Raw Shea: Africa's Miracle Plant PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo., July 5, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Raw shea butter, thickened oil extracted from the nut of the Shea tree, is an extremely versatile product containing both carotene and alantoin for excellent moisturizing, soothing, anti-aging, and healing. Made on the savannah in Africa, women of the region have used raw shea for centuries to combat Africa's brutal sun and wind.
A significant use of raw shea is as an anti-aging treatment. In a six-month anti-aging study performed by F. Renard, 30 participants used raw shea as a daily moisturizer. Within weeks, the dull complexion of most participants had vanished, and smoother, clearer skin appeared. Wrinkles caused by prolonged sun exposure visibly diminished for half of the participants. Because of shea's unique ability to reactivate collagen synthesis, by the study's conclusion evident skin regeneration had occurred in all participants.
Anti-aging is one of numerous conditions raw shea remedies, othersinclude: Dry skin Rashes Peeling after tanning Blemishes Itching Skin cracks Wound healing time Scarring Sunburn Insect bites Rough skin Frostbite Chapped lips Muscle ache
However, not all shea is created equal. Most consumers don't realize a refining process is typically used to make shea butter. According to Lynne Killey, founder of Queen Bee skin care, "Refining shea removes essential fatty acids, valuable proteins and minerals. Raw shea is significantly richer in vitamins and UV absorbing factors than its' refined counterpart."
Raw shea lotion bars and tubs can be purchased from Queen Bee. The most popular Queen Bee raw shea product is the Tub O' Raw Shea, a $26.00, 4oz jar of 100% unrefined shea butter, with nothing else added. Queen Bee raw shea is sourced from a U.S company that directly teaches sustainable farming and eco-friendly handling of shea to the women of Nasia, a village in Northern Ghana.
