Shea butter has a reputation for being a good moisturizer and emollient because it contains Vitamins A, E and F and because it's easily absorbed into the skin while softening it. Unlike other fats, it doesn't leave behind a greasy or oily residue. Consumers are likely to find products containing shea butter behind cosmetic counters that offer acne, scar, burn, itching, rash, eczema, lip, shaving irritation, dry skin, psoriasis, stretch mark, wrinkle and skin discoloration treatments. It may also be found in products like sunblock because of its natural Ultraviolet (UV) light protection properties.
