Description & Uses

Raw, Unrefined Organic Shea Butter is produced from the nourishing vegetable fat found inside the nuts of the African Karité tree. Carefully hand harvested and minimally processed, this premium butter retains the naturally occurring vitamins, essential fatty acids, and unsaponifiable compounds that make Shea Butter one of the world's most treasured skincare ingredients.

Its rich, creamy texture melts effortlessly upon contact with the skin, forming a protective barrier that helps lock in moisture while leaving skin feeling exceptionally soft, smooth, and conditioned. Shea Butter is especially beneficial for dry, rough, weather-stressed, or mature skin, making it an ideal year-round moisturizer for the entire body.

A favorite among natural formulators, Shea Butter provides luxurious richness to lotions, creams, soaps, lip balms, body butters, salves, and massage bars. It also blends beautifully with carrier oils and essential oils to create customized skincare products for both home and professional use.

Traditional Uses: moisturizer, skin conditioner, protective emollient, balm base, body butter, soap making, lotion ingredient.

As with all natural products, perform a patch test prior to first use, especially if you have sensitive skin. Individuals with known nut allergies should use caution and consult a healthcare professional if needed before use.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because this is a raw, natural butter, texture may vary with seasonal temperatures. If melted, simply allow it to resolidify at room temperature without affecting its quality.
