Best Answer

Shea butter is a great after sun care moisturizer, but the butter alone does not contain enough SPF agents to effectively protect the skin if worn alone. However the butter is potent enough to help ease sunburns by regenerating cells that are cooked during sun bathing. Use unrefined shea butter not the refined one.
