What does shea butter do to your skin?

Shea butter is so rich in concentrations of vitamins and fatty acids that it’s one of the most effective natural moisturizers for dry skin. It softens and calms skin of all types and helps replenish hydration and maintain the skin’s moisture barrier. Use it regularly during the cold season to prevent or treat roughness, scaly patches, and extreme dryness.

Is Alaffia shea butter real?
