Ivory colored, natural fat from the African shea tree defines this unrefined Shea Butter. This butter is solely handcrafted, extracted, and prepared without the use of any chemicals or preservatives, maintaining centuries of traditional African preparation methods. Unrefined shea butter maintains its distinct, nutty, smoky scent and beige color. It is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, along with healthy fatty acids and valuable phytonutrients, making it a superior quality, natural cosmetic base.
 
Unrefined shea butter maintains its natural integrity unlike refined versions, which are chemically altered. This natural fat is suitable for direct application to the skin as a moisturizer.
 
Note:   Shea Butter in some instances may cause graininess (a natural occurrence). If needed, restore a smooth texture and consistency before use by tempering the Shea Butter before use: simply heat it until liquefied and clear (no longer cloudy), stir thoroughly, then cool in fridge or cold temperatures until solidified.  Store in cool temperatures.
