Earth's Care Shea Butter Description
Origins Extracted from the nut of the African She tree (Butyrospermum parkii), Shea Butter is prized for its moisturizing and revitalizing properties. Shea Butter is naturally rich in vitamins A & E - essential for good skin balance. It penetrates deeply, and its hydrating qualities soothe and refresh dry, chapped or sun-exposed skin.
Indications Earth's Care She Butter absorbs quickly, is suitable for all skin types, and does not clog pores. Use it daily to keep skin soft, clear and smooth. It is also an excellent scalp and hair moisturize.
Directions
Apply topically to the affected area as needed. Because Shea Butter is a natural product, it can become hard and can change in appearance. This is normal. To restore to a pliable consistency, microwave for a few seconds in a microwave-safe container or place jar in a pan of hot water for 15-30 minutes.
