Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is a plant lipid from the fruit of the Shea Tree. It is an effective skin hydrator and emollient.

Emollients help soothe and soften your skin. It does this by creating a protective film on your skin. This barrier helps trap moisture and keeps your skin hydrated. Emollients may be effective at treating dry or itchy skin.

Shea butter is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight free-radicals, or molecules that may harm the body. It is also full of fatty acids including stearic acid and linoleic acid. These acids help replenish the skin and keep skin moisturized.

While Shea Butter has an SPF rating of about 3-4, it is not a sunscreen replacement.

Shea butter may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

It does feel nice on the lips, but keep in mind that it's mostly a glorified, really overpriced chapstick. You could just use chapstick. A slightly heavier chapstick will do the exact same thing--my lips did not feel any different the next morning. Personally just like to use a Burts Bees in the PM and it does exactly the same thing, if not better.

It does an amazing job at hydrating my dry-prone lips overnight, but the price is expensive for the quantity.
