If you’re like me, you’d much rather feed your skin natural ingredients than chemicals.

Factually, over 50% of refined personal care products incorporate hazardous substances that assimilate quickly through the skin and which can do us considerable damage. Yuck!

After testing every costly anti-aging skin elixir out there and never seeing much improvement in my skin, I came across unrefined shea butter. It contains nothing other than, well, shea butter. Simply put, it’s completely natural. It’s extracted right from the African shea kernel.

You’ll see how amazing this stuff is the first time you use it. It is marvelously hydrating — dry skin will be gone forever. As will scaly, inflamed, chapped skin. And skin afflicted with eczema, rashes, or stretch marks probably will be markedly improved. Rub it in all over — you can’t overdose.

Here’s another thing: Unrefined shea nut butter, the only kind you want, doesn’t exactly smell terrific. But you know about essential oils, right? I tried them just recently — I didn’t know what I was missing before experimenting with these purely natural, restorative oils! Who would wear artificial fragrances when they can use essential oils? They are so divine, I’d sometimes prefer to inhale pure rose, ginger-orange or patchouli oil than have a gourmet meal.

Consider the serendipity of raw shea butter and essential oils combined. Yum! The product linked below has thirteen scent variations, each blending only raw shea butter and pure essential oils. Let’s use patchouli as an example. The musky, alluring aroma of patchouli is used in eastern countries for general health support and to release negative feelings. Patchouli oil, which has cell-rejuvenating and mood elevating qualities, is extremely beneficial for the skin, which includes enhancing a wrinkled or chapped appearance. Don’t associate the authentic, pure distillate with the cheap artificial horrors of the sixties! And look out — the rich scent of the real essential oil can be addictive!

Unrefined Shea Butter . . . Or, How A Family Solved All Its Tough Skin Problems With One Natural Substance

Caryn and John Stein are both park rangers in Yellowstone National Park, where snow can linger into June, where winter temperatures can hit minus 35, and where Memorial Day can look like a white Christmas. Historically it was a job held only by men; however, today Caryn and John both patrol the park’s boundaries by snowmobile, go on search and rescue missions, and monitor the park’s water plant.

Just Imagine searching for babysitters in the backcountry when it’s -20 degrees and falling! Well, that’s what Caryn and John had to do for their 18 month old, Ari.

The family wouldn’t give up their lifestyle for anything; however, they do have several difficulties. Skin problems top the list. In the extreme winters, both Caryn and John suffer from raw, rough faces, lips and hands. Meanwhile, their son’s skin is so irritated that he nearly scratches it right off his body.

One night in December, Caryn was on the phone, relating the family’s skin issues to her sister, Molly. Molly jumped in and suggested to Caryn that she purchase some raw, unrefined shea nut butter. “You will never use another product on your skin again!”

Obviously, finding shea butter in mid December in Yellowstone was not exactly a piece of cake, so when 2 jars of it arrived in the mail, courtesy of Molly, Caryn was more than happy. A lovely picture decorated both jars of Shea ScentSations shea butter. One contained “Piquant Patchouli Shea Butter,” and the other “Elating Eucalyptus Shea Butter.” Both selections consisted of just unrefined, natural shea butter and 100% pure essential oils.

Before she applied the ivory colored shea butter, Caryn indulged in the bouquets from both jars and basked in the luscious, natural essences. The patchouli was ambrosial, and the eucalyptus was deeply satisfying . Both scents were full, not merely suggestions of the essential oil. Caryn was delighted with the opportunity to treat her skin while also getting aromatherapy.

She knew as soon as she had massaged the creamy substance all over her body that this product was the answer to her family’s skin problems. Her skin soaked it up and demanded more.

A month later, chapped, cracked, red lips, hands and elbows are no longer problems for any of the Steins. Ari’s skin is protected all day with an all-over application of natural shea nut butter. John thoroughly enjoys the eucalyptus, and is looking forward to trying various other scents. Caryn loves the patchouli shea butter, and is ready to try all the essential oil selections.

To her surprise, after beginning to use shea butter, Caryn has found her stretch marks fading. Additionally, she mailed a container of lavender shea butter to her mom, who reported back that it was the most deeply hydrating substance she had ever used on her face, and said her wrinkles were slowly diminishing.

Molly could not have been more right: the Steins will never be without raw shea butter again, and, they won’t ever buy shea butter without the heavenly essential oils.
