THE WONDERS OF SHEA BUTTER (Magical for your skin).

        Shea butter is the ivory coloured fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, which is indigenous to Africa. Shea butter is rich in anti oxidants, minerals and vitamins also contain conditioning, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties for the skin and hair. It is used in cosmetics, skin production, and hair care products and sometime in chocolate production as a substitute for coco butter.
