When using shea butter, especially on delicate skin, it’s important to avoid certain ingredients and activities that may reduce its effectiveness or cause irritation. First, steer clear of harsh chemicals like sulfates and parabens, which can strip the skin’s natural oils. These ingredients counteract the moisturizing benefits of shea butter, leading to dryness or sensitivity—something especially important for baby-safe products and skincare for the whole family.
You should also avoid products containing alcohol or synthetic fragrances, as these can irritate sensitive skin and may not align with the non-toxic beauty ethos we hold dear. Stick to natural, gentle alternatives that promote a healthy glow without any compromise on safety.
Lastly, be mindful of activities like excessive sun exposure or hot showers, which can dehydrate the skin. Shea butter works best when applied to slightly damp skin, locking in moisture. So, after a warm (not hot) shower is the perfect time to apply your favorite shea butter-based products.
