SHU was carefully developed for daily moisturizing and extremely fast healing.
Many other products add glycerin and/or types of liquid plastics like silicone for a feeling of temporary moisture and relief. Neither of these actually feed the cells, but instead, put a band-aid layer over the skin like seran wrap that can wow for a couple of hours. These are nowhere near as breathable as a healthy dose of triglycerides and vitamins.
Ghana Shea and Burkina Fasso Shea: I have combined both shea butters here for maximum benefit of both. Shea butter is full of stearic acid, which is deeply cleansing and helpful for acne and skin issues that need a "bring it up and out" approach. Tired of paying for an expensive "Vitamin A cream"? Shea butter is a vitamin A AND vitamin E cream in one. So the base of your moisturizer is on solid ground.
Hazelnut Oil- hazelnut oil is a highly penetrative due to a good percentage of polyphenols. It has also been shown to be effective for acne because it is anti-inflammatory and astringent.
Ucuuba Butter- This has always been the secret powerhouse of SHU. Ucuuba is in the nutmeg family and has helped immensely with eczema and psoriasis. It is extremely rich in fatty acids, is anti-bacterial, and is said to be especially helpful for mature skin in toning and brightening the complexion.
Karanja Seed Oil- **NEW to SHU**** with very good reason. It cleared up my oldest daughter's acne in 2 days- and she has very bad acne when she fails to use her facewash and lotion. Karanja is in the same family with neem but has a much less offensive odor. It is very high in triglycerides, which are extremely important in creating a magical protective barrier over your skin without clogging pores. This oil is also high in flavonoids, which are anti-oxidants and very astringent. Tannic acid is present in karanja seed oil. Tannic acid treats rashes, fever blisters, and other irritations or bacterial infections.
Karanja is an extremely well-rounded oil with so many benefits that it is easy to see how it further improves the efficacy of SHU. For those who have used the original version of SHU, this is the ingredient that makes a much more silky feel.
Frankincense Oil- Frankincense made its way into Brazen Bee products the moment I heard that research shows it kills skin cancer cells. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers and anything that we can do as a preventative measure should be taken. I am not purporting that your facewash will prevent skin cancer in any way, but the research should be looked at and judged accordingly. Aromatherapy: spiritually grounding
Lavender Oil- Lavender is one of the most well-known skin soothers around. With a high amount of linalool, this wonderful oil is used across most skin care formulas because it simply works. It also helps to heal scars and diminish redness. Aromatherapy: soothing
Elemi Oil- Here is the third new ingredient to SHU. Elem
SHU used to have Abyssinian Oil, which is now unavailable. We have moved over into using Camellia Seed (Green Tea Seed) and Organic Unrefined Almond Oil in place of the Abyssinian Oil. I think everyone will be happy with this!
Total Ingredients: Shea Butter (refined and unrefined blend), Hazelnut Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Organic Unrefined Almond Oil, Ucuuba Butter, Karanja Oil. Essential Oils: Frankincense, Lavender, Elemi

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: CONCENTRATED MOISTURIZERS Moisturizers are crucial to proper healing, scar prevention, and wrinkle prevention. A good moisturizer is packed with healing oils and butters from nature, but never clogs pores with ingredients like glycerin or silicon. The skin MAKES OIL because it NEEDS OIL. Providing the right oily nutrition can speed healing and improve the quality of the skin like you have never seen before. FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN SHU Healing Moisturizer was developed specifically for acne relief. Acne needs oil. Acne needs anti-bacterial action. Acne needs soothing. Acne needs SHU. Apply liberally and you may want to reapply throughout the day for the first few days of use. Especially since you touch your face often and the antibacterial action is important. DAILY MOISTURIZER USE Apply after anytime you wash your face. It will be absorbed within 10 minutes. PRO TIP: leave fingers and face wet prior to application and apply a VERY small amount. If you are going to wear makeup, leave some time to absorb before makeup application. NIGHTLY MOISTURIZER USE Our moisturizers are recommended for dry or oily skin! At night, apply what feels like “too much” to the face and sleep with it on. This gives the skin a chance to take up and utilize the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids that support healthy skin. NIGHTLY USE - OILY SKIN Apply what feels like “way too much” at night and go to bed. What you are doing is telling your skin that it does not need to overproduce oil and that you will feed it well every day so that it can stop making so much oil. Your oily skin will be markedly improved within one week with continued improvement over time. After two weeks of “way too much” at night treatment, you can adjust back to normal nightly use. SUPER CHARGE YOUR MOISTURIZER WITH BLATANT AND/OR ENLIGHTEN TONER Skin needs a daily nutrition boost! It is critical to give skin a thin layer of bioavailable vitamins and minerals with your daily routine. Directions: Use twice daily. Apply liberally after cleansing. While toner is still wet, apply your favorite Brazen Bee Moisturizer. It helps the moisturizer spread evenly as well as super charging it with bioavailable vitamins and minerals.

Shu ftw
Every product at this company is incredible, but this is my absolutely favorite. First, I love the way it smells. I didn't realize how perfume-y my old stuff was (before bb). Shu smells pure and natural...is that a smell? :) Just like with every bb product I've tried, you just need an extremely small amount for the entire face/neck area. I definitely was overusing it for the first several days until I got used to how little is needed. If you're looking for a good face wash to pair with Shu, I'd recommend Georgia Sweet. These two products together have made more difference to my skin than other products that I've used in the past that cost way too much $$. Highly recommend Shu!!

Love
I use this on myself(switching between this, Stiletto, & Easy A) and my teen son uses it as well to help with breakouts and it keeps his dry skin so moisturized. I am in love with the scent and the way it feels.

Best products ever!
I've used both the SHU and Stiletto moisturizers and they're fabulous! A little goes a long way, and really help with any redness I might have going on. Blemishes heal super fast and skin is rarely dry/flaky since using them. I ran out and used store-bought "natural" product for a couple weeks before ordering more and NEVER AGAIN. I had more break-outs, that lasted longer, in those few weeks than I ever have using the awesome Brazen Bee products. Lesson learned!!

Like duct tape only better
This moisturizer has turned out to be my go-to for more than moisturizing. It has helped heal and clear any acne I had after using for a month! I have also used it on a couple of minor boo boos my daughter had and it helped heal them very well!

Shu
I bought Shu for my mom who has extremely dry and itchy ears due not producing ear wax. For the first time in my life she is not constantly itching her ears and there is no flaky skin anymore. Amazing!

shu
So many uses and so perfect. This stuff is good for EVERYTHING. I use this on my face ( i have oily, aging and sometime broken out skin) , I also use it on my elbows, hands and anywhere else i have dry skin. This is truly one of the best moisturizers I have ever used. The price is phenomenal and the stuff lasts forever

My face has never been so soft!
I am almost finished with my first jar of this amazing moisturizer and will most definitely purchase again and would recommend this to anyone......I actually do because it is a life changer. I am still trying to decide if Shu or Stiletto is my favorite because it's a hard choice- they both are so amazing. The quality of these products just blows my mind! I am truly amazed by the lack of BS ingredients and can't believe how many YEARS I put a bunch of crap on my face! This is simple stuff that works like magic. Shu makes my skin so happy and the results are undeniable!

Shu -- My favorite!
I have struggled for years with "adult acne." Nothing was ever so discouraging as passing the point of puberty to adulthood and STILL having acne. I started using Shu and my skin has never looked nor felt better. Love this!!

MUST HAVE
Wow! With having oily skin, I thought putting oil on my skin would be counter productive, but my skin has been thriving! My skin has not been as oily throughout the day as it has been my entire life.
