Morning Cream African Shea & AloeVera

Aloe vera and Shea butter. Two natural and abundant ingredients. When combined, they serve as the ideal solution to protecting, smoothing and hydrating the skin. 

KEY BENEFITS OF ALOE VERA:

First, a look into the beneficial properties of the succulent, aloe. Typically, aloe is known for its healing abilities. The herbal substance is largely used within the health and beauty industry to promote healthy skin, both internally and externally. 

Some of the key benefits of aloe vera for the skin are: 

- Heals minor burns, sunburn and cuts
- Hydrates and enhances the hydration of the skin
- Soothes inflamed skin
- Balances excess oil in the skin
- Supports skin's immune system 

Shea is a powerful component within the beauty and skin industry. A non-comedogenic that doesn't contain any chemical irritants or allergens. Pure organic goodness that works to benefit the skin from head to toe. 

Some of the key benefits of shea butter for the skin are: 

- Boosts skin's moisture 
- Contains anti-inflammatory properties 
- Features antioxidants that help early signs of ageing 
- Able to protect sun damaged skin 

BETTER TOGETHER - ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES :

Antioxidants are hard-working substances that are found in many skincare and body care products. Not only do they protect the skin cells against free radicals - which is the number one ageing culprit - they also promote healthier, brighter skin with a more even complexion. Furthermore, antioxidants have the power to keep the skin looking youthful whilst refining lines and wrinkles. 

The role of the antioxidant in aloe vera comes from the gel of the aloe plant. Aloe gel contains vitamin A alongside C and E. The vitamin A is specifically great at refining the texture of the skin. 

Similarly, the levels of vitamin A and E in shea butter promotes strong antioxidant activity. This stimulates collagen production and improves the elasticity of the skin. 

Therefore, a combination of shea butter and aloe vera for skin is one that results in allowing the skin to be free of radical damage. Therefore, by implementing a natural blend of aloe and shea or using a moisturiser that contains both, the overall quality of the skin will become a lot healthier.

As well as having the power to combat the quality of the skin, aloe vera and shea butter benefits the skin with its anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation of the skin occurs for many reasons. For example, immune system dysfunction, allergic reactions and infections. Common symptoms of skin inflammation are a rash, redness and itching. 

The pure aloe gel from the leaf of the aloe plant is rich in vitamins that have skin healing and cooling properties. Therefore, making it a great substance for inflamed skin. 

Likewise, the plant esters (compounds found in plant cells) of shea butter also contain anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to the skin, shea enables the inflammatory cells to slow their production. Therefore, the irritation caused by inflammation is lessened. 

Simply applying a concoction of aloe gel and raw shea onto the skin can soothe minor burns, insect bites and rashes. Also, soothe the irritation caused by skin conditions such as eczema and even acne.
