Shea butter is a natural product that comes from the nut of the Shea Tree. It has been used for centuries for its moisturising and healing properties
We source our raw unrefined shea butter directly from a rural cooperative in Ghana.
The cooperative is for women who want to work and improve quality of life for themselves and their family.
Our raw unrefined shea butter is fair trade and organic certified.
What’s the difference between refined and unrefined shea butter?
Unrefined or raw shea butter has all of the nutrients and vitamins that makes shea butter so great, but it also has a very thick, grainy and hard to spread texture that actually makes it pretty difficult to use.
Refined shea butter, on the other hand, has a smooth and creamy texture that’s easy to spread all over the skin but during the refining process, it loses many of its vitamins and nutrients.
Many people prefer using refined shea butter since it has a much more pleasant texture and color and it’s easier to use on the skin and hair. Though it does lose many of its compounds that makes it so beneficial, refined shea butter has about 25% of its vitamins and minerals after the refining process. So there are still some of these nutrients that can benefit the skin and hair.
Store in a cool, dry place, at or below 25°C.
