There’s a reason shea butter has been beloved across West Africa for generations. This article explains how the natural compounds in unrefined shea butter—like triterpenes and essential fatty acids—support barrier repair, calm irritation, and keep skin supple and deeply moisturized.
Unrefined Shea butter contains naturally occurring chemicals called triterpenes. Triterpenes have skin regenerating properties that strengthen the skin barrier or the epidermis.
Using moisturizing products that contain at least 10% shea butter as part of your daily skin care regimen, will strengthen and regenerate your skin. Healthy skin will heal and recover quickly from environmental damage and trauma because it is stronger.
Using shea butter to treat small cuts, burns and wounds also helps accelerate the healing time.
