In the world of natural skincare, few ingredients have stood the test of time like African Shea Butter. Used for centuries by communities across West Africa, this nutrient-rich butter is nature’s answer to a wide range of skin and hair concerns. At Defee, we connect you with ethically sourced Shea Butter from trusted suppliers so you can enjoy its benefits with peace of mind.
The Origins of African Shea Butter
African Shea Butter is made from the nuts of the Shea tree, which grows naturally in the dry savannah belt of West Africa. The butter is extracted through traditional methods—hand-harvested, sun-dried, and cold-pressed, preserving its rich nutrients and creamy texture.
What makes Shea Butter truly special is its connection to the communities that produce it. Many of the women-led cooperatives involved in its production use income from sales to support their families and invest in local development.
Why It’s a Must-Have in Your Routine
Shea Butter isn’t just another trend, its benefits are backed by centuries of use:
Intense Moisturization: Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A & E, Shea Butter hydrates and softens even the driest skin.
Healing Power: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can soothe eczema, psoriasis, and minor cuts or burns.
Stretch Mark Savior: Regular use can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Natural Sun Protection: With an SPF of about 6, it offers mild natural UV protection.
How to Use Shea Butter
One of the best things about Shea Butter is its versatility:
As a Body Butter: Apply after your shower while your skin is still damp for maximum absorption.
As a Hair Treatment: Melt a small amount in your palms and massage into your scalp or use as a leave-in conditioner for thick, curly hair.
As a Lip Balm: A dab goes a long way to protect against chapped lips.
For Baby Care: Gentle and natural, it’s great for soothing diaper rash or dry baby skin.
