Can Shea Butter Be Used as a Moisturizer?
Can Shea Butter Be Used as a Moisturizer?
Short answer, Absolutely.
Shea butter is one of the best natural moisturizers available. It’s packed with fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and antioxidants that nourish the skin and help lock in moisture. For people with dry or sensitive skin, shea butter can be a game-changer.
What Makes Shea Butter So Moisturizing?
Shea butter contains:
-
Oleic, stearic, and linoleic acids – which help soften the skin and improve its barrier.
-
Vitamins A & E – for soothing and healing benefits.
-
Natural emollients – that trap moisture and keep skin hydrated longer.
Unlike water-based lotions that evaporate quickly, shea butter forms a protective layer on the skin, giving long-lasting hydration.

How to Use Shea Butter as a Moisturizer
You can use shea butter directly on the skin or choose a whipped formulation that makes application easier. We recommend applying it right after a shower, while your skin is still damp, to help seal in moisture.

Why TERRA-TORY Shea Butters Stand Out
At TERRA-TORY, we don’t use coconut oil or palm oil—just raw, cold-pressed shea butter blended with nourishing plant-based oils like hempseed, avocado, and rice bran oil. Our butters are ideal for pregnant women, dry skin warriors, and anyone looking for clean, minimal ingredients.
Real Skin, Real Results
Our customers say they use our body butters as:
-
Daily moisturizers for dry hands and feet
-
Soothing balms during pregnancy
-
Post-shower rituals to feel calm and grounded
