Shea butter is essential in many people's routine since it's such a reliable hydrator. It retains moisture and eases dryness, making it one to reach for in the winter. That's why you'll often find it in chapped lip products and moisturisers. On the reverse side, it offers light sun protection and soothes burns so it can treat sun damage year round.
Shea butter comes from the nuts of the African shea tree. It's an emollient which works quite similarly to some oils. Shea butter is a rich source of vitamins A, D and E, along with a ton of antioxidants. These properties are what makes it so good at hydrating and soothing.
Shea butter is non-irritating and doesn't clog pores. It's good for just about anyone who wants a hydrating option, especially those with very dry skin.
