What Alps Goodness Says
Product Description:
The Alps Goodness Shea butter is a multitasker at moisturizing skin and dry hair. The rich, decadent creamy butter is a fat derived from the nuts of Shea trees that can moisturize and soften skin and hair. This potent body butter contains 100% pure shea butter and nothing else. Filled with tons of all-stars like fatty acids, vitamins A, D, and E and allantoin, it creates a barrier on skin and hair to prevent water loss, leaving hair and skin softer and smoother. When it comes to hair, Shea Butter helps seal in hydration and smooth rough cuticles, moisturizing dry hair in turn. It is also known to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and may help repair your skin barrier. The versatile butter comes in a handy jar ready for scooping, and its fragrance is all you'll need when you want to sit back and relax.
