Shea tree · Shea butter
Shea butter is the gold standard emollient for dry skin, eczema, stretch marks and hair. Stearic and oleic acids provide deep moisture, while triterpene esters (lupeol, alpha-amyrin) deliver anti-inflammatory activity and tocopherols add antioxidant protection. It is also an edible fat. Leaves and bark are used for inflammation.
