Shea butter—it’s the skincare ingredient that’s been stealing the spotlight for years. But it’s not just a buzzword thrown around to sound fancy. This buttery wonder from nature is a true multitasker, loved by beauty enthusiasts and skincare fans alike. So, what makes shea butter such a superstar, and why is it a key ingredient in Salt of the Earth deodorant sticks? Let’s break it down.

What Is Shea Butter?

Shea butter comes from the nuts of the shea tree, which grows primarily in West Africa. Extracted and processed into a creamy, rich butter, it’s been used for centuries to care for and nourish the skin. Our shea butter is sourced from trusted suppliers who follow responsible and sustainable harvesting practices.

The Science of Shea: What’s Inside?

So, what’s in shea butter that makes it such a skincare favourite? Let’s get nerdy for a moment:

• Vitamins A and E – Naturally occurring in shea butter, these vitamins are known for their antioxidant properties, helping to keep skin looking healthy.
• Essential Fatty Acids – Shea butter contains fatty acids like stearic, palmitic, and linoleic acids, which help maintain skin hydration by supporting its natural barrier.
• Phytosterols – These plant-based compounds are commonly used in skincare for their nourishing properties.

In short, shea butter is a fantastic ingredient that helps keep skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

The Benefits of Shea Butter for Your Skin

Let’s talk results. What does shea butter actually do for your skin?

Deep Hydration

Shea butter acts as an emollient, helping to create a protective layer on the skin that locks in moisture. Whether you’re tackling winter dryness or soothing post-shave skin, shea butter is a fantastic skin-conditioning ingredient.

Lightweight and Non-Greasy

One of the best things about shea butter? It absorbs well without leaving a greasy or sticky residue, making it a great choice for daily use.

Skin Nourishment

The vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter help keep skin feeling soft and smooth. It's great for areas that need a little extra moisture, like elbows and knees!
