SHEA BUTTER AND COCONUT OIL A MIRACLE BEAUTIFUL SKIN



More and more people are becoming aware of the therapeutic advantages of high-quality tropical oils for a healthy body. And coconut oil is one of the oils making waves. Coconut oil is high in lauric acid and has anti-fungal and hydrating effects. It is light, silky, and has a subtle coconut fragrance. The two plant oils work nicely well with each other together to hydrate and cure the skin when combined with raw African shea butter.

Shea butter as some of you may recall has a high amount of oleic acid. This fatty acid is crucial for deep hydration and long-lasting protection. This oleic acid level is also essential for shea butter's distinct thick and buttery feel.

Coconut oil is distinct in that it includes a high concentration of lauric acid, which has potent antibacterial capabilities. Because shea butter is also used to aid in the elimination and treatment of skin infections, combining these two plant oils will result in an intriguing and vital botanical oil mix, This mixture not only moisturizes and guards the bodies, but may also be used to relieve the signs of bacterial, yeast, and fungal infections, which cause itching, burning, and unattractive flaking and peeling. The integration of these two oils yields a balm with a lovely scent and texture. Here's a fast and simple DIY recipe for shea butter and coconut oil therapeutic body butter.

The following is the recipe:

1/2 cup unrefined African shea butter

1/8–1/4 cup virgin coconut oil

Chosen essential oil(s) (if desired)
