Shea butter for skin: what are the benefits?

A staple ingredient in many skincare and bodycare routines, Shea Butter is loved for its hydrating and restorative properties. Rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin E, Shea Butter is a natural ingredient, extracted from the Shea Nut, which nourishes, softens and repairs the skin.

Naturally packed full of vitamins and fatty acids, it is often included in moisturisers and balms to nourish the skin and leave it feeling soft and supple. Also working to improve your skin's natural collagen production and support its barrier function, Shea Butter is the truly a skin-loving ingredient.

To enrich your skin and treat dry, lacklustre complexions, we have curated an edit of the best Shea Butter-infused products for your skin.
