What are the benefits of soap made with shea butter?

Shea butter is not a recent discovery. It has been used for centuries in many parts of Africa. Natural shea butter contains lots of Vitamin A,  Vitamin E and Vitamin F. It has been reported that shea butter can improve a variety of skin conditions, most notably dry and chapped skin, eczema and dermatitis.

It is said that Vitamin A balances and normalizes the skin. It has has soothing and hydrating properties which will keep skin soft and healthy and used to prevent premature wrinkles, premature facial lines and premature slackened skin

The high levels of Vitamin E contained in shea butter are thought to possess anti-aging properties. The Vitamin E in shea butter acts as an anti-free radical agent, which increases circulation under the skin surface and minimizes the effects of sun damage.

Vitamin F is known as a skin protector. It can help sooth rough, dry skin with its naturally occuring three essential fatty acids: linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids.

Why buy olive oil based soap?

Olive oil soap is very mild, cleans your skins well, and lasts a long time. The health benefits of olive oil are many. Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, is antimicrobial and is a natural emollient. It contains oleic acid which is a natural skin regenerator that makes your skin soft and supple. Vitamin E helps your skin heal. Squalene permits your skin to retain moisture and also nourishes and protects your skin. Olive oil based soap is very useful for those with dry and sensitive skin.  The polyphenols in olive oils protect against oxidative stress. These polyphenols also assist in reducing free radicals related to sun-based skin damage.

Olive oil soap has been around for thousands of years. Like all fats and oils, olive oil is transformed into soap by the addition of lye. Years of experimentation have produced soap that retains the health benefits of the olive oil while adding in other ingredients that have increased the usefulness and nourishment value of the soap.

Olive oil can be combined with other natural and wholesome ingredients to create wonderful healthy soaps. When honey is added, the result is a super moisturizing soap. Lavender can be added to increase the antiseptic properties and provide a soothing scent. Another common combination is olive oil and green tea which create a soap that is rich in antioxidants and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
