Shea Butter
Shea butter refers to the fatty substance obtained from the nut of the African shea tree. Ivory, in color in its raw form, is one of the most essential ingredients in cosmetics. Its primary function is to serve as a moisturizer.
Highly emollient, shea butter is notable for its ability to prevent dryness. It is 60% fat and contains various fatty acids beneficial to the skin, including oleic, palmitic, linoleic, and stearic acids. It also has vitamins A, E, and K, which are vital for skin health. Vitamin A helps the skin in recovering from sun damage and other conditions. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that nourishes and protects the skin. Vitamin K ensures healthy collagen production to ensure good skin elasticity and delay aging.
Using shea butter on the lips is a straightforward process. All you need to do is to apply a thin layer on the lips with your clean finger or a cotton swab. You can do it many times during the day and as you sleep. This product has no known side effects when used topically. Just ensure you do not ingest a lot of it in the process.
