Shea butter - evidence required!!

Anyone got any links to information about the benefits of shea butter?

I've just had an argument with sdh becasue Harry has got eczema on his chin and I asked dh to put some on it. He got all grumpy and asked what proof I've got of it's suitability for children and had it been approved blah blah blah. He's a nurse and reckons if it was that good it would be prescribable (don't think that's a word )
