Unrefined shea butter is a popular ingredient in the natural body care and cosmetic industry and has been used for centuries in Africa for its moisturising properties.
Shea butter contains vitamins A and E as well as essential fatty acids and other vitamins and minerals. Shea butter is an intense moisturiser for rough skin. Due to its emollient properties, it is a perfect ingredient to include in your body care recipes and skin care regime. It is also wonderful to use in the summer as a moisturiser before and after sun exposure.
Because of its unrefined state, the scent of this butter is quite odoriferous and may alter your product's aroma. There are often slight differences in the colour from batch to batch likely due to natural variance. To prolong its shelf life, store in a cool, dark location.
Refined shea butter is naturally deodorized, and lacks the distinct odour of the unrefined butter.
Shea butter has been used for centuries in Africa for its skin-supporting properties, where it has been used to hydrate skin which has been exposed to extreme elements.
Intended Use: Cosmetic use only
