Shea butter

Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree, rich in fatty acids and vitamins, widely used as a natural moisturizer for skin and hair due to its emollient, soothing, and healing properties, helping with dryness, inflammation (like eczema), and promoting skin elasticity, though caution is advised for very oily or acne-prone skin. It can be used raw (unrefined) or refined and is found in many cosmetics, lotions, and even as a cooking fat in Africa.
