July came in hot! I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend if you're here in the US, and that everyone is staying cool, hydrated, and soft.
I'm often asked about which ingredients we use in our products and why. I enjoy educating our community about this, so I thought it would be great to spend time highlighting some of our components. We'll start with shea butter since it's in most of our products and even in our company name Toushea Skincare.
When I select ingredients, I'm always looking for ones that are gentle and nourishing. From the West African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), shea butter continues to be one of my absolute favorites. Rich in fatty acids, it helps relieve dry skin by creating a protective barrier that locks in moisture, leaving skin feeling soft.
Shea butter contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds that may help calm redness and irritation, making it a wonderful choice to soothe dry, chapped skin after prolonged exposure to the sun or other outdoor elements. It's also naturally rich in vitamins A and E —two powerful antioxidants that protect skin cells from free radicals that can lead to premature aging and dull-looking skin.
One reason shea butter is especially close to my heart is its potential to help soothe eczema. Because it's packed with nourishing fatty acids, it can help replenish and protect the skin's natural barrier. Many people also appreciate shea butter for its ability to improve the appearance of stretch marks and scars by supporting healthy, hydrated skin. A few of our products that are packed with this beautiful butter are our body soap, lip balm, and body lotion.
I look forward to sharing info about some of our other ingredients soon. If you're in the Carolinas and would like to experience our products in person, our July events are in the graphic below. Including a new one where we'll be set up from 11a-2p, every Friday starting this week, in the 2nd floor lobby of the Truist Center in Uptown Charlotte!
With softness,
