What is Shea Butter? Shea butter’s unparalleled moisturizing property is important for improving a number of skins conditions, including blemishes, wrinkles, eczema, and dermatitis. Additionally, premium shea butter has properties that treat skin allergies, insect bites, sunburns, frostbites, and a number of other conditions of the skin. Why use Unrefined Shea Butter? Only high quality premium shea butter can offer the benefits mentioned here. Once shea butter is aged (about one year) or loses its natural integrity, many of these wonderful benefits are also lost. However, shea butter that has lost its natural integrity, (i.e. degraded shea butter), retains its moisturizing effectiveness.We now know that poor quality shea butter is ineffective in healing many of the skin conditions listed on this site. This is a new finding and perhaps the single most important finding in the past 10 years in understanding why all shea butters are not equally effective. This is why at Afya Siagi Health Butter, we use only the best quality and freshest shea butter. What Makes Shea Butter Different From Other Natural Oils? Most seed oils can be divided into two important fractions: (1) the first fraction is called the saponifiable fraction, which contains most of the moisturizing (moisturizing fraction); (2) the second fraction is called the nonsaponifiable fraction, which contains most of the healing properties (healing fraction).What sets shea butter apart from other seed oils is its exceptionally large healing fraction. The healing fraction contains important nutrients, vitamins, and other valuable phytonutrients required for healing. Depending on the source, the size of the healing fraction may range from 5% and upward. Some report the healing fraction as high as 17%. The larger the healing fraction the better the chances are for a good quality shea butter. In other seed oils, the healing fraction is very small, often in the range of 1% or less. While other seed oils may have a good to excellent moisturizing fraction, these oils contain little or no healing fraction. Because shea butter has such a large healing fraction, in addition to moisturizing fraction, regular use of this natural cream can treat many skin problems, including blemishes, wrinkles, itching, sunburns, small skin wounds, eczema, skin allergies, insect bites, frost bite, and other skin conditions. What are The Differences Between Unrefined And Refined Shea Butter? Shea butter is sold in two forms: Refined and Certified Organic Unrefined (100% natural shea butter). Some may prefer a shea butter that has been highly refined which strips the butter of its earthy aroma and color; however the natural properties and abilities of shea butter are stripped away when it has been refined. It is much less effective than the pure, unrefined, 100% natural shea butter that we offer at Health Butter.There are many differences between unrefined and refined shea butter. Most noticeably are the scent, color and benefits. Unrefined shea butter maintains its nutty scent, ivory-beige color and all of its healing properties. However, the aroma of unrefined shea butter disappears within minutes as the butter absorbs into the skin. Most commercially available shea butter is refined using dangerous petroleum chemical called hexane and a vacuum extraction method is used to eliminate shea butter's slightly fruity aroma. Refined shea butter has been chemically altered to remove the natural scent, is bleach white in color and retains only a small portion of its natural healing properties. Please note that some companies sell refined shea butter as 100% pure shea butter. What Is The Source Of Afya Siagi Health Butter? Shea butter, the multi-purpose all natural vitamin A skin cream, is derived from the seed of the Shea fruit which can be found in both West and East Africa. The cream is extracted and prepared without the use of chemicals. The best Shea butter for skin use is prepared by cold press methods without use of added chemicals or preservatives like Hexane.Characteristics of Shea Butter Shea butter substitutes are not likely to give you the results mentioned on this site. Premium shea butter should be stowed at room temperature. It is an ivory beige-colored creamy solid that readily melts in the hands when rubbed together and is quickly absorbed by the skin. When left in a hot room or near a heat source, shea butter will readily melt just as any other butter. It is not green, gray, dark brown or white – products with these colors are modified substitutes sometimes bearing the name 100% shea butter.Furthermore, as mentioned above, pure, natural unrefined shea butter has a nutty scent. Once you smell pure natural Shea butter, you will always know the smell. Once applied to skin, the scent will start to fade and become very faint then eventually have no smell that competes with any other fragrance you apply. What Are The Ingredients In Shea Butter?
