"Some of the poorest women in Africa have something that American women want.
It's called shea butter, comes from West Africa and is said to have magic moisturising properties to create excellent anti-wrinkle creams, lip balm, stretch-mark ointments and soothing nappy rash lotions.
The market is expected to boom as demand for natural and organic beauty products gathers pace, and the growth potential is significant enough for Washington DC to host its very own shea butter conference this week. Representatives from Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Ghana and Senegal have all travelled there to find out how to satisfy the demands of America's cash-rich beauty firms."
DID YOU KNOW Shea takes just a little longer to absorb into the skin because it has virtually no water in it! But the skin accepts it unreservedly, and absorbs it. It absorbs all of it and the healing deep moisturising begins.
DID YOU KNOW That the main ingredients in many skin care products is WATER (Aqua), sometimes up to 70%. Its used to make it easier to blend the various ingredients. But high quantities of water is unnecessary. Even when the ingredients are natural they can consist of mainly water - watch out for the water being the first listed ingredient. Water is good for the skin but not as a moisturiser as it evaporate in seconds after applying it to the body. Drink it instead!
* There is a rare possibility for people who have a latex allerrgy to react to shea usually on the face only (weird), as it has in small part a latex like property. Latex is a natual product from the rubber plant. But people can have an allergy to almost anything. It is also worth noting that shea should be pure. and unrefined because the reaction could actually be coming from the chemical processing of some shea.DO SEE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
