Azmera offers a wide variety of shea butter products that are organically designed to provide smooth skin and hair. But where does this all-natural moisturizer come from? Shea butter has been around for hundreds of years, but North Americans are just starting to take advantage of the benefits it provides. In this blog, we will discuss the history of shea butter, as well as the different ways that you can use it
to live a happier and healthier life!

Where Did Shea Butter Come From?

Azmera is proud of the authentic African products that we offer. One of the most popular choices is our Shea Body Butter and Shea Hand Creams. Few people know that shea butter is grown from the seeds of the Shea Tree, which is found in the Eastern and Western tropical regions of Africa. Although the use of this product is quite new in North America, Africans have been reaping the benefits of shea butter for centuries. We are excited to introduce this rejuvenating product to more people and expand the culture of African made products.

Shea Butter For Your Skin

Can You Use Shea Butter in Your Hair?

Shea butter is often thought of as a moisturizer for skin, but it also has natural properties that help keep the moisture in your hair, preventing split ends and coarse hair. The shea butter also moisturizes the scalp, promoting healthier
hair growth and reducing dandruff caused by dry skin on the scalp. 

Other Uses of Shea Butter

Raw shea butter has historically been used in cooking, as it contains a variety of vitamins and healthy fats. It is also an entirely vegan option for including in recipes, as the extract comes from seeds and not animals. From moisturizers, to the kitchen, and even to natural deodorizers, shea butter has plenty of unique uses. 

There are many benefits of shea butter and Azmera is always looking to add more unique skin care and hair care products to our collection.
