FAQ: Shea Butter

🧴 SHEA BUTTER FAQ

“Whipped gold for your skin—and your soul.”

💁♀️ What is Shea Butter anyway?

Shea Butter is like the Beyoncé of butters: rich, smooth, natural, and always stealing the spotlight. It's extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) and has been a skincare staple for centuries. Cleopatra allegedly had vats of it flown in. So yeah, it’s that girl.

🧬 What’s inside that makes it so magical?

Shea Butter is loaded with skin-loving nutrients like:

  • Vitamins A & E – helps brighten, soften, and restore

  • Fatty acids (oleic, stearic, linoleic, palmitic) – deeply moisturizing and anti-inflammatory

  • Plant sterols – calms irritated skin and says “no thanks” to redness

  • Cinnamic acid esters – helps protect from environmental stress

Basically, it's nature’s version of skincare multitasking. No lab coat required.

💅 What can Shea Butter do for MY skin?

Honey. Sit down. Shea Butter does the absolute most, and we are HERE for it:

  • ✅ Soothes irritated or inflamed skin (looking at you, tattoos, sunburn, and razor bumps)

  • ✅ Deeply moisturizes even the thirstiest, crustiest skin

  • ✅ Protects skin’s barrier from dryness and environmental drama

  • ✅ Reduces the appearance of fine lines and scars (hello, glow-up)

  • ✅ Softens elbows, knees, cuticles, feet, and feelings

  • ✅ Safe for all skin types—including sensitive, baby-soft, or grumpy skin

If your skin could talk, it would ask for Shea Butter on tap.

🌱 Is it natural?

Oh, it’s natural natural. Our Shea Butter is unrefined, sustainably sourced, and comes straight from the source. No additives. No synthetic weirdness. Just good, clean moisture from Mother Earth herself.

😍 Is it in Skin 911?

Of course it is! Skin 911 by BeneCeutical practically worships Shea Butter (as we all should). It’s the backbone of the balm—helping:

  • Lock in moisture

  • Calm irritated skin post-ink or post-sun

  • Smooth dry patches like a skincare savior

  • Deliver all that rich, buttery love right where it’s needed

Basically, it’s the base ingredient that makes Skin 911 the GOAT of topicals.

🤔 Is it greasy? Will I feel like a stick of butter?

Not with Skin 911! While raw Shea can feel heavy, we’ve blended it to absorb like a dream, thanks to lightweight companions like grapeseed oil, aloe, and MCT. So you get the hydration without the slip-n-slide.

🚫 Any side effects?

If you're allergic to tree nuts, you may want to do a little patch test first (Shea Butter does come from a nut, after all). But otherwise? It’s one of the gentlest moisturizers out there.

💥 Final Thoughts?

If Shea Butter were a person, it would be the friend who always brings snacks, compliments your outfit, and Venmos you for coffee just because. It’s generous, healing, and makes you feel fabulous.

So when you see “Shea Butter” on a label, know you’re about to treat your skin to a five-star spa moment—with none of the drama.
