Derived from the nut of the karite tree native to West Africa, Shea butter has been used for centuries as a very rich emollient that prevents skin from drying out. It has been reported that Queen Cleopatra herself regularly used Shea butter as part of her beauty regimen. Shea butter has anti-inflammatory properties and is touted as having a mild sun-screen effect. It also carries large portions of vitamins A and E, both of which are essential to the maintenance of healthy skin and hair.
