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.

Best moisturizer I've ever used!
Best moisturizer I've ever used (and I have used thousands)! My skin is very sensitive, and this stuff soaks right in. I adore the texture. It's a very fluffy, whipped-like texture. Smells fantastic. Gives me a youthful glow. I'm often mistaken for much younger than I am since using this goddess cream.

No regrets!
I was skeptical, at first, to use an oil-based moisturizer because of my acne, but I do not regret it! After a couple weeks of slathering strong acne cream on face, my skin was very dry and I was seeing lines and cracks because of it (I'm only 21!! Not okay!). So I pulled out my sample of SHU Moisturizer and put it on after the shower and before I went to bed and woke up HEALED! My skin no longer felt tight and dry and color came back to my cheeks. After using it for about 1-2 weeks, I even noticed my slight dark spots from old acne scabs/scars were fading! Absolutely amazing!! I bought my first full bottle and I'm so excited!

I wish I could hug you it's so good
I suffer from acne, large pores, and oily skin. After using this for a month, my skin has never looked so good. My skin is supple and has a certain glow to it from being so well moisturized! I used to wake up with the "11s" between my brows, but not anymore. On another note, my acne is under control and my pores appear smaller (I assume from being cleaner thanks to your Melee fash wash and oil cleansing). You deserve an award.

SHU Moisturizer
I wasn't sure quite what to expect when I purchased this moisturizer, but I am so incredibly glad I did. After only two days of using it, I'm already noticing a vast improvement. My face is usually dry and flaky after showering, but now it's so amazingly soft and smooth. I will be recommending this to everyone I know (while awkwardly telling them to feel my face!) and will most definitely be purchasing again.

Amazing!
Love love love this moisturizer!!! It actually helps reduce my oily skin, something that I've never had a moisturizer do before! It's also helping clear up my acne scars, I've only been using it for 5 days and I can see a difference. I'm hooked!!

Wonder Cream
I bought this cream initially to help treat my combination psoriasis/eczema on my legs. Not only has it reduced roughness and redness in just two weeks of using it daily, but I also discovered it's great as an oil cleanser! Courtney has won me over on the anti-soap campaign. This stuff works great at cleaning all the gunk and makeup off my face at the end of the night without leaving my skin feeling attacked afterwards. I love it.

SHU
This stuff is GREAT!!! I bought it for myself (which by the way works wonders on my face!),but after reading more on it, I decided to us it on the rough bottom of my husbands feet. They were cracked and SO dry! I put it on before bedtime and when I went to use it again the next night, the cracks had almost vanished! This has made me a believer!

literally feel it healing skin
I've used hundreds of products having worked at a major cosmetic retailer. THIS puts them all to shame. Hydration my skin needs and actually helps reduce my suped up oil production. Had a bad reaction and itchy face for a month before trying this. Instant soothing and healing. HIGHLY recommend.

Makes my skin feel amazing!!
I still haven't decided if I prefer Stiletto or Shu but this stuff is amazing! I got lucky enough to buy it on sale and I use it for everything. Facial moisturizer, dry skin patches, raw skin...whatever. It helps with everything. I highly recommend you try it, especially if you are prone to itchy or dry skin.
