Let me tell you about an oil rich in fats that is derived from a tree called karite, popularly known as the shea tree. In Africa, the shea tree is the solution to all beauty needs including hair and skincare.
History Of Shea Butter
The Shea tree has naturally inhabited West Africa for centuries, stretching from Senegal to Sudan and up to the foothills of Ethiopia. In ancient times, queens used Shea butter for healing and skin care. Even the Queen of Sheba used it. The tree was used to carve coffins for the early kings of Africa whilst the fruit was used for healing and skin care. In Ghana, when a child gets injured by a nail or sharp object, Shea butter is melted and smeared on the wound. In some communities, Shea oil is used for cooking meals which gives such meals a sweet aroma. Daily application of shea butter to the skin reduces inflammation, enhances moisturizing and promote skin smoothing.
Do not forget to apply a sample of Shea butter to your scalp to reduce dandruff and to promote a healthy hair.
