Benefits of Shea Butter for the skin

Shea Butter is an ivory coloured (ranging from white to yellow) fat, extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. It is called "Ori" in Yoruba and some parts of West Africa while it is called "okume" in Igbo. It's very edible, in Benin Republic it is used as a cooking oil and as a treatment for nasal congestion in Nigeria.

Benefits of Palm Kernel Oil

Palm kernel oil has been in my home for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, my paternal grandmother would send it to us to use as a body cream. She sent the one that had stick-like herbs in them and I was cool with them until I started watching Nollywood, and I wanted nothing to do with a babalawo's cream . Although now I know it's a very great oil and I'm going to be sharing some of its wonders.
