Now Solutions Shea Butter Body Moisturizer is ideal for dry or rough skin in need of moisture, particularly in harder areas like the elbows, knees, and feet. Shea butter is obtained from the nuts of the karite tree, which grows in Western and Central Africa. It is an excellent emollient suitable for daily use. Natural shea butter has a rich, creamy feel and is commonly used for its moisturizing properties. These advantages are due to shea's fatty acid composition, which includes linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids. When you apply shea to your skin, the oils are quickly absorbed. They operate as a refatting agent, replenishing lipids and quickly producing moisture. This repairs the barrier between your skin and the outside world, retaining moisture and lowering your risk of dryness. This may help to reduce irritation caused by environmental factors including weather changes, which leave skin dry and parched. It contains high quantities of vitamins A and E, indicating that it promotes robust antioxidant activity. They protect skin cells from free radicals, which can cause premature aging and poor skin. Shea butter will melt when heated beyond body temperature and solidify again when cooled; this is natural and may change the appearance but will not degrade the product's quality.
