Benefits of Shea and Mango Butter

Our Body Butter

Our NEW rich creamy Body Butter or Heel Balm is made with pure Shea Butter and Mango Butter. The benefits of shea butter have been known for centuries. Some of its benefits include: healing skin cracks, minor burns, help to smooth wrinkles, reduces razor irritation, reduces blemishes and scarring & restores elasticity to skin. These are just a few of its many positive benefits. Hand-Whipped to Perfection, this intense moisturizing formula penetrates quickly, leaving your skin with a radiant glow and feeling dewy soft, supple, smooth, and never greasy! Ideal for extra-dry and chapped skin types. In addition, it’s a great way to soften rough feet. Apply to feet before bed-time and cover with cotton socks.

Most people are aware of shea butters number one benefit in helping to prevent stretch marks, but did you know that recent research has also found that massaging the skin with shea butter may help relieve stress and boost the immune system.

Do you have eczema, psoriasis, cracked cuticles or painful dry skin? Are you sick of using over the counter or prescription cortisone cream that you know is unhealthy for you but you feel dependant on it? That was how I was feeling with terrible eczema and a desperate need to find a healthier way towards relief. I discovered eczema / heel balm can be used as a body butter too, "miracle salve" (at least that's what I call it) and found the answer to my prayers. A little goes a long way with this all natural salve and the scents are divine.

Mango Butter is extracted from the de-shelled fruit kernels of the mango tree. It is heated and boiled to get the right consistency. Mango butter has natural emollient properties, high oxidative ability, wound healing, and regenerative activity due to its high unsaponiable. It has a protective effect against UV radiation. Mango butter will provide improvements and benefits in all the conditions listed below. As you use this butter you are likely to discover additional uses. Dermatologists often recommend mango butter for treatment of wrinkles, as most people who use it will notice decreased signs of aging and the disappearance of lines and wrinkles within 4 to 6 weeks of daily use.

Mango butter has good emolliency and lends protection against the sun. It is said to prevent drying of the skin and formation of wrinkles. Mango butter also reduces degeneration of skin cells and restores elasticity. Mango butter’s hardness makes it a great butter for stick formulations such as lip balm and lotion bars. It can be used to provide relief from the dryness of eczema and psoriasis.

The benefits of these 2 butters alone are substantial but to this superior combination we add Vitamin E and C. Vitamin E is known to reduce the signs of aging and can also reduce the appearance of age spots and stretch marks. Vitamin C is the only antioxidant that has been proven to increase collagen synthesis. Collagen synthesis is essential to maintain healthy skin. We even include Grape seed Oil which has a high content of linoleic acid, a fatty acid essential for the cell membranes and the skin. Grape seed oil serves as a wonderful moisturizer and truly nourishes the skin. Vitamin C is thought to fight oxygenated free radicals which can cause damage to skin cells. Researchers have recently discovered reactivate dying skin cells and combats free radicals which can cause skin to age prematurely.

All of your bath and body or face products contain either Shea Butter, Mango Butter or both.
