Shea butter is a seed fat that comes from the Shea tree. The Shea tree is found in East and West tropical Africa. The Shea butter comes from two oily kernels within the Shea tree seed. After the kernel is removed from the seed, it is ground into a powder and boiled in water. The butter then rises to the top of the water and becomes solid.
Shea butter works like an emollient. It might help soften or smooth dry skin. Shea butter also contains substances that can reduce skin swelling. This might help treat conditions associated with skin swelling such as eczema.
