HOW IS SHEA BUTTER DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL LOTION?


Shea Butter is an amazing and deeply nourishing moisturizer.  Shea Butter is so powerful, it’s often touted as something above and beyond your standard store-bought lotion.  But why? How is Shea Butter different than normal lotion? Shea Butter is different than most normal lotions in three major areas.  

First, the way Shea Butter delivers moisture to the skin is very different than a normal lotion.  Normal lotions nourish only the first layer of skin, which is why they are called emollients.  Normal lotions soften the first layer of the skin, giving you a smooth outward appearance but only surface protection.  Shea Butter is an emollient and more.  Shea Butter soothes and moisturizes the top layer of skin, but also takes nutrients down to the bottom layer of the dermis.  That’s why Shea Butter is so effective; it nourishes your skin from the base up!

Secondly, Shea Butter is also different than normal lotions for its incredible number of uses.  Shea Butter is an unrivaled moisturizer, but can also be used for:

  • Hair Conditioning

  • Reducing hair breakage

  • Soothing dandruff


  • Soothing eczema, dermatitis and itchy skin

  • Healing blemishes

  • Reducing wrinkles and sagging skin

  • Healing minor burns

  • Minimizing Stretch marks

  • Minimize scarring

  • Reducing razor bumps

  • And soothing muscle aches

You can use Shea Butter for almost any and every beauty and therapeutic need you can think of!

Lastly, Shea Butter is different from normal lotions in its natural abundance of vitamins, antioxidants and soothing oils.  Shea Butter naturally has exceptionally high contents of Vitamins A and E.  This helps skin condition, glow and encourages collagen production.  Shea Butter also boasts of more antioxidants than Green Tea.  This helps your skin’s cellular integrity and reduces signs of aging.  

Lastly, Shea Butter is loaded with essential fatty acids. This is why Shea Butter is great at healing and deeply moisturizing.  Most normal lotions use additives to achieve this level of nourishment, but in Shea Butter all of these nutrients are naturally occurring!
