Shea butter is a highly nourishing plant fat, which is extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). It is rich in fatty acids, which act as both emollients and occlusives, helping to soften dry skin, reduce flaking, and strengthen the skin barrier. Compounds like triterpenes give shea butter mild anti‑inflammatory activity, making it useful for irritated, itchy, or eczema‑like skin, as well as for soothing sunburn, chafing, and razor burn. It improves elasticity, reduces roughness and fine lines, and also helps to fade scars and stretch marks by supporting tissue repair and maintaining skin hydration.
