All Shea Butters are not equally effective

Only high quality premium Shea Butter can offer great health benefits. Once Shea Butter is aged or loses its natural integrity, many of these wonderful benefits are also lost. For example, Shea Butter contains the ingredient cinnamac Acid, a substance very closely related to cinnamon in the kitchen cabinet. The Cinnamic Acid in Premium Shea Butter is mainly bound to to other ingredients.

Shea Butter loses its natural integrity the amount of bounded cinnamic acid decreases and the amount of free or unbounded Cinnamic Acid increases. At the American Shea Butter Institue, they have learned that the reduction in bound Cinnamic Acid correlates well with the loss of clinical effectiveness for healing.

However, Shea Butter that has lost its natural integrity, (i.e. degraded Shea Butter), retains its moisturizing effectiveness. We now know that poor quality Shea Butter is ineffective in healing many of the skin conditions.

This is a new finding and perhaps the single most important finding in the past 10 years in understanding why all Shea Butters were not equally effective.
