Shea butter has been used for centuries by mothers on themselves and their babies. The best way to use shea butter is in its natural form, which is unrefined and without additives. That’s how we keep our organic shea butter as well. 

Shea Butter for Mothers During and After Pregnancy

During the maternity stage, a mother’s skin is under a lot of stress. The most visible consequence of this stress is stretch marks. And if you are a mum-to-be, you may have heard of the effectiveness of shea butter for stretch marks. But you can use it in so many ways. Let’s explore these. 

Diminish Stretch Marks and Scar Formation 

During pregnancy, your skin needs to grow quickly to make room for the growing baby. This quick growth can tear your dermis, the inner layer of your skin. 

Stretch marks can appear as thin, lighter-colored bruises. They are inevitable in all women who go through pregnancy and changes in weight. And of course, they make you no less beautiful. 

Shea butter can help with diminishing the appearance of stretch marks and prevent a greater number of them from developing. This property is due to the rich nutritional profile that shea butter has. 

Also, shea butter can minimize the rate at which keloid fibroblasts divide. As a result, it helps in preventing and diminishing the appearance of scars. 

Perineal Massage

Did you know about 85% of women will experience a form of perineal trauma during childbirth. Perineal massages should be performed from week 34, this will reduce the chances of you tearing during labour. However using our 'Natural Shea Butter' will further reduce the likelihood of tearing. It contains vitamin F which supports and maintains skin's elasticity allowing for a smooth and tear-free delivery.  

Reduces Cellulite Formation 

Shea butter can boost collagen production. Collagen not only keeps your skin supple and dewy, but it is crucial for reducing cellulite. Another property that helps with this process is that shea butter induces cell regeneration and reduces the destruction of collagen fibre. 

Postpartum Hair Loss

You may have noticed that your hair looked amazing when you were pregnant. But after you had the baby, your hair has lost its lustre and you experience a lot of hair loss. 

You’re not alone. Postpartum hair loss is a common issue that a lot of mothers face. But don’t worry, shea butter is known for hair growth and nourishment. Use it regularly, and you’ll have healthy, strong hair back in no time. 

Other Uses for Mums 

For breastfeeding mums, shea butter can help soothe and heal cracked nipples. It can help ease inflammation and pain. 

Shea Butter for Newborns and Toddlers

Shea butter is completely safe for delicate newborn skin. And it can make all the difference for your toddler’s dry skin problems too. In fact, many doctors recommend pure shea butter for newborns and toddlers. 

Deep Moisturization for Dry Baby Skin

Many people think that a newborn's skin is supple, soft, and plump. But as any mum would know, that assumption is far from the truth. 

A newborn’s skin is quite dry and may even be flaky. This happens because the newborn has to rapidly adjust to life outside the womb. Shea butter helps with this process by providing your baby’s skin with the healing moisture and nutrition it needs. 

Treats Eczema 

Eczema is a common skin condition that many little ones experience. In fact, 1 in 5 children under 2 years old may have eczema. Shea butter is among the best remedies for eczema because it’s safe for delicate baby skin and has potent nutrients. 

Prevent and Heal Skin Problems and Rashes

Shea butter has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. Therefore, it can help in preventing skin problems other than eczema like dermatitis. 

These properties also help in preventing and healing rashes. That’s why doctors recommend shea butter for nappy rash, drool rash, body rash, and more. 

Promotes Hair Growth 

Shea butter will also help with your baby’s hair growth. It can deeply condition their hair and scalp. You can say goodbye to cradle cap too.
