feet tall, the Shea tree does not flower before it is 20 years old and
can live up to 200 years. The Shea nuts are traditionally harvested by

all of these problems vanish and bring your skin back into life and

choose Shea butter over over powerful anti-aging skin care products
like Wild Musk Rose oil, or Argan oil during the cold and sunny
seasons. Shea butter is also one of the best skin care for winter and after-sun
care. It provides the extra moisture, vitamins, nutrients and
protection your skin needs during the cold season and summertime. It

dry weather and keep them beautiful.
Since Shea butter is all natural and so rich and moisturizing, it is
ideal for baby care. It is natural, gentle and soft for every type of
skin, but it is specially adapted for the delicate and sensitive skin
of babies. It is perfect for after bath skin care and as a healer in
case of eczema or diaper rash for babies and kids. African women have
used it for millennia to protect and nourish their babies' skin. Using
pure Shea butter on your baby guarantees you of a totally natural and
chemical-free skin care. Given that lots of baby care products contain
toxic chemicals, Shea butter is the best ally for eco-conscious moms.
