Shea Butter (Butyrospermun Parki )Shea butter is a yellowish, ivory or white colored butter that has been enjoyed thousands of years of traditional use by African healers to help alleviate maladies of the skin and scalp.Shea Butter comes from the African Shea tree found along the West African Savannah region. It is a wild growing tree that produces tiny, almond-like fruit from which Shea butter is extracted. The tree itself is not cultivated and takes 40 to 50 years to mature. Shea butter is a sustainable product. In most parts of West Africa, destruction of the Shea tree is forbidden due to its economic, health and social benefits. Shea butter is also considered a valuable natural food source in Africa. Many herbalists in Africa regard Shea butter as an invaluable agent for internal and external body purification. Shea Butter is becoming increasingly popular in the natural bodycare and cosmetic industries for good reason. It has been used for centuries in Africa for its moisturizing and healing properties, where it has been used in natural skin care products and to condition skin which has been damaged by the sun and wind.
