Have you ever heard the saying, Butter up buttercup? I'm talking about Shea Butter not the stick of butter from your refrigerator. Shea butter has been a staple in African American Skin Care and our pantry's for .... I was about to say for centuries but it's more like Forever.

A staple on the Continent of Africa, shea butter is not only used for skin care but for hair care as well. It is considered the number one natural ingredient for beautiful black skin and hair care.

Shea butter has been combined with sea salts and turbinado sugar to create some of the most luxurious body scrubs. Its oil has been blended with coconut, jojoba, and almond oils and this makes a wonderful moisturizer for your skin and your hair. Blend it with cocoa and mango butters and shea butter makes a great skin and hair care product.

Found in its pure form and cosmetic grades (this is what is used in most over the counter products), shea butter is a skin lover's dream product. Did you know that outside of Africa, the largest users of Shea Butter are the French?

Surprise, Surprise !!

Here's what Shea Butter can do for Your Beautiful Black skin and Hair:

- The raw butter- this is typically what you see at street festivals and fairs, helps heal scars, burns, bruises, and stretch marks.

- It can help prevent ashy skin, chapping, and skin rashes.

- It's great as a hair conditioner, that's if you don't over do it.

- Fortifies your cuticles and nails.

- Helps rid your scalp of dandruff.

- Helps prevent skin irritation for babies: used for generations to help babies sleep better.

- Ideal for dermatitis, eczema, and athlete foot especially when blended with cocoa butter and mango butter.

- Firms up maturing skin and helps soften the appearance of wrinkles.

- Shea Butter naturally contains vitamins A and E.

In its "pure" form it is a very oily product, so be careful when you're getting dressed. Make sure that your application has had time to penetrate your skin before you put your clothes on, because it will leave a stain.

So Butter Up Buttercup with a big slather of shea butter and watch your beautiful black skin glow from the silky luster that the butter gives it.

Don't forget your hair, it wants to benefit from the use of this product also and show off its silky, radiant, luxurious sheen.

To Your Beauty!
