benfits of shea butter

starting today, every monday i will be showcasing different products or the different types of ingredients they contain. today is all about the benfits of shea butter. shea butter is an effective moisturizer because it contains so many fatty acids, which are needed to retain skin moisture and elasticity. it contains vitamins A,E, and F and has demonstrated both anitimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properites.  shea butter easily penetrates the skin, allowing the skin to breathe and doesn't clog pores.  shea butter can be found in my skin soothing lotion and in my body butter, which is pictured. also please join the alchemy factory on facebook to learn about specials! enjoy!  lisa
