CAN SHEA OIL REDUCE STRETCH MARKS DURING PREGNANCY?


Shea butter and a bottle of shea oil

Inasmuch as shea oil is physically different from the more popular shea butter, they both have magical effects on all skin types.


Shea oil has been popular for its soothing, softening and protecting properties.


The non-greasy oil contains fatty acids and provides multiple moisturising benefits leaving behind soft, supple skin & hair.


Shea oil is made from Shea nuts sourced from Ghana, West Africa – the home of Shea.


Our shea oil is extracted from the organic shea butter produced in Ghana and Burkina Faso. It has a lower amount of stearic acid giving it a very light property, unlike the shea butter.


This powerful oil can reduce the harshness of stretch marks during pregnancy.


Stretch marks are common during pregnancy and affect around 8 out of 10 pregnant women. They usually appear on the tummy, upper thighs, arms or breasts as your pregnancy progresses and your bump starts to grow.


This is because the human skin is quite stretchy and can’t keep up with rapid growth in size thus the appearance of stretch marks on areas that undergo transformation.


They may also result from weight gain and muscle enlargement which has the same effect on the skin.


Although applying shea oil may not completely remove these marks, it lessens the redness and itch associated with them.


If you are wondering how to deal with your stretch marks, here is what you need to know.


Daily application of shea oil is the solution you need as it makes the stretch marks look better due to its hydrating and plumping effect, which lessens the wrinkling of old stretch marks.


Although their appearance may reduce over time, there are factors that determine the effectiveness of this natural alternative. These include the amount of damage, the depth of damage, the individual’s susceptibility to scarring etc…

Shea oil is full of collagen, a chemical compound that is noted for its effect on the skin.

For best results, apply our 100% organic shea oil on your stomach and other affected before bed each day.


Shea oil is always in a liquid state as it is extracted from the shea nut – anything other than that is melted shea butter.

Hence, the reason you should buy it from a trusted source – Organic Trade and Investments.
