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.

Natural Antimicrobial: Karanja seed oil is known for its strong antimicrobial properties, making it an excellent choice for helping to keep your skin clear and reducing breakouts.

Hydrating Marvel: Rich in essential fatty acids, this oil deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and supple without clogging pores.

Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Karanja oil helps soothe irritation and redness, making it great for sensitive or inflamed skin conditions.

Promotes Wound Healing :Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, Karanja seed oil supports skin repair and regeneration, helping to heal minor cuts and blemishes.

Sun Protection: Karanja oil offers some level of protection against harmful UV rays, making it a great addition to your daytime skincare routine.

Balances Oily Skin :This oil helps regulate oil production, making it beneficial for those with oily or combination skin types.

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.

literally feel it healing skin

Posted by Unknown on Oct 31st 2016

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!!

Posted by Cassie on Sep 28th 2016

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.

most amazing moisturizer

Posted by Sherice on Jan 6th 2016

I have never been able to fix a moisturizer that works for me. They either burn my face, or in most cases don't actually moisturize, but this stuff is amazing and has helped alot with my pores and acne. I absolutely love it.

In Love

It keeps my skin healthy and vibrant. I went to Courtney when I started to notice my ever normal and balanced skin starting to show signs of age, she knew exactly what to do and started me on a easy daily regimen. Yes, SHU, and Stiletto, are thick and can feel a oily. But fear not it is exactly what your skin needs to balance itself out. The travel tubes are fantastic for your purse or the gym, a little goes a long way.

Who Knew SHU would be the best

Posted by Denise on Jul 18th 2015

I was a little afraid to try SHU on my face during the humid summer of DC but it great. It's better than great. It keeps my skin moist but doesn't feel greasy or oily. My skin is soft all day. This is the perfect moisturizer for my face. Can't wait to see how not dry my skin is this winter.

Combined w/eff off - the best

Posted by Tea on Jul 9th 2015

This is the best moisturizer I have ever tried. It's rich, smells great, and seriously leaves my face looking amazing. It does have a lot of moisture. if you prefer a more matte look, this may not be the one for you. I have naturally oily skin and this gives me excellent balance and keeps me from breaking out, and it looks really pretty and glowy on my skin. I sometimes put some powder sunscreen over it if it seems like i put on too much - a little goes a long way!

Love my SHU!

Posted by Rebecca on Jul 8th 2015

I'm in Houston, and it's really humid, so my skin never gets that dry to begin with. BUT. This stuff is great. A small tub lasts a LONG time. It helps with dry lips, all sorts of skin issues, and just adds so much moisture, even for those of us who don't really need it.
