Description and Uses:

Our Raw, Unrefined Organic Shea Nut Butter is a deeply moisturizing botanical butter made from the vegetable fat of the Karité (Shea) Tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Revered for generations in traditional skincare, Shea Butter is a cornerstone ingredient in many natural body care products thanks to its rich, emollient texture and skin-softening qualities.

This Shea Butter is hand harvested, pressed, and left unrefined to preserve its naturally occurring skin-supportive components. The result is a pure, nutrient-rich butter with a soft ivory color and a creamy texture that melts readily with body heat. It can be used as a stand-alone moisturizer to help maintain healthy, soft skin, or incorporated into DIY and professional formulations like lotions, creams, soaps, and balms.

Shea Butter is especially loved for:

• Deep moisturization for dry, rough, or weather-stressed skin

• A rich, protective feel that supports the skin’s moisture barrier

• Softening elbows, knees, heels, hands, and cuticles

• Adding body and creaminess to lotions, soaps, and whipped body butters

• Gentle skincare routines for the whole family

Traditional Uses: moisturizer, emollient, skin conditioner, balm base, soap and lotion ingredient.

Ways to Use Raw Organic Shea Butter:

Daily Body Moisturizer

Warm a small amount between your palms and apply to damp skin after bathing to lock in moisture.

Dry Skin Rescue Balm

Apply directly to rough areas like heels, elbows, hands, and cuticles as needed.

DIY Whipped Body Butter

Blend Shea Butter with a lighter oil (like Jojoba or Grapeseed) for a smoother, more spreadable texture.

Cautions:

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

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