"I’ve been using this for a week on my child’s atopic eczema. I feel like the eczema has evened out and is no longer as bad as before using shea butter. I will continue buying it for my child." – Jenna A.

"My baby’s bottom and thigh folds started to redden during the summer, and even after a week, talc and zinc cream didn’t help. I applied shea butter for two days, and the problem disappeared immediately! Highly recommended!!" – Hanna K.

"I bought this product to treat keratosis pilaris bumps. Works well in combination with salt soap and for general skincare." – Minna K.

"My child's red, atopic eczema calmed down after just a few uses! It also wonderfully softens the soles of the feet and repairs chapped lips." – Elina L.

"Amazing, deeply moisturizing balm that my atopic eczema-prone skin has loved. Also, a big plus for not containing limonene, which doesn’t suit me." – Jenna T.

"A fantastic and the best balm! Shea butter leaves a wonderfully soft feel on the skin, and only a thin layer is needed. It also helped with blackheads after starting to use it. A lifesaver for dry hair ends too." – Riina W.

Deeply Moisturizing and Skin-Healing Shea Butter

One of the most significant benefits of shea butter is its anti-aging effect. It contains triterpenes, which prevent collagen breakdown and help maintain skin elasticity. Triterpenes also reduce the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful.

Shea butter is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Its plant esters help soothe the skin and may relieve symptoms of irritation, making it an excellent ingredient for sensitive skin.

What is Shea Butter?

Shea butter, particularly unrefined and organic, is one of the most powerful skincare ingredients. Saaren Taika uses only high-quality Ghanaian shea butter, known for its effectiveness and superior benefits compared to refined alternatives.

Our certified organic shea butter is handcrafted by women’s cooperatives in Ghana, ensuring both ethical sourcing and exceptional quality.

The Benefits of Shea Butter for Skin

Shea butter is rich in saturated fatty acids, including stearic, oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids, which deeply hydrate the skin and protect it from external stressors. This makes it particularly beneficial for dry and irritated skin. Additionally, shea butter is a natural source of antioxidants, containing phenols and polyphenols, which protect the skin from free radicals and help reduce signs of aging.

Shea butter’s healing compounds, such as triterpenes, are key to its powerful properties. These compounds stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This means that shea butter is not just a moisturizer—it actively supports skin health and youthfulness.

Why Choose Unrefined Shea Butter?

When shea butter is refined, valuable components like tocopherols (vitamin E) and sterols are significantly reduced. The refining process also removes essential phenolic compounds, which weakens shea butter’s antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Key healing elements such as phenols and catechins are lost in refined versions, reducing shea butter’s ability to fight bacteria and fungi. Unrefined shea butter retains these compounds, providing superior protection and care for your skin.

Shea Butter for Atopic Skin, Eczema, and Psoriasis

Unrefined shea butter also contains squalene, lanosterol, and amyrin, which are rarely found in other plant oils. These compounds have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, making shea butter particularly beneficial for atopic skin, eczema, and psoriasis.

Shea butter’s moisturizing ability comes from its fatty acid composition, with linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids being the key ingredients that restore skin hydration. These fatty acids absorb quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy feel. They rebuild the skin’s lipid barrier, protecting against external stressors and preventing dryness.

How to Use Shea Butter

Shea butter can be used on the face, hands, feet, and body, even for newborns and infants. It is also highly beneficial for dry hair, particularly for moisturizing split ends.
