    What is shea butter good for?

    1. The vitamin A in shea butter promotes collagen synthesis, while the triterpenoid lupeol inhibits matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, reducing collagen degradation.
    2. An anti-inflammatory ingredient in sunscreen products. In sunscreens, shea butter, as an oily base, not only enhances the stability of sunscreens but also reduces the irritation of chemical sunscreens.
    3. Soothing after-sun effects. The cinnamic acid derivatives it contains absorb UVB rays, reducing UV-induced erythema and free radical damage.
    4. For beauty products. In lipsticks and lip care products, shea butter imparts a smooth texture, prevents moisture loss, and provides long-lasting moisturization.
    5. As a food ingredient. Shea butter can be used in baked goods, chocolate, candy, ice cream or other snacks.
