Pure Ugandan Shea nut body butter is rich in vitamins A and D and leaves a satin smooth finish on the skin. Shea nut butter can be used as an after shower moisturizer all over the body. A dime size drop can be applied to hair as a styling agent or apply more for a deep leave in treatment for dry and damaged hair. Shea nut butter is a wonderful massage lubricant as it works deep into the tissue to repair skin damaged from dryness, cuts, old scars and over-exposure due to outdoor elements. It is also used as a personal lubricant. We recommend using Unscented for this application as certain essential oils in our flavored butters may cause irritation to the vaginal tissue. Use your own discretion. Enjoy our Bodacious body butter flavors: Amber, Cedar-Rosewood, Ginger-Lemongrass, Lavender, Patchouli, Rosemary-Jojoba, St. John's Wort, Sweet Orange, Unscented, Vanilla Lace, Wild Yam, Winter Green, Ylang-Ylang.
Shea
Nut Butter StoryThe Shea tree grows wild in the West African savanna area such as Ghana, Burkina Fasso, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Uganda and Mali. The tree can grow up to 20-25 meters (average 60 feet) and have a deep root system as large as their growth (60 feet). This enables the Shea Nut tree to withstand long periods of drought. The first fruit is produced after 8-12 years and the maximum yield is attained when the tree is 40 years old. The tree can bear fruit for up to 160 years. Each tree provides around 50 KG (over 100 lbs) of fruit annually. The fruits are harvested by natives (local village women) from May to August. Shea trees are an important resource for West Africa. The local people have used Shea Nut Butter for hundreds of years as cooking fat, for medical purposes, cosmetics and protection against sun and inclement weather. Shea Nut Butter contains healthy amounts of Vitamin A and D. Shea Nut Butter has been recognized for its intrinsic properties for beauty care.
"I am a teacher and therapist in
the massage profession. I started using Jade and Pearl's Bodacious Body Butter
about six months ago. It has become my favorite lubricant both for my professional
sessions as well as for moisturizing my own body. The ingredients are healthy,
the product goes a long way in its application and it seems to be hypoallergenic
naturally. I teach at a number of schools in this country and have been sharing
this product with my students. I have found an overwhelming appreciation of
this body butter product as a healthy and economical massage lubricant. I am
quite pleased with all of the Jade and Pearl products I have used which include
a number of their tinctures and herbal teas. Because I live near this company,
I have visited the site and met Gloria. I am quite pleased with her personal
ethics and philosophy regarding business. I feel very confident in the quality
of these products and that is my greatest priority as a customer. I highly recommend
Jade and Pearl products."
