Tired of the Itch? How Unrefined Shea Butter Calms Eczema Naturally
Living with eczema is a frustrating, often painful, cycle: intense itchiness, followed by redness, inflammation, and a dry, damaged skin barrier that just can't seem to heal.
Many over-the-counter creams can sting, and steroid creams aren't always a long-term solution. For those seeking a natural, gentle, and truly effective alternative, generations have turned to one of Africa's most potent healers: Raw, Unrefined Shea Butter.
But how can this simple butter be so effective against such a stubborn condition? It works in three powerful ways.
1. It’s a Natural Anti-Inflammatory
The itch is the worst part of eczema. It's a sign of inflammation. Unrefined shea butter is rich in natural anti-inflammatory compounds, including cinnamic acid and lupeol cinnamate. When applied to irritated skin, these compounds can significantly calm the inflammation, reducing the redness, swelling, and that maddening urge to scratch.
2. It Repairs Your Skin's Damaged Barrier
At its core, eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a condition of a damaged skin barrier. Your skin's natural "wall" is compromised, allowing moisture to escape (causing dryness) and irritants to get in (causing flare-ups).
Nubiana's 100% Pure African Shea Butter is both an:
-
Emollient: Its fatty acids (like oleic and stearic acid) sink deep to replenish the "mortar" between your skin cells, actively repairing the barrier.
-
Occlusive: It creates a breathable, protective seal over your skin, locking in vital moisture and, just as importantly, blocking out external irritants and allergens.
3. It's 100% Pure and Gentle
What's not in your shea butter is just as important as what is. Our unrefined shea butter is a single, pure ingredient.
It contains:
-
NO fragrances
-
NO harsh alcohols
-
NO chemical preservatives
-
NO steroids
This means it won't sting or burn when applied to sensitive, cracked skin. It is one of the safest, gentlest emollients you can use, even for babies and children.
How to Use Shea Butter for Eczema Relief
-
The Damp Skin Rule: After a lukewarm (not hot!) shower, gently pat your skin so it's still slightly damp.
-
Warm to Melt: Warm a generous amount of shea butter between your palms until it melts.
-
Press & Seal: Gently press and smooth the shea butter onto all affected areas. Don't rub aggressively. This will lock in the water and create a "second skin" that protects and heals.
-
Re-apply: Apply as needed throughout the day to calm an itch, but always apply as your main layer at night.
The Gentle Path to Calm Skin
Stop fighting your skin and start healing it. With the pure, anti-inflammatory power of unrefined shea butter, you can soothe the itch and rebuild your skin's natural defenses.
