SHEA BUTTER - THE SUPERFOOD FOR SENSITIVE, IRRITATED SCALP

Everyone dreams of shiny, healthy hair, but unfortunately, this isn’t something we’re born with. Nevertheless, with the use of the right hair care products, we can do more for the health of our hair and scalp than we might think. Oxygeni Hair products are 100% vegan and contain only natural ingredients. One well-known ingredient is shea butter. Let’s talk about the beneficial effects shea butter has on hair. Read the article and learn about the beneficial properties of Shea Butter!

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF SHEA BUTTER?

Shea is a tree that grows in the western part of Africa. The high-fat content butter extracted from the fruit of the Shea tree is the shea butter in question. Its main components are oleic acid, stearic acid, and linolenic acid. It quickly absorbs into the skin as it melts at body temperature. Known for its moisturizing properties, it is found in many beauty products. In addition to its rich fatty acid content, it also contains vitamin E and beta-carotene, which have excellent regenerative and skin-softening effects.

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF SHEA BUTTER

1. TREATS IRRITATED SCALP

A sensitive scalp can be very uncomfortable and bothersome in everyday life. The causes of the symptoms can include the use of inappropriate shampoo or even an unbalanced diet. But pollution or stress can also cause scalp irritation. This is where the beneficial effects of shea butter on hair come into play. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, and because it easily absorbs into the scalp, it ensures moisture retention at the hair roots.

2. PROTECTS AGAINST UV RAYS IN SUMMER

The cinnamic ester found in shea butter prevents skin damage caused by UV radiation. Thanks to this particular cinnamic acid, it also has anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamins A and E protect cells from free radicals and external damage. But raw shea butter is also excellent for treating post-sunburn peeling.

INTERNAL SUPPORT

If you want to maximize the potential of your hair, it’s not enough to just nourish it externally; adequate vitamin and nutrient intake is essential for achieving a beautiful hair crown. These nutrients (vitamins A, E, and F, and essential fatty acids) aid in skin regeneration, reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier. Balanced nutrition can bring significant improvement in the long term to the condition of sensitive and irritated scalp.

WHY WE USE SHEA BUTTER?

Due to the incredible beneficial effects of shea butter on hair, we have incorporated it into our products as well. The mentioned vitamins A and F are beneficial against skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis. Shea butter reduces the symptoms of these conditions on the skin and prevents their recurrence. Additionally, it effectively treats psoriasis. It moisturizes, conditions, and regenerates effectively, making the hair softer and smoother. Thanks to its high vitamin content, it nourishes the scalp and revitalizes the hair strands.
