Shea Butter - Refined Organic
Shea Butter - Refined Organic
Our Refined Organic Natural Shea Butter is considered to be high in vitamin and mineral content. AKA Shea Nut Butter is extracted from the Shea nut. This natural butter is filtered to remove any impurities, resulting in a creamy white to off white color and an ultra high quality pure product. The refined shea butter also has less odor, making it highly sought after in the soap making and personal care industry.
Our Organic Shea Butter is refined so very little to any of the natural Shea oder remains. Any remaining Shea smell is usually lost in hot and cold process soap making. Shea butter is a soft solid at room temperature.
Traditionally Shea butters have been known to be used in Africa for cooking, medical and cosmetic applications. The primary use of virgin Shea nut butter in the United States is for cosmetic applications. Shea Butter is an incredible emollient due to it's non-saponifiable components. Namely it's unique fatty acid profile. Shea Butter is also thought to contribute to increased skin elasticity.
*Note color variation may occur due to crop source and environmental situations.
