Need to tame a crispy, winterized face or a dry-as-dust scalp? Shea butter, culled from the shea karite tree in Africa, is your ticket to magically moisturized skin. Loaded with vitamins A, E and F, products containing shea butter will nourish desiccated skin and scalp without leaving the slick residue often found in beeswax, petroleum or mineral oil. Shea butter also boosts the skin’s elasticity and improves overall skin balance.
