Shea Butter (unrefined)

Butyrospermum Parkii

If we could rate body butters like boxers Shea Butter is Ali, Julio Chavez, and Mayweather all in one. This butter is a knockout when it comes to skin and hair benefits.

We can't get enough of this good stuff around here.

Sweet Almond Oil

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis

The Almond nut is high in Omega-6 fatty acids so naturally the oil boasts that same nutrient. Sweet Almond oil was used in Ayurvedic remedies for hair strengthening and growth. It's high invitaminA and E and helps protect the skin from UV damage. We do caution about the use of this oil as those with nut allergies will have adverse reactions to it.

There is so much more to this oil than salad vinaigrette, we almost don't know where to begin. It's rich in Omega-3 and Omega -6 fatty acids. It's high in oleic acid which reduces inflammation.

Illipe Butter

Shorea Stenoptera

One of the lesser known butters, Illipe butter is not to be underestimated. It is highly beneficial for both skin and hair alike. It helps with the restoration of elasticity because of its high fatty acid content. It's rich in unsaturated fatty acids as well as linoleic and oleic acids which make for superb rebuilding of the skins lipid barrier. This ultimately helps curve germ and pathogen invasion.

It's high in lutein, which is naturally found in the eyes and functions as an antioxidant that may reduce many common age-related eye diseases. This oil has also been found to reduce pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. It is a skin improving oil that may even enhance the healing process of wounds and sores.
