Čo je bambucké maslo?
Bambucké maslo, extrahované z orechov bambusu (Vitellaria paradoxa), ktorý je pôvodom z Afriky, je mastný olej, ktorý existuje ako tuhá látka pri izbovej teplote.
Karitovník rodí plody a orechy vo vnútri plodov majú prvoradý význam. Tieto orechy sú rozdrvené, varené a manipulované tak, aby sa z nich získal svetlý tuk, ktorý sa bežne nazýva bambucké maslo.
Medzi hlavné zložky bambuckého masla patrí kyselina olejová, kyselina stearová, kyselina linolová atď. Rýchlo sa vstrebáva do pokožky, keď sa topí pri telesnej teplote. Jeho zvlhčovacie a liečivé vlastnosti sú prospešné pre mnoho kožných problémov. Má tiež protizápalové a antimikrobiálne vlastnosti (do istej miery), ktoré sa dajú využiť na liečbu mnohých ochorení. Vďaka podobnosti s mnohými rastlinnými olejmi je vhodný na požitie (1).
Pozrime sa na históriu tohto bohatého orechového masla predtým, ako sa ponoríme do jeho prospešných vlastností a výživových údajov.

História bambuckého masla
Bambuľa po stáročia prirodzene obývala západnú Afriku, ktorá siaha od Senegalu po Sudán až po úpätie Etiópie. Dokumenty z africkej histórie spomínajú nádoby s bohatým maslom používaným na starostlivosť o pokožku a vlasy, ktoré sa prepravovali za vlády Kleopatry. Dokonca to vraj použila aj kráľovná zo Sáby!
Zo stromu sa vyrábali rakvy pre prvých kráľov v Afrike a maslo extrahované z orechov sa používalo pre jeho liečivé vlastnosti a vlastnosti starostlivosti o pokožku. Strom je tiež považovaný za posvätný mnohými kmeňmi v Afrike. V Afrike sa stále veľmi používa na ochranu pokožky a vlasov pred prudkým slnkom a suchým vetrom. Aj keď bolo hnetenie extrahovaného oleja rukou už skôr populárne, pokrok v oblasti technológie viedol k rôznym metódam, ako je napríklad filtrovanie hliny a použitie hexánu na konečnú extrakciu bambuckého masla. Niekoľko kmeňov ho tiež zmieša s palmovým olejom a používa ho na varenie. Väčšinou je to vidieť v severnej Nigérii.
Bambucké maslo má niekoľko zdravotných výhod a používa sa v rôznych kozmetických a liečivých prípravkoch v kombinácii s inými botanickými prísadami. Tu je dôvod.

Prečo je bambucké maslo dobré?
Obrázok: iStock
Bambucké maslo sa často používa vo zvlhčovačoch, krémoch, pleťových vodách a iných emulziách na pokožku a vlasy. Je bohatý na tuky, vďaka ktorým je vynikajúcim zvláčňujúcim a zvlhčovacím prostriedkom pre pokožku. Pokusy tiež preukázali, že má protizápalové a antioxidačné vlastnosti. Môžu pomôcť znížiť zápalové ochorenia kože a poškodenie pokožky a vlasov pôsobením voľných radikálov.
Obsahuje tiež vitamíny A a E, ktoré nielen udržiavajú pokožku v optimálnom zdraví, ale chránia ju aj pred poškodením škodlivým ultrafialovým žiarením. Tieto zložky dodávajú bambusovému maslu mierny slnečný ochranný faktor (SPF). Vitamín E tiež upokojuje suchú pokožku a zlepšuje jej pružnosť, vďaka čomu je toto maslo dobrým prostriedkom proti starnutiu (2).
Teraz, pokiaľ ide o druhy bambuckého masla dostupné na trhu, existuje niekoľko odrôd. Surové alebo čisté bambucké maslo je najprirodzenejšou formou, ktorá je zvyčajne žltá alebo zelená. Môže obsahovať niekoľko nečistôt, pretože nebol vôbec spracovaný a predáva sa ihneď po extrakcii z orechov. Túto surovú verziu je možné spracovať rôznymi spôsobmi, aby sa získali rôzne odrody bambusového masla. Budeme o nich diskutovať nižšie.

Rafinované vs. nerafinované bambucké maslo
Bambucké maslo môže byť rafinované alebo nerafinované. Nerafinované bambucké maslo je najčistejšia forma bambuckého masla, ktorá je najprirodzenejšia a najmenej spracovaná. Pretože sa extrahuje manuálne, je schopný udržať si vitamíny, minerály a ďalšie prírodné vlastnosti. Je podrobený základnému filtračnému procesu pomocou ílov, plátna alebo iných metód. Tieto môžu mierne zmeniť farbu, vôňu a textúru masla. Tavuje sa, formuje a predáva sa vo forme tyčiniek alebo tyčiniek.
Nerafinované bambucké maslo sa ďalej kategorizuje do stupňov od A do F, pričom stupeň A je najlepšej kvality.
Spracovanou formou je naopak rafinované bambucké maslo. Okrem filtračného procesu prechádza aj dezodoračným procesom prevzdušňovaním alebo použitím chemikálií. Je tiež bielené, aby bolo maslo belšie. Pridávanie prísad je bežné kvôli pridaniu vhodnej vône a predĺženiu trvanlivosti (konzervačných látok) masla. Všetky tieto procesy robia maslo biele a veľmi hladké. Hlavnou nevýhodou použitia rafinovanej verzie bambuckého masla je to, že celé jeho spracovanie znižuje jeho výživovú hodnotu.
Túto rafinovanú verziu je možné ešte vylepšiť, čo znamená zapojenie viacerých procesov, aby bola ešte plynulejšia a biela. To sa často deje, keď je potrebné bambucké maslo zabudovať do kozmetiky alebo výrobkov na starostlivosť o pokožku. Po toľkých procesoch rafinácie sa zničí pomerne veľa výživových výhod. Tento druh bambuckého masla sa často označuje ako ultra rafinované alebo vysoko rafinované bambucké maslo.
Niektoré spoločnosti tiež predávajú svoje bambucké maslo ako ekologické. Toto je nerafinovaná verzia, ktorá bola vypestovaná a zozbieraná iba pomocou prírodných procesov. Liečivé a zvlhčovacie vlastnosti bambuckého masla možno pripísať jeho nutričnej hodnote. Tu sú údaje o výživovej hodnote pre bambucké maslo.

Fatty Acids: Shea butter contains five principal fatty acids namely palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidic acids, with a higher proportion of stearic and oleic acids that together accounts for 85-90% of fatty acids. Stearic acid provides a solid consistency, whereas oleic acid influences the hardness or softness of the shea butterPhenolics: Phenolic compounds are known for their antioxidant properties. Shea butter contains 10 phenolic compounds, 8 of which are catechins. Traditionally extracted shea butter has higher phenolic levels than that extracted with hexane. In fact, the catechin content of shea butter is higher than the total phenolic content of ripe olives. The overall concentration and relative percentage of the shea kernels vary from region to region, depending on the level of environmental stress endured by the trees (3)Vitamin E: Tocopherol is otherwise known as vitamin E. Different versions of this are found in shea butter, but their concentrations fluctuate depending on climate and some other factors like the butter extraction method (4)Vitamin A And Vitamin F: These are also found in shea butter naturally. They can aid in the treatment of skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and even slow down premature aging (5)Shea butter is considered as a superfood for the skin as it is rich in unsaturated fats, with a large proportion of non-saponifiable components, essential fatty acids, vitamins E and D, phytosterols, provitamin A, and allantoin. It has been used since time immemorial for skin care, baby care, and consumption. Given below are its various shea butter benefits for the skin. Back To TOCBenefits Of Shea Butter For The SkinIncorporating shea butter into your regular skin care routine will work wonders. Check out here. 1. Moisturizes Dry SkinShea butter is an excellent moisturizer for the face and the body. Its fat content is responsible for its emollient and humectant properties (6). It locks in the moisture in the skin and keeps it hydrated for long. Dehydrated and dry skin becomes rough and scaly. Certain areas of the body can even develop skin cracks due to dryness. Shea butter can nourish the skin with its fat content. It can also help to soften the skin on your hands and feet and make it supple. It penetrates the skin easily, without clogging the pores, and is effective for dry skin. Use shea butter to heal cracked heels, dry cuticles, and rough patches on your skin. You can also use it to simply moisturize your skin during the colder months. [ Read: Home Remedies For Dry Skin] 2. Treats Acne And BlemishesImage: iStock Shea butter is known for its healing properties, which can be attributed to the presence of several fatty acids and plant sterols such as oleic, palmitic, stearic, and linolenic acids. These oil-soluble components do not undergo saponification or convert into soap on coming in contact with alkalis. Shea butter is more non-saponifiable than other nut oils and fats, thus imparting it great healing potential. Raw, unrefined shea butter is effective in curing skin rashes, skin peeling after tanning, scars, stretch marks, frost bites, burns, athletes foot, insect bites and stings, and acne (7). 3. Reduces Skin InflammationShea butter has several derivatives of cinnamic acid that exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. These properties make it beneficial for the improvement of skin conditions that result from an increase in inflammatory compounds (8). Generalized inflammations from conditions like dermatitis and rosacea can be alleviated by using shea butter on the affected area. Sunburns, rashes, cuts, and scrapes that can result in swelling can also be treated using this butter. 4. Anti-Aging And Anti-Free Radical AgentImage: iStock Shea butter is considered as one of the best anti-aging agents for the skin. It stimulates the production of collagen, the youthful scaffolding protein in the skin. The vitamins A and E found in this butter keep the skin supple, nourished, and radiant. If used regularly, it reduces wrinkles and also prevents premature wrinkles and facial lines. Its anti-aging properties can also be attributed to its ability to increase circulation to the skin and promote cell renewal. These vitamins, along with catechins, also exert an antioxidant effect against free radicals that damage the skin. These free radicals are often found in our environment in pollutants and irritants. The sun’s rays can also increase the free radicals in our skin, which can easily damage the skin cells. The cinnamic acid esters in the shea fat prevent damage from these compounds by giving your skin an antioxidant boost (9, 10). 5. Provides Relief To Itchy And Peeling SkinFor itching skin, both the moisturizing and the anti-inflammatory properties of shea butter prove to be beneficial. Dryness can cause your skin to start peeling and/or become flaky. It can cause the skin to itch. The moisturizing fatty acids of shea butter can provide relief by supplying the skin with the oils it needs. If the itching is due to a skin condition like psoriasis, the anti-inflammatory activity of shea butter works really well to alleviate it (11, 12). 6. Restores The Elasticity Of The SkinThe non-saponifiable matter and vitamin F in this butter are vital ingredients for maintaining the skin’s elasticity. Shea butter also improves the production of collagen in the skin. Thus, its application restores the natural elasticity of the skin besides hydrating, softening, and beautifying it (13). Restored elasticity also ensures reduced wrinkles and blemishes. 7. Reduce Razor Irritation And BumpsShaving hair using razors can often leave your skin irritated and itchy. At times, it might even develop bumps post shaving as a result of the irritation. Shea butter can help reduce this as it moisturizes and soothes the irritated skin. You can also apply the butter a day prior to shaving to smoothen the skin and hair. This will make the shaving process easier and faster and doesn’t leave any irritated spots behind (14, 15). 8. Reduces Stretch MarksImage: iStock Shea butter is often used as a base in ointments or creams prepared commercially for stretch mark treatment. This is because it can dramatically help prevent and reduce stretch marks formed during pregnancy due to weight gain and/or weight loss. These marks are formed when the skin stretches beyond its elastic capacity. The application of shea butter will restore the natural elasticity of the skin and also improve collagen production. It is a natural emollient. Daily massage of the affected area with this skin healing butter can lighten stretch marks (16). [ Read: Home Remedies For Removing Pregnancy Stretch Marks] 9. Helps Soothe Skin And Baby Diaper RashUnrefined shea butter is an excellent natural moisturizer that is devoid of chemicals. Thus, it is ideal for baby care as besides being gentle and soft on the skin, it is specially adapted for the delicate and sensitive skin of babies. It can be applied after a bath and also used for healing eczema or diaper rash on the skin of babies and toddlers (17). 10. Excellent Lip CareShea butter is easily absorbable and provides extra moisture and nutrients that the lips need during the cold season and dry weather conditions. Thus, it acts as a perfect lip balm and is also effective for treating dry and chapped lips. When applied, it forms a barrier on the lips and retains moisture in the skin (18, 19). After this extensive list of how shea butter can benefit our skin, let us now discuss its benefits for the hair. It is considered as a natural conditioner for the hair, thanks to its moisturizing and healing properties. Benefits Of Shea Butter For HairLet’s also delve deeper into some of the benefits of this miracle butter for your hair care. Some of the numerous shea butter benefits for hair are given below. 11. Repairs Damaged HairImage: iStock A number of chemical treatments like straighteners, perms, and curlers are responsible for stripping off the natural moisture from the hair. Shea butter can help restore this lost moisture. It also protects the hair from harsh weather conditions and the harmful free radicals in the air and water. Moreover, shea butter has a low SPF that is sufficient to protect the hair from sun damage caused due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It repairs the damage that has already been caused by the harsh weather and the sun. This is largely due to the fact that once absorbed, shea butter coats the hair shaft so that it is protected from a heat tool or any other damaging material being passed along the hair. This is particularly beneficial for processed or colored hair. It also protects the hair against salt and chlorine when applied before swimming (20). Here is a simple way to include shea butter in your hair care regimen:
12. Prevents Hair LossThe fatty acids of shea butter condition the scalp and hair. It also provides many essential nutrients that improve both scalp and hair health. These, in turn, will make your hair follicles stronger and reduce hair fall and hair loss. Another important property of shea butter that can prevent hair loss is its anti-inflammatory properties. Scalp conditions can be treated by these compounds, thus reducing hair loss. Your hair will grow thicker and have a natural shine when you use shea butter (21). 13. Soothes Dry And Itchy ScalpShea butter is effective in soothing a dry, itchy scalp or dandruff. It possesses anti-inflammatory qualities and rich fat that get absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue behind or clogging the pores (22). Hence, it is extremely effective in providing relief from a dry scalp, scalp psoriasis, and other scalp conditions. [Read: Home Remedies For Itchy Scalp] 14. Treats Split Ends And BreakageShea butter exerts moisturizing and regenerative effects on the hair and scalp. This strengthens the hair strands and reduces breakage. Also, being rich in vitamins A and E, it soothes dry hair and mends split ends (23). 15. Effective Natural ConditionerThe presence of vitamins A and E makes shea butter an excellent choice to moisturize your hair from the roots to the tips. It can be used as a natural conditioner. It is highly effective in locking in moisture, without leaving the hair greasy or heavy (24). 16. Keep Rebel Curls In PlaceShea butter is great for softening and revitalizing brittle hair. Due to its non-greasy nature, it helps to control and spread the excess oil in the scalp. Massaging the hair with generous amounts of shea butter can give you soft, silky, and luscious tresses. This benefit of shea butter is applicable for dry as well as fragile, curly hair. Shea butter should be applied twice a week for hair growth. This will improve the hair texture and moisturize the hair. It has wide usage in curly hair treatments due to its emollient qualities (25). So, this was all about the hair and skin benefits of shea butter. However, this rich butter also possesses some more benefits that make it more versatile. Read on to know more about these. Back To TOCMore Shea Butter Benefits For HealthExcept as a superior moisturizer, shea butter is used to treat various health issues too. Check out here, what are they. 17. Soothes Muscle AchesImage: iStock Muscular pain often results from an inflammation at the affected site due to exertion or a muscular ailment. Traditionally, shea butter has been extensively used in Africa to relieve muscle aches and soreness. Even though there is no concrete proof for this, feedback from people who have used shea butter to massage the affected site showed that they noticed a reduction in the swelling as well as the pain (26). 18. RheumatismRheumatism is often characterized by joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. The pain and swelling can also be present just in the muscles or the fibrous tissue. It is used as an ointment on the parts of the body affected by rheumatism to relieve the swelling and pain. Its anti-inflammatory properties are of key importance here as rheumatism is basically an inflammatory disease (27). 19. ArthritisA chronic joint disorder that is often associated with increasing age, obesity, and trauma, arthritis can be very painful for people who suffer from it. The pain is almost constant and disrupts basic movement and the quality of life in an arthritis patient. The unsaponifiable material of shea butter is primarily composed of triterpenes. These compounds have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its usage by arthritis patients has shown excellent results in alleviating the swelling and pain. The exact mechanism of action is still unknown. However, the triterpenes are considered the main contributing factor for these results (28, 29). 20. Nasal Inflammation And Nasal CongestionThe next time you experience nasal congestion, all you need to do is apply some shea butter in your nostrils using your finger. This might sound weird, but it works. Nasal congestion is often a result of inflammation of the inner linings of the nasal passages. The anti-inflammatory compounds of shea butter can reduce this inflammation and clear your nostrils. In a study conducted to test the efficacy of shea butter, the participants experienced nasal congestion clearance in just 90 seconds (30). 21. Lowers CholesterolAs we mentioned earlier, shea butter is edible and is used by many people in Africa for food preparation. An unknown advantage of adding shea butter to your diet is its ability to lower cholesterol in the blood. This butter is rich in stearic acid, a type of saturated fatty acid that was shown to reduce lipoprotein and plasma cholesterol levels in a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (31). [Read: Home Remedies To Reduce Your Cholesterol Levels] 22. Helps Treat DiarrheaDiarrhea is a symptom of many ailments and can also occur just by itself. It can be treated using a wide range of medicines and herbal concoctions. There is increased demand these days for the addition of shea butter to dietary-aid products that are being formulated for diarrhea treatment. This is based on the traditional usage of shea butter for its anti-diarrheal properties (32). A few other uses of shea butter are discussed in the next section. Back To TOCShea Butter UsesShea Butter has innumerable uses! Find out how this butter is used in a variety of ways. 23. Wound HealingShea butter has skin moisturizing properties, and these are accompanied by healing properties because of the wide variety of phytonutrients it contains. Wounds, cuts, and abrasions are healed quickly with regular application of shea butter. It gets easily absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin, where it supplies all the essential fats and nutrients while enhancing the cell repair function by increasing microcirculation (33). 24. Insect BitesImage: iStock Due to its high content of vitamin A, it promotes healing and disinfection and soothes skin allergies like poison ivy and insect bites (34). The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties accelerate the healing process (35). Insect bites are often prone to developing an infection, and this can be prevented by using shea butter on it. 25. Dermatitis, Psoriasis, And EczemaConditions like dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema cause the skin to become dry, flaky, patchy, scaly, and/or itchy. And to treat them, we need an ingredient that works as a deep moisturizer and alleviates the inflammation. Shea butter suits this profile perfectly. It is considered as an excellent moisturizer for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis because of its efficacious emollient and humectant properties. The anti-inflammatory properties of this thick butter can be employed for lessening the swelling and itching (36, 37, 38). Doctors often recommend shea butter to people suffering from these skin ailments as it is safe and well tolerated. 26. UV ProtectionShea butter acts as a natural sunscreen by providing protection against the ultraviolet radiations of the sun, though the level of protection offered may be variable. Cinnamic acid, found in shea butter, is a compound that provides UV protection, and the SPF ranges from 6-10 depending on the butter’s quality. It is not recommended to use shea butter alone as a sunscreen as its SPF is considered to be low to provide ample protection from the harmful rays. Shea butter is best used after sun exposure to soothe the skin and also reverse the oxidative damage caused by the sun (39). 27. An Alternative To Coconut Oil, Butter, Or Olive Oil In CookingHealthy fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds – all of these make shea butter a viable and better option than regular butter or even coconut oil and olive oil. It might take a day or two to get used to its taste, but its benefits are plenty and worth the adjustment. Use it for stir-frying or simply add a small dollop to your morning smoothie to reap its benefits. You could even substitute it for butter or lard for your toasts, sandwiches, and pancakes. As always, opt for the unrefined version, even for cooking/eating purposes. So many benefits! But you might still be a little confused about how to find the best shea butter. Well, your doubts will be cleared in the next section. We’ll also talk about the best way to store it.
