Ethnic Skin and Hair Care

Ethnic Skin and Hair Care

Ashy skin? Dry scalp? Malnourished hair? All of these problems are significant to ethnic skin and hair. Finding the correct proportions of essential oils and butters without the petroleum byproducts and hard waxes like carnauba, has long been sought in ethnic skin and hair care. Petroleum byproducts are known to clog pours while hard waxes coat the skin and hair shaft not allowing the much needed absorption of nutrients.

Spa Splendors Hair Butter blends Shea butter with Olive and Jojoba Oils which have long been known for their wonderful healthy skin and hair properties. In addition the use of Essential Oils specifically chosen for their beneficial properties to the hair and scalp, makes Hair Butter supreme for not only your hair, but for your whole body. It is all natural with no preservatives which means no Parabens or other harmful manmade chemicals.

Shea butter contains high percentages of Vitamin A and Vitamin E. Vitamin E has long been known to increase blood flow to the skin thus bringing more oxygen to the skin surface.
