Shea Butter - Unrefined Raw Virgin Organic

Shea Butter - Unrefined Raw Virgin Organic

Our Unrefined Organic Virgin Natural Shea Butter is considered to be high in vitamin and mineral content.  AKA Shea Nut Butter

Our Organic Virgin Shea Butter is a pale tan or slightly yellowish color.  It is manually extracted from the Shea nut and not chemically refined.  It does have a characteristic "Shea" oder which is very strong in the raw butter.  Most of the Shea smell is usually lost in hot and cold process soap making.  Virgin 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.  Virgin Shea Butter is an incredible emollient due to it's non-saponifiable components.  Namely it's unique fatty acid profile.  Virgin Shea  Butter is also thought to contribute to increased skin elasticity.

High vitamin A, E and C and mineral content are retained due to manual processing. Shea butter is thought to benefit dry skin. Melts at skin temperature.  All Natural.

Refined oils generally don’t contain allergens. However, as this product is a virgin oil out of caution assume it contains tree nut allergens.

*Note color variation may occur due to crop source and environmental situations.
