Three Ways to Use Shea Butter Beyond Your Elbows

Shea butter is beloved for its dense, comforting texture. Warm a pea-sized amount between your palms before applying so it melts evenly over skin.

Try smoothing a little over the ends of damp hair, pressing it into dry cuticles, or using it as the final layer over lotion on legs and arms. A little goes a long way.

Store your jar out of direct heat and use clean, dry hands or a spatula to keep it fresh.
