Akoma Shea FAQ

How do I use it?

Warm a tiny amount between clean fingers and apply a very thin layer to dry skin. Patch test first.

Can shea butter be used on newborn skin?

Plain, fragrance-free shea butter can generally be used on healthy newborn skin in small amounts. We recommend patch testing first and speaking with your pediatrician if your baby has eczema, a rash, or very sensitive skin.

Can I use shea butter every day?

Yes, it can be used as part of a daily moisturizing routine as long as your skin tolerates it well.

Can I use shea butter on my hair?

Yes, you can put shea butter in your hair to moisturize, soften, and seal in hydration. Shea butter is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and acts as a strong sealant to keep hydration inside your hair strands. By keeping hair coated and strong, it helps prevent split ends and damage.

Common known questions

Can I use shea butter on eczema or a rash?

Shea butter may moisturize dry skin, but it is not a treatment for eczema, diaper rash, infections, or other skin conditions. For persistent redness, swelling, broken skin, or irritation, consult your healthcare provider.
