Shea Butter & Rosehip oil – a perfect combination

by Rio Rosa Mosqueta on February 16, 2012

Here at Rio Rosa Mosqueta, we have a great respect for Mother Nature. Some of the world’s finest skin remedies are derived from natural sources that are kind, gentle and complement our skin perfectly. Our new organic, anti-ageing Day & Night Cream is no exception and contains an abundance of skin-boosting, plant-based ingredients that will help to repair your skin from within.

We thought you might like to know a little more about each ingredient in our new Day & Night Cream, to help you understand its benefits and how it can be incorporated into your beauty regime.

So, this month, we are focussing on Shea Butter, which is extracted from the nut of the African Shea Tree. The Shea Butter we use is cold pressed and from the West African country, Burkin Faso. Its extracted using 100% natural methods so you can rest assured it does not contain any chemicals, synthetic ingredients or additives – perfect if you have sensitive skin.

Shea Butter is an emollient butter that is very rich in texture, used by people throughout the world to soothe dryness and replenish the natural oils found in our skin. Most of you will have used a Shea Butter moisturiser before and noticed just how velvety your skin feels afterwards, without a greasy residue.

The benefits of Shea Butter don’t stop there. It has remarkable soothing and healing properties that can help to rejuvenate your skin. High in essential fatty acids, Shea Butter is extremely effective in improving skin elasticity. This also helps to generate new skin cells, fading the appearance of scars and fine lines. Shea Butter and Rosa Mosqueta rosehip oil is a powerful, natural combination that deeply nourishes your skin and combats the signs of ageing, which is why we have included both ingredients in our organic, anti-ageing Day & Night Cream.

Shea Butter also acts as an anti-inflammatory, so can be used to calm irritated skin such as eczema or psoriasis – this particular property makes Shea Butter a fantastic sun burn treatment too.

If you’re a natural beauty and love Shea Butter, you will love our Day & Night Cream and its unique combination of ingredients. If you have already tried it, let us know what you think by commenting below.
