Shea butter is wonderfully non-comedogenic, with a comedogenic rating of 0-2 (on a scale of 0-5), making it an excellent choice for all skin types, including acne-prone skin. Unlike some heavier oils and butters, shea butter's unique composition allows it to moisturize deeply without clogging your pores. Our Sweet Vanilla Shea Oil is particularly lightweight and absorbs quickly, delivering nourishment while letting your skin breathe. The natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter can actually help balance oil production and maintain clear, healthy skin. You can confidently apply it to your face and body without worrying about breakouts or blocked pores.

Both shea butter and cocoa butter are excellent natural moisturizers, but shea butter offers unique advantages that make it particularly special. While cocoa butter is known for its rich texture and sweet chocolate scent, shea butter stands out for its exceptional healing properties, thanks to its high concentration of vitamins A and E, along with essential fatty acids. Our Sweet Vanilla Shea Oil is particularly effective for soothing dry, irritated skin and can help improve skin concerns like eczema and dermatitis. Shea butter also has a lighter feel than cocoa butter, absorbing more quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy residue. Plus, its natural vitamin content provides gentle protection against environmental stressors while supporting your skin's natural collagen production – making it an excellent choice for maintaining youthful, resilient skin.
