A skin superfood, Shea Butter is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, phenolics and vitamins A, E and F and exhibits a number of skin-healing benefits.
Considered to be a sacred tree, the Shea Tree (also known as the Shea-Karite tree) grows naturally in the wild in the dry savannah belt of West Africa. A centuries-old legend tells that Egyptian Queen Nefertiti had discovered the miraculous Shea Butter with which she could take care of her incredible beauty.
Types of Shea Butter
Refined Shea Butter
Refined Shea Butter is known as the ‘processed form’ of Shea Butter. It’s used in large plants by manufacturers, using chemicals such as hexane. The chemicals help break open the seeds and speed the process of separating the fat (or butter) from the whole of the nut. These chemicals usually remove any odour and help make it smooth, allowing manufacturers to add perfumes and preservatives to increase shelf life.
Unrefined Shea Butter
Unrefined Shea Butter is the purest, most natural form of Shea Butter. Unrefined Shea Butter is removed manually from the seeds which allows for its vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and other properties to retain. Workers will gather the seeds and then boil them. After this, the nuts are crushed by hand so they can be slowly roasted in the butter. By boiling the seeds, the shells will be easier to use. Any bits of broken shell are removed so that the inner seed can be beaten along with water and then boiled again to extract the fat. As the fat cools, it’s whipped to make it smoother and a usable product.
Benefits of Shea Butter For The Skin
Highly Moisturising
Shea Butter is rich in vitamins A and E making it an excellent moisturiser for the skin as it nourishes and conditions even the most dehydrated and driest skin. Its fat content helps it to absorb into the skin easily and hydrate and smooth the skin without clogging up pores.
Anti-inflammatory
Shea Butter is packed with derivatives of cinnamic acid which have a ton of anti-inflammatory benefits for sensitive skin and acne breakouts, redness and flakiness flare ups. The essential fatty acids found in Shea Butter helps to lubricate and the protect the skin against inflammation and the effects of inflammation.
Anti-Oxidants
Shea Butter contains plant antioxidants such as vitamins A and E as well as catechin which work to protect the cells from free radicals and environmental damage. The cinnamic acid esters in the fat of Shea Butter help in preventing skin damage from
Sun protection
Shea butter acts as a natural sunscreen, containing natural SPF, providing protection against the ultraviolet radiations of the sun, though the level of protection offered may be variable. Shea butter is considered as the best skin care for winter and after-sun care as it provides the extra moisture, nutrients and protection needed by your skin during the cold season and summer.
Healing agent
Shea Butter has amazing healing properties, being often used as a base in medicinal ointments due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used since ages for the treatment of scars, eczema, blemishes, skin discolorations, chapped lips, stretch marks, dark spots, and in reducing the irritation caused by psoriasis. Due to its high content of vitamin A, it is effective in promoting healing and disinfection, and soothes skin allergies like poison ivy and insect bites. The vitamin F in Shea Butter acts as a rejuvenator for soothing and healing rough and chapped skin.
Anti-Aging
Shea Butter is considered to be one of the top anti-aging ingredients for the skin. Vitamin F found in Shea Butter helps to restore the elasticity of the skin and even skin-tone, hydrate and soften the skin. Shea Butter also works to promote the production of collagen to diminish wrinkles and fine-lines and reveal a radiant, youthful appearance. The anti-aging properties found in Shea Butter also help to stimulate blood circulation, promote cell renewal and the anti-oxidants help to fight free radicals which increase the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The summer is finally here and we are ready to dig up our slippers and oversize floppy hat! However, there are some point we should pay attention before going outside and enjoy the sun.
What happens to our skin when we get to much sunlight?
Sunlight is a combination of 3 types of rays – infrared, visible lights and ultraviolet. Usually the ozone layer absorbs most of toxic lights. However ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) penetrate through cloud and glass, deep into our skin, causing skin cell damage and premature aging. While the UVB penetrates into the outer layer of the skin epidermis damaging the cells and causing the skin to be inflamed or sunburnt, the UVA penetrates more deeply into the second layer of skin dermis causing direct damage to supporting tissues leading to ageing effects. Both types of rays are attributed to causing different skin cancers.
How should we read labels?
SPF stands for “sun protection factor” which represents the length of time you can stay in the sun protecting from UVB. SPF 15 means a person who normally (without sunscreen) would turn red after 10 minutes of sun exposure would take 150 minutes (10 x 15) to turn red. However, this does not mean you can stay in the sun for 150 minutes. Red is the main symptom that our skin cells have been damaged.
SPF rating system applies to UVB rays only. We need protecting from UVA also which causes of skin premature aging. In the revised EU guidelines for sunscreens products, this should be a UVA seal which requires providing consumers with a minimum level of UVA protection in relation to at least 1/3 of the SPF.
In US, FDA requires the phrase “BROAD SPECTRUM” which will provide protection from both UVA and UVB. Therefore, we are not looking for a SPF product only and also the UVA seal or the phrase “BROAD SPECTRUM”.
Is SPF 30 better than SPF 15? SPF 15 will filter out about 93% of UVB rays and SPF 30 filters out about 97%. European manufacturers most of the time recommend SPF 50+, which gives you almost 98% protection compared to the other ones.
How do sunscreens work?
Sunscreen is mainly composed by UV-filters. These work in one of two ways: (1) absorbing the UV-light by ‘soaking it up’ like thousands of tiny sponge soaks up water or (2) reflecting the UV-light away from the skin like thousands of tiny mirrors. Absorbing filters, also called chemical or organic filters, soak up UV-light then converting it into lower energy and safer infrared light. Reflecting filters, also called mineral or inorganic filters, are commonly used together with absorbing filters to get more efficient results. Different UV-filters tend to be effective against different wavelengths of UV-light, therefore most sunscreens products include several different UV-filters to provide a broad spectrum of protection, high SPF value and UVA seals.
My Recommendation
Avoid
Never expose to sunlight longer than necessary. Try to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10am to 4pm. The longer we are outside, the longer our skin suffered from UV-lights. No matter how – do not let SPF, UVA, hat – fool us into thinking we can stay out in the sun longer.
Shade
Staying under shade, such as a tree or umbrella, can reduce our sunlight exposure, but not completely. Only very broad and thick shade such as thickly wooded areas and widely overhanging structures provide enough protection explained by British Association of Dermatologists.
Cover up
Clothing
We can select dark-coloured, synthetic fabrics, close weave and dry clothing (fabrics get wet, their protection can be halved).
Oversized sunglasses
Please remember to check your sunglasses with ‘real’ sun protection. Remember that the UV-protective chemical on sunglasses is invisible, so the colour of the lens not an indication of protecting. Label must clearly state the following labelling.
“CE Mark” and British Standard (BS EN 1836:1997)
UV400 (it means the sunglasses blocks up to 400 nm of UV-light)
100% UV protection written on the label or sticker
Hat
Hats are great for protecting our face, ears, eyes and head and back of the neck. So choose a wide-brimmed hat for most protection. Baseball caps are not a good choice.
Sunscreen
Nice thick layer sunscreen can sit on our face and protect from UV-lights. National Institute for Health and Care recommends a minimum of SPF 15 and UVA seals in the UK. And don’t forget our lips.
DRINK WATER!
Watery fruits and veggies like watermelon, papaya, pineapple, muskmelon, grapes, orange, tomatoes and cucumber helps you feel refreshed and hydrated during summer and also feeds you with nutritious goods.
