The Benefits of Shea Butter

Shea butter comes from the shea tree in Africa. Since the days of the ancient Egyptians, the tree and nuts have been used for health and longevity. The shea tree was carved into funeral beds, the nuts ground into oils for makeup. The Egyptians likely invented makeup and sought eternal life, so it’s no wonder that they looked to the natural resources in the beautiful wilds of Africa and the Middle East for medicinal and beauty products.

The shea nut is rich in essential fatty acids. Traditionally, the nuts are cracked (to remove the hard outer shell), ground with a mortar and pestle and then boiled, using water, to help separate the oils. The ground nuts have a muddy brown color, but when the oil is extracted and unrefined it is creamy yellow. Chemical extraction methods and refining make some shea butter completely white or clear. Our natural shea butter retains its creamy hues, as variant as a field of daffodils.

The extracted oils in shea butter melt at body temperature, so they absorb rapidly and easily into skin. With its healing and soothing properties, one can safely use shea butter for eczema and on flaky, inflamed or irritated skin, in most cases. Shea moisturizers also make excellent daily facial care products!

Manuka Honey, aka Liquid Gold

Manuka honey comes from New Zealand, where bees harvest the nectar of white or pink manuka flowers. The manuka tree itself has many wonderful properties; its extracted oil is used in aromatherapy or for its antiseptic qualities dating back for centuries! 

Though the prickly leaves deter some predators, the bees feast on the shrub-like Manuka tree. Manuka honey retains some of the qualities of the plant while adding traits only these naturally raised bees could generate. Popular for its exceptional sweetness, manuka honey has been used around the world, but only recently have its remarkable healing properties been recognized outside of the traditional therapies of its homeland.

Manuka honey is naturally anti-bacterial, in addition to containing key nutrients which soothe and heal skin, when used topically. Hence, it’s introduction io skin care recently, where it has spread like wildfire!
