Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Thanks Carol! This is a nice little info tidbit about refined shea butter, which is a fabulous moisturizer. However, the full benefits of shea butter are only found in premium unrefined butter. Thanks again always good to see what people are writing and saying about my favorite subject.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Here it is:Printed from www.care2.com Shea Butter - What It Is, What It Does for Our Skin By Cait Johnson, Assistant Producer, Care2 Healthy Living Channels. Simple Solution It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and every time I've opened a magazine lately, there is a picture of a tin of 100% Shea Butter for sale from L' Occitane, who donates part of the proceeds to breast cancer organizations. It got me wondering what shea butter actually is (how do you milk a shea?) and why everybody says it's the best skin-healer and moisturizer around. A little research convinced me: everybody needs to know about this fabulous stuff! Find out what shea butter is, where it comes from, why it's so great for our skin, and how to get it: Shea butter is a solid fatty oil made from the nuts of Karite Nut trees, also known as Mangifolia, that grow in the semi-arid savannah regions of West and Central Africa. Shea butter is sometimes called " women's gold, " because extracting the butter from the nuts gives employment and income to hundreds of thousands of rural African village women. Shea butter is so non-toxic and beneficial that it is used in foods and cooking as well as soaps and beauty products. (Note from Cait: one of my favorite lip balms is a vanilla-scented treat from La Natura made with shea butter. It is totally delicious!) African healers and beauties have known about shea butter for thousands of years: the substance is almost magical in its healing effects on burns, skin conditions, ulcerated skin, stretch marks, and dryness. It contains beneficial vegetable fats that promote cell regeneration and circulation, making it a wonderful healer and rejuvenator for troubled or aging skin. It also contains natural sun-protectants. To buy a 150 ml tin of 100% pure shea butter for $35 from L'Occitane (proceeds to benefit breast cancer organizations), go to L'Occitane's website. Or, to buy pure shea butter for much less, go to Sun Rose Aromatics.Helpful Hints If you are allergic to latex, you will want to do a small patch test before you slather shea butter all over.
