Our Unrefined shea butter is extracted from the nut of Africa shea tree in Nigeria.

Unrefined Shea butter is widely used in cosmetics as a Hair and skin moisturizer and a skin salve the treatment for dry sensitive skin conditions.

Shea butter can be used alone to benefit the skin, The unsaponifiable matter of the Shea butter contains phytosterols and terpene alcohols. Such unsaturated elements are well-known for their excellent caring, healing and regenerative properties. Furthermore, the Shea butter contains vitamin E, Pro-vitamin A and Vitamin F. Vitamin F is uniquely found in high quantities, and it is Vitamin F which has is the rejuvenator for the skin.

What makes Shea butter so useful in skincare is its ability to penetrate the skin without clogging pores, allowing the skin to breathe. Shea butter is highly compatible with the skin and at it’s best in skincare designed to make stressed and dry skin, supple and smooth.

One of the most popular ways to use Shea butter is to apply heat, so that it becomes a thick liquid and add it into cream bases, effectively making what we all know as body butters. When the Shea butter sets back in your blend, it will thicken the cream, making a lovely body butter. Care should be taking in matching the fatty acid profiles.

Shea butter can be used on the hair as well and is highly moisturizing on dry hair, by simply massaging into the roots. As above, it can be combined into conditioners to improve their shine and nourishment.
