, sunburns, frostbites and a number of other skin conditions as well as accelerating wound healing.

Shea butter is also used to improve hair and can also be ingested to treat cold, flu, nasal congestion and fever.
