A member asked:

Does shea butter cream make one darker and remove stretch marks ? or does it just maintain skin colour?

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Shea butter: is primarily used to keep the skin most, especially in dry winter weather. It has no long lasting impact on skin color as far as I know. Peace and good health. Vitamin E oil on scars can be helpful.
