Shea Butter

Shea Butter is creating quite a buzz with beauty product companies around the world. The amazing healing benefits of Shea Butter are numerous. Although it is derived from a tree nut there is little to no risk of allergic reactions from unrefined Shea Butter.

Shea Butter is being added to the ingredients of products like lip balm, conditioners and shampoos, lotions, massage creams, and many other things. Customers will purchase these products thinking they are going to be getting the great benefits of Shea Butter when they're probably not. The reason is because in most of these products, the Shea Butter has been refined. Through the refining process, the odor is removed from the Shea Butter, by doing this not only is the odor removed, but so are the healing properties.

Refined Shea Butter is pumped full of chemicals to extend the shelf life, or to create an unnatural fragrance. Some of these chemicals are potentially dangerous and toxic. In fact, the preservatives used are enough to cause skin allergies and contact dermatitis. Unrefined Shea Butter is natural, healthy and beneficial. Be assured that Cori's Naturally uses only unrefined Shea Butter in our products.
