Should I apply the shea butter to my face if I have oily or combination skin?

This shea butter is a plant-based butter with a rich, dense texture that works mainly as an emollient and occlusive to soften skin and reduce moisture loss. While it can be used on the face, it is typically chosen for areas that feel dry, rough, or tight.

For oily or combination skin, the recommended approach is to apply a very small amount only to drier zones first to see how your skin responds. If your skin is easily congested or prone to breakouts, a lighter facial oil or cream might be a better daily choice for the entire face. You can still use this shea butter as a targeted treatment for very dry patches, cuticles, or lips.

As with any new cosmetic product, performing a patch test on a small area of skin, especially if you have reactive skin, is a sensible idea before wider use.
