What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks are a type of scar that forms when the skin stretches or shrinks in a short period of time. These changes cause ruptures in the collagen and elastin that form the skin, and as the ruptures heal, stretch marks form. Growth spurts from puberty, pregnancy, weight gain and weight loss, or weight training can all cause stretch marks to appear.

What is shea butter?

Shea butter is a seed fat that comes from the shea tree. Shea butter is an emollient that softens and hydrates the skin with tons of fatty acids that help improve your skin barrier, aka the outermost layer of skin that protects you from the environment.
