Does shea butter fade or lighten scars caused by acne? What are the benefits of shea butter? Thank you!?

Yes, Shea Butter is for scars. It fades away burn marks, spots on the skin, scars, old scars, stretched marks, old stretch marks and keloids. It is for the treatment of dark spots, blemishes and skin discolorations.








Shea Butter is only found in the tropics of Africa. It is extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree. It is irremovable fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties and makes it far superior to cocoa butter and other vegetable butters.


Shea Butter is solid at room temperature although it quickly liquefies right around body temperature.





Shea Butter nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy. They are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin. They help prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator. It soothes rough, dry or chapped skin and helps soften dry or damaged hair. Shea Butter is high in unsaponifiables (a type of fat). Shea Butter has between 7-12% unsaponifiables. For comparison, avocado oil, a well known skin conditioner, has between 2-6%. This high level of unsaponifiables is one of the properties that makes Shea Butter so invaluable in treating the conditions listed above. Also, Shea Butter easily penetrates the skin allowing the skin to breathe and not clogging pores. Shea Butter has a high level of cinnamic acid, a natural sun screen. So, it provides some degree of protection from the sun.

It will keep your skin smooth and soft especially during the winter months coming ahead.
It didn't work for me, but everyone is different. You could try it.
