EPS 6: Organic Shea Butter - Skincare for Autistic Children

Join us on Angel’s Awesome Minds as we explore the gentle power of organic shea butter and its potential benefits for children with autism and sensory sensitivities. This episode breaks down why organic shea butter is a natural choice for sensitive skin — free from harsh chemicals, artificial scents, and preservatives — making it ideal for kids who may struggle with tactile or olfactory sensitivities.

We discuss how shea butter’s smooth texture and moisturizing properties can help soothe dry skin, eczema, and sensory overload. Plus, learn how incorporating shea butter application into calming daily routines can provide comforting deep pressure input, reduce anxiety, and even create bonding moments for families.

We also cover important safety tips, like choosing USDA-certified organic products, proper patch testing, and mindful use of essential oils. Finally, hear about Angel’s Awesome Books’ specially formulated shea butter blends designed to support children’s unique sensory needs.

This episode is a helpful resource for parents looking for thoughtful, natural ways to support their child’s skin health and sensory well-being.
