Description
Description
Experience the raw, healing power of Africa.
Our certified Organic Shea Butter is Unrefined, meaning it is extracted from the nut of the African Shea Tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) without the use of chemicals, bleach, or deodorizers.
Why Unrefined? Because it is raw, it retains its natural ivory-yellow colour and its distinct nutty, earthy aroma. More importantly, it retains its maximum nutrient profile—rich in Vitamins A, E, and F—making it infinitely more therapeutic than the white, processed versions.
Key Benefits & Uses:
Intense Moisture for Very Dry Skin: This is its #1 use. Shea Butter is a rich emollient that seals in moisture. It is the ultimate remedy for "ashy" skin, cracked heels, rough elbows, and chronically dry patches.
Eczema & Psoriasis Relief: Its high concentration of Vitamin A and fatty acids makes it a powerful anti-inflammatory. It is widely used to soothe the itching, redness, and flaking associated with eczema and dermatitis.
Stretch Marks & Scars: It is famous for improving skin elasticity. Massaging raw Shea Butter into the skin during pregnancy is a traditional method to help prevent stretch marks and fade the appearance of existing scars.
DIY Body Butters: It is the "gold standard" base ingredient for making your own whipped body butters, lip balms, and hair masks.
How to Use: Shea Butter is solid at room temperature. Dig a small amount out with your finger and warm it in your palm until it melts into a rich oil, then apply.

PLEASE NOTE THAT: Our natural butters may melt naturally around 25 to 30 degrees C.
But do not worry! The melting can change the appearance of the product on the surface but will not degrade its properties. Vegetable butters should become solid again within a few hours (or sometimes days, depending on the butter). We kindly recommend that you store your butters in the fridge in hot weather, and to always keep them in a fresh/cool environment at room temperature otherwise.

Used all over Africa, our traditionally cold expressed Refined SHEA butter comes from the nuts of butyrospermum parkii.
The resulting raw butter is then deodorised with water steam and filtered to remove all impurities.
This process of extraction yields more stable shea butters, that will keep for longer and still retain an excellent level of active properties.
Many will prefer this version of our shea butter for its softer smell and ease to blend. Soft and creamy, our shea butter is a universal natural care.
Use it daily with delight, from head to toes. It will melt into your skin leaving it well nourished, restored, glowing and protected.
