Raw Shea Butter

Extracted directly from the Shea Nut, our unrefined Shea Butter from Nigeria has a unique nutty and pungent aroma that is characteristic of a pure and natural product. With its solid consistency and moisturizing properties, Shea Butter is rich in vitamins and fatty acids that deeply penetrate the skin and leave a smooth, satiny finish. This versatile ingredient can be used to make body care products such as body butters, massage butters, lip balms, soaps, and shaving creams, to name just a few. Please note that as a natural product, texture may vary from batch to batch, but it's the same high-quality Shea Butter every time.

Benefits of Shea Butter on Skin

Moisturization: Shea butter deeply moisturizes and seals moisture into the skin, improving overall texture. It is rich in fatty acids to nourish and hydrate the skin.
Anti-inflammatory: Shea butter has compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. It can calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and provide relief from various skin conditions.

Anti-aging and Skin Repair: Shea butter has vitamins A and E, antioxidants that protect skin and stimulate collagen. This reduces wrinkles and signs of aging for a youthful complexion. Shea butter also has triterpenes that stimulate cell regeneration and repair skin. Regular use improves elasticity, firmness, and tone for healthier skin.

 Benefits of Shea Butter on Hair

Deep Conditioning and Moisture Retention: Shea butter moisturizes and nourishes hair, acting as a natural conditioner. It hydrates and repairs dry, damaged hair, making it softer, smoother, and more manageable. Shea butter seals moisture in the hair cuticle, preventing frizz and breakage. It is especially helpful for coarse or textured hair.

Scalp Health and Hair Growth: Shea butter soothes the scalp, relieving irritation and promoting hair growth. It nourishes hair follicles and improves circulation. Massaging shea butter stimulates blood flow, reducing hair loss.
Environmental Damage Protection: Shea butter creates a barrier against UV rays, pollution, and heat styling, preventing damage and promoting healthier hair. Its antioxidants preserve hair color and vitality.

Before adding natural raw butters to creams and lotions, it is recommended to temper them. Simply gently and slowly heat the butter until liquid, then let it cool completely. The melting point can range from 32°C to 35°C. This will improve the texture of the final product by reducing the potential for graininess.
