If you suffer from dry or irritated skin on the foreskin or shaft of the penis, Shea Butter is a potent topical product that may help. Shea butter is the vegetable fat extracted from the nut of the African Shea Tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Used for hundreds of years throughout Sub-Saharan countries for its skin healing, moisturizing and decongestant properties, Shea Butter is now industrially extracted for use in cosmetics and skin products worldwide. Unlike many other pharmaceutical products though, it causes very little or no irritation, promotes tissue health and skin nutrition long-term, and may resolve some skin conditions. If you suffer from nut allergies, use Shea Butter products with extreme caution.
Bioactive Against Skin Disorders
Shea Butter is a medicinal product which may be beneficial to penis health, especially if a man is suffering from any inflammatory or pathogenic skin conditions. Between 3% to 10% of Shea Butter contains bioactive fractions that have therapeutic properties when applied to human tissues. While more research is still needed on the chemicals in Shea Butter, scientists have so far identified catechins (the same antioxidants found in green tea), vitamin E, triterpene alcohols that reduce inflammation, and lupeol which reduces enzymatic actions causing skin aging. A recent study from Nihon University in Japan confirmed the anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-cancer properties of Shea Butter. If a man is diagnosed with eczema, psoriasis, itching, dry skin or an infection, Shea Butter may be beneficial as a complementary topical treatment.
