Shea butter has come a long way from its native African roots: 

Shea butter comes from the Shea Tree, which is mostly found in West African countries such as Ghana, Mali and Nigeria, according to Nasabb.com. Distinctly different from cocoa butter in smell, appearance and texture, shea butter has been found to have a number of uses when applied to the skin. Shea butter contains vitamins A and E, which helps your skin stay balanced in complexion, clear and healthy. Dry skin types or those who have suffered from sun damage and excessive sun exposure will finding shea butter's vitamin A qualities extremely soothing, due to its strong hydrating properties. 

The article points out that olive oil is now being used for more than cooking: 

While olive oil is mostly used in kitchens worldwide, the skincare industry is now bringing the benefits of this ingredient to its customers in the form of various types of skin care products. Skincare specialists discovered that olive oil not only affects the skin's surface temporarily, but that the skin cells absorb and incorporate the essential fatty acids from the oil, resulting in stronger and more hydrated skin, according to Carefair.com.

Surprisingly, the people of the Mediterranean also figured out the skincare benefits of olive oil: 

These skin care specialists weren't the only people who knew of the secrets of olive oil in skin care. Local citizens in the Mediterranean region also realized olive oil's potential outside of cooking and have been using it as a moisturizer for parched skin. 

According to skin care expert, Denise Carter, the growing uses for such ingredients is definitely interesting to anyone who cares about skin care or not. “It doesn’t matter if you’re in the skincare business or if you’re a skin care guru. Just knowing how these ingredients are being cultivated and manipulated to benefit the skin is amazing information on its own and I’m glad I was able to create this series to better inform our readers about what the industry is doing to help keep them youthful.” http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.php?ArtID=237
