Bella and Bear Body Butter for Women - Shea Butter Body Cream 7oz

Shea Butter is a fatty substance obtained from the nuts of the Shea Tree. It is an excellent skincare ingredient as it has soothing, healing and moisturizing properties. When you apply shea topically, these oils are rapidly absorbed into your skin. They act as a “refatting” agent, restoring lipids and rapidly creating moisture. It’s thought that shea butter stops keloid fibroblasts — scar tissue — from reproducing, while encouraging healthy cell growth to take their place. This may help your skin heal, minimizing the appearance of stretch marks and scarring. Shea butter contains high levels of linoleic acid and oleic acid. These two acids balance each other out. That means shea butter is easy for your skin to fully absorb and won’t make your skin look oily after application. When applied to the skin, shea triggers cytokines and other inflammatory cells to slow their production. This may help minimize irritation caused by environmental factors, such as dry weather, as well as inflammatory skin conditions. Shea butter has significant levels of vitamins A and E, which means it promotes strong antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are important anti-aging agents. They protect your skin cells from free radicals that can lead to premature aging and dull-looking skin. Shea butter contains triterpenes. These naturally occurring chemical compounds are thought to deactivate collagen fiber destruction. By boosting collagen production and promoting new cell generation, shea body butter may help reduce what researchers call photoaging — the wrinkles and fine lines that environmental stress and aging can create on skin.
