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.

OMG....best product ever!!!!!!!!!
Words cannot describe how SHU has changed my life!!!!!!! This is the best moisturizer ever!!!!' I've probably spent hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars on moisturizers. I constantly have a dry nose due to allergies and just dry skin in general. NOTHING has ever worked. I've even used utter balm! And then I discovered SHU.... And oh how my life changed! It is light, not heavy, not thick, goes on smooth and soaks in! And then guess what....it works!!!!! You can out it on any dry spot on your body and will work and it does not take allot. My jar goes a long way. I'm in love!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Won Me Over
It took me a while to warm up to this product. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I'm sometimes skeptical of different things. I was thinking it would be more lotion-like but when I opened the jar it seemed somewhat hard. But then I got some on my fingers and when I started putting it on my face, my body temp warmed it up and it spread easy. You only need a little bit and that soft feeling lasts all day. I think that's my favorite part, hours later and my face still feels great.

SHU
I use SHU instead of washing my face with face wash. It was really hard for me to not wash my face anymore, but I really do feel like I have notice a great improvement overall on my face. I also use this as my regular moisturizer every morning. SHU doesn't have a strong smell.

YAY SHU!
I use SHU for moisturizing when I get out of the shower. I have used it to remove my eye makeup and moisturize around my eyes and my hands at night. I will occasionally use it on my face when I have a dry spot, but I find it too heavy to use as a facial moisturizer. It works to soften your lips as well! I use it on my eczema and other irritations, and it generally heals it pretty quickly.

SHU is the best!
What can I even say? This stuff is crazy awesome. I had super oily uneven acne-covered skin. Not anymore. My skin has a nice normal oil level now. I use SHU every night and wake up with dewy younger looking skin (okay I'm only 27 but 12 years of acne has left my skin a bit rough!). I often use it in the morning too especially if I'm breaking out, it soaks in and makes my skin look nice (but it and my powder foundation don't really work together). I used it on a pretty nasty sunburn a few weeks ago and it helped sooo much. It's pretty incredible stuff!

Miracle in a bottle
SHU has fixed every skin issue I've used it for - Eczema, athlete's foot, mosquito bites. I was absolutely amazing that it cleared up my foot fungal issues in just TWO applications. So happy with the sample I tried that I bought a container of it for use in our home. I'd recommend keeping some in your home always.

The BEST!
I had a horrible rash all around my mouth and eyes, presumably from very hard water in the new place I recently moved into. I tried many things, mostly all natural, from organic face washes to cocoa butter soaps, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, shea butter... some things helped a little but nothing got rid of it completely. After 2 months of this red, inflamed rash complete with dry, flaky skin, I was fed up and feeling awful. Then I came across Brazen Bee and I ordered this SHU moisturizer along with the Chally HA oil cleanser and EffOff face wash. After just a week of using the oil cleanser and this healing moisturizer, my face was almost completely better, and my spirits were lifted. I incorporated the EffOff into my weekly routine once the rash was better since it is a bit more intense and too strong when I had the rash, but wonderful now that it's healed. I couldn't be more happy with Brazen Bee's products. I was so downtrodden dealing with this unsightly and itchy rash I thought might never go away, and my brazen bee purchases cleared it all up in no time, and my usual dry skin is more moisturized than ever. Highly highly recommend this stuff! It is the best nutrition for your skin!

BUY THIS, IT WORKS!
Here's the review from my 15 year old daughter-This product is absolutely amazing. I have always had dry skin (especially after washing my face) . I put on my Shu after I wash my face at night and it smoothes out my face and the relaxing smell helps me sleep. I sometimes put this on after I use the Eff Off Face Wash and it " calms down" my irritated pimples/ blemishes. I highly recommend this product for anyone!

faaaabulous multi-purpose moisturizer & cleanser
This stuff is a miracle worker! Absolutely a cure-all, especially in my skin's biggest time of need: the winter. This stuff cures that dry ouchy skin under your nose when you've got the sniffles. It heals your heels (and your elbows). The earthy scent makes it comforting as well. After using SHU, you'll toss aside any other moisturizer you'd been using on your cracked skin.
