There will always be questions that need to be answered in any line of business.  Here are a few questions commonly asked by my customers-I hope this helps you in your efforts of  selecting products  here at SheAyurvedics.

Question. Can I use your Shea butter if I have oily skin?
Answer- Yes, you can use all of my facial products-There are 2 types of Shea butters, one comes from the fruit/nut of the  Vitellaria Nilotica tree in Uganda (east Africa)  and there is west African Shea  it comes from the fruit/nut of the Vitellaria Paradoxa  tree in  Ghana.They have  healthy and beneficial fatty acids that our skins require. The east African Shea butter is rare, and it is higher in oleic acids.  I use Grade A, organic Raw,  unrefined Shea butter.  Shea butter is  rich in vitamin A and E-and does not have a history of clogging the pores.


Questions: Is your skin really the largest organ of the human body?
Answer-Yes it is.  The skin acts as a barrier for the whole body.  It helps with temperature, it absorbs minerals and nutrients, and it releases toxins  too.  Skin loss through accidents, burns,  etc leave our bodies so susceptible to infections and loss of  body fluid.  Case in point, we need to know and monitor what we put on our bodies, because you never know whats going to end up inside of us over a period of  time.


Questions: Why do we have to exfoliate and why is it so important?
Answer
Good questions, we need to exfoliate our skins because it promotes cell renewal or new skin, so to speak.  Meaning, in order to let new skin show, you have to get rid of the old skin.  That can be done gently every day depending on your skin type, and texture. I do not recommend exfoliation products for children. You need to exfoliate the whole body, not just the face.  We have a whole line of salts, clays and sugar scrubs that will assist you with that.  In most cases, your skin will look dry, dull, and patchy without it-You have to have a system in place, cleanse-exfoliate-and moisturize-it all goes together for a glowing complexion. Please drink your 8 glasses of water a day too!!

Question: Why did you decide to  add ingredients from all parts of the world
?
Answer-I think we have beautiful people all abroad.  But I was most impressed with the beauty ritual and practices of the people of Africa and India.  Some of their beauty routines remain unscathed up until this day. The beauty recipes of the orient has impressed me too.  This is just my opinion-You may have a particular region that impresses you too!!

Question? What is the difference between essential oils and fragrance oils?
Answer
-Most fragrance oils are chemically derived,  and are not connected with the botanical or resin they tend to mimic, how harsh the process may be-I do not know. I am committed to using steam distilled/ cold pressed oils from plants, roots, and flowers-that's how you come up with an essential oil.  I have to admit I love the smell of fragrance, but it has to be from a natural source for my products.

Do you test on animals?
 Answer
-Clearly no and never.  I am into protecting the earth and its inhabitants and that does include all animals-My products are reviewed voluntarily on human beings. 

Question: Do you support Fair trade?
Answer
-yes I do, my African soaps, and Shea butters are fairly traded 

Question: Why don't  you ship the same day I place my order?
Answer
-We would love to be able to do that, and in most cases we will make an effort to. At SheAyurvedics everything is made freshly as you order. We do not stock pile our products and wait for someone to order.  This is a small company and we allow 2 days to process your order. We give a standard delivery time of 5 to 7 business and that includes the 2 days for processing your order.
