About Shea Butter Skincare & Haircare

Discover the Rich Heritage of Shea Butter

Extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree, shea butter has been used for generations to nourish skin and hair through harsh conditions. In modern formulas it delivers intense moisture, barrier support and soothing comfort, particularly for dry, sensitive or mature skin. With a texture that melts into the skin or hair, it offers both richness and effectiveness in one powerful ingredient.

Find Your Perfect Shea Butter Solution

Whether you are seeking a body butter for winter dryness, a hair mask for frizz-prone curls or a facial cream that supports skin elasticity, there is a shea butter solution for you. Choose lightweight blends if your hair or skin tends to be finer, or richer pure butters for deeper nourishment. Combine with hair oils or serums for extra styling benefits, or pair with other barrier-supporting actives for skincare layering.

Personalised Advice on Integrating into Your Routine

Start by mapping your primary concern, whether dryness, frizz, sensitivity or ageing, and select a product accordingly. For skin, apply to damp skin after cleansing; for hair, apply to damp strands or use as an overnight mask. Always patch test if your skin is acne-prone. And if you would like tailored guidance based on your skin or hair type, feel free to contact us our expert team, or read our blog’s detailed articles and take our free online skin test to refine your choices.

Expert Tip for Shea Butter

"Whether your skin feels dry, irritated or in need of extra care, shea butter is a reliable way to restore hydration and comfort. Use a shea butter body lotion or balm daily to protect your skin barrier, or apply it to targeted dry areas as needed. In your haircare routine, try a shea butter mask or leave-in to soften coarse strands and smooth frizz. It’s a multi-use ingredient that fits seamlessly into both your skincare and haircare rituals."

Frequently Asked Questions

What does shea butter do for the skin?

Shea butter is an emollient that helps hydrate the skin, repair the barrier and calm irritation. It’s rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E, which support smoothness and elasticity.

Can I use shea butter on sensitive skin?

Yes. Shea butter is naturally soothing and suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types. It’s often used in products for eczema, psoriasis and post-sun care.

Is shea butter good for eczema or dry patches?

Absolutely. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for reducing discomfort and replenishing moisture in dry, flaky areas.

What is the difference between raw and refined shea butter?

Raw shea butter is unprocessed and may retain a natural scent and deeper colour. Refined shea butter is filtered and odourless but still offers many of the same skin benefits.

Does shea butter clog pores?

Shea butter is considered non-comedogenic for most skin types, though those with oily or acne-prone skin may prefer using it in moderation or in body products.

Can I use shea butter on my face?

Yes, though it’s typically better suited to dry or mature skin. For facial use, look for formulas where shea butter is blended with lighter ingredients for a more balanced finish.

How does shea butter benefit hair?

In haircare, shea butter helps condition dry strands, smooth frizz and nourish the scalp. It’s often found in masks, leave-ins or styling creams for added softness and manageability.

Can shea butter help with a dry scalp?

Yes. Its moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties can soothe itching and restore comfort to a dry or flaky scalp.

Is shea butter suitable for all hair types?

Shea butter works particularly well for curly, coily or dry hair types, helping to lock in moisture and define texture without weighing hair down.

Can I use shea butter in summer or after sun exposure?

Definitely. Shea butter helps calm sun-stressed skin and supports barrier repair, making it a great post-sun ingredient.
