How do you know something works? When it's been around for thousands of years and it's still the go-to solution. Going back as far as the days of Cleopatra, Shea Butter has been extracted from the nut of the Shea tree in West Africa and used as a cosmetic and therapeutic skin care lotion. And now this rich, super nourishing ingredient is available to you through Palmer's Raw Shea Body Lotion. On its own, Shea Butter is a building block for softer, radiant skin. But Shea is only part of the magic that is Palmer's Body Lotion. It also includes marula oil, oatmeal, grapeseed oil and Vitamin E to help seal in moisture, calm irritation and give skin a youthful, radiant glow. Combined together, this is a premium, all-natural and all-over-body lotion that heals and helps skin. The Shea Butter alone provides so many benefits to the skin. Known to be a "skin superfood", Shea butter nourishes skin to promote clarity and addresses problems such as dryness, blemishes, dark spots, discolorations and stretch marks. It even tackles wrinkles without clogging pores. Free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, gluten, sulfates and dyes, the lotion contains a high level of unsaponifiable, antioxidant-rich emollients that help reverse skin dehydration. Simply squeeze a portion into the hand and rub it in the palms for easy application to the hands, arms, legs and face, the same way other lotions are applied. This Body Lotion practically melts into the skin, locking in moisture to protect and heal damaged skin. Safe to use head to toe, Palmer's heals and softens damaged skin everywhere and for everyone. The lotion is so effective, it's approved and recommended to help improve the appearance of stretch marks while keeping skin soft and toned while the belly expands. So effective, Palmer's helps heal skin and soften the areas around acne pits and scars as well as aiding in the reduction of inflammation. After one try, you'll realize why Palmer's is every woman's private dermatologist and their Raw Shea Body Lotion is a skin secret that's passed on from generation to generation. This is an 8.5 oz. bottle of Palmer's Raw Shea Body Lotion. Palmer's is safe to use multiple times a day as needed. A terrific and recommended treatment for common skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The Shea Lotion shouldn't be used by itself as a sunscreen. However, it does offer some added sun protection, so layering it over your sunscreen is recommended. A 2016 study from the National Institute of Health suggested that Shea oil concentrates can help reduce the inflammation that causes arthritis while also protecting joints from further damage. Palmer's Original Solid Cocoa Butter Formula is proudly made in the USA, is ethically traded and sustainably produced.
