Benefits of Unrefined Shea butter in Lipsaver lipbalms and lotions

Benefits of Unrefined Shea Butter
There are numerous benefits of Shea butter, and there are different kinds. I
use unrefined Shea butter since it retains all its beneficial properties, and
no chemicals or preservatives unlike processed Shea takes out the yellow
color and scent along with 75% of active ingredients and benefits as shown
in research.
Undefined shea is full of antioxidants, and vitamins A,E, and F also healthy
fatty acids and phyto nutrients.
There are differences in country of origin as well, between East and West
Africa.
So my Lipsaver lipbalms, and balms, lotions, and salves contain unrefined
Shea retaining all beneficial properties, it does have a slight yellow color
and odor.
It is considered a tree nut.
The one I just sourced is from West Africa, a much higher content of
vitamin A than East Africa shea and good for scars, blemishes,wrinkles
,and stretch marks.
