I wanted to create something
that’s moisturizing and awesome, that utilizes all the great qualities of both
shea butter and aloe vera. Shealoe is a combination of Aloe Vera Juice and Shea
Butter. It contains a small amount of
emulsifier and a preservative. And that’s it!
This cream is medium-thick in viscosity, has a thick but fluffy texture.
Shealoe can be used as an emollient base for other creations or as a
stand-alone emollient cream.
Shea butter
High concentrations of fatty
acids and vitamins make shea butter an ideal cosmetic ingredient for softening
skin. Shea butter has been proven to have anti-inflammatory properties. This
butter contains oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids that protect and
nourish the skin to prevent drying. With long-term use, many people report skin
softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.
Shea butter nourishes the skin
with Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E maintain the skin and keep it clear
and healthy. They are particularly helpful for sun-damaged skin and to help
prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. The Vitamin A in shea butter is
important for improving skin conditions, including blemishes, wrinkles, eczema,
and dermatitis. Vitamin F acts as a protector and rejuvenator soothing rough
dry or chapped skin and helps soften dry or damaged hair. Additionally, shea
butter has properties that treat skin allergies, insect bites, sunburn and
frostbite.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera contains antioxidants,
enzymes, Vitamins A and C, and it is highly anti-inflammatory. It can help
treat burns, acne and dry skin. Aloe Vera can also be used on the hair to treat
dandruff by rubbing it into your hair and scalp.
Aloe vera also contains compounds
called polysaccharides that encourage skin repair. Because aloe vera is mostly
water, it helps to hydrate the skin without that post-application greasy
feeling. It helps lock moisture into the skin, while also acting as glue that
makes the top layer of skin cells stick together, ultimately smoothing and
softening your skin. Besides having serious antibacterial abilities, aloe vera
contains salicylic acid, which is an exfoliant that helps to unclog pores,
making it especially helpful if you deal with pimples and blackheads. Aloe
stimulates fibroblast activity, which creates collagen production that makes
the skin less wrinkled and more elastic. Prevent (and maybe even fade) dark
spots.
By inhibiting tyrosinase
activity, Aloe Vera is capable of suppressing UV-induced hyperpigmentation and
the skin-damaging effects of sunburns.
The mixture of shea butter and aloe vera contributes
multiple benefits to your skin. This is truly a product for anyone: man, woman,
or child. With so many uses you don’t want to miss the benefits.
How to use:
Apply a dime-sized amount to skin. Add more as necessary. Please
note - a little goes a long way!
Daily Moisturizer: Massage into wet or dry skin daily, for
ultra-softening results.
Use after shower on damp skin. It’s especially good during
cold season.
Use as makeup remover: Massage your face with the Shealoe cream,
for at least a solid minute, before wiping it off with cotton balls or pads,
and rinse if desired.
Use as the ultimate restorative foot and hand treatment. Apply
a generous amount of Shealoe to hands & feet and sleep with gloves and
socks on. The ultra-softening and repairing will work its “magic” as you sleep.
Use as a lip mask/balm. Apply thick layer on your lips. I
usually do it before makeup and after I finish all face, my lips are ready for
lipstick. Or you can apply Shealoe overnight.
Are you an expectant or new mother? Shealoe can quickly heal
stretch marks and dry skin. It also reduces old scars. In addition, it heals
sore and cracked nipples.
Baby’s skin: Relieves diaper rash and prevents skin
irritation on baby’s skin.
Use as an after-sun care to soothe and rehydrate the skin.
For hair, it can be used as a lubricant to massage the scalp
(for the purpose of promoting hair growth), a twisting butter, styling cream,
etc. Great for medium and high Porosity hair, avoid if you have low porosity
hair. For detangling: apply to wet/damp sectioned hair before styling.
For man: Use as shaving cream for a smooth silky shave and
after shaving to prevent razor bumps and rashes.
Will not clog pores and is safe and beneficial for all ages
and skin types.
Shealoe Cream contains small amount emulsifiers (derived
from vegetable oils) and a preservative and that’s it! Very simple and very
effective!
