Clinical Evidence on Shea Butter

Efficacy and Safety After Laser Treatment

The study titled Efficacy and safety of combination cream of stimu-tex AS™ demonstrated that shea butter extract, when combined with other ingredients, significantly improved skin recovery after fractional CO2 laser procedures. The results indicated reduced erythema and improved skin hydration without adverse effects.

Cross-Reactivity with Fragrance Allergies

Research in To Avoid or Not to Avoid found that shea butter does not show significant cross-reactivity in fragrance-allergic patients, suggesting it is safe for use in personal-care products for those with fragrance sensitivities.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

A study on phycocyanin incorporated into shea butter showed promising results in Anti-Inflammatory Activity of a Phycocyanin-Protein Complex, indicating that shea butter can enhance the anti-inflammatory effects of other active ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
