Naturally refined shea butter loses its scent and turns a creamy white while keeping all its nutrients intact. Brimming with skin-loving vitamins and antioxidants, this rich butter sinks in to calm and mend dry, itchy, or cracked areas, restoring a healthy glow. Consistent use can help smooth tone, soften the look of dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, and brighten overall complexion. On hair and scalp, it encourages growth, tames frizz, and seals in moisture.
The butter is semi-soft and melts on contact, so you can apply it directly or blend it into your favorite DIY skin and hair formulas. Completely vegan and gentle on every skin type.
This refined shea butter is entirely natural, undergoing a gentle purification that lifts the nutty scent and light tint found in raw shea. No solvents, bleaches, or harsh chemicals touch the product, so you will never find residual contaminants in the finished block. The refinement process begins with a thorough wash to clear away debris. Next, a non-chemical whitening step removes the kernel’s natural color, followed by mechanical filtration and deodorizing to eliminate particles and any lingering aroma. Because most of the original fatty acids and lipids remain intact, this butter performs much like its unrefined counterpart. It is an excellent choice for formulas that require a neutral base, whether you plan to add fragrance, color, or prefer a completely unscented result.
Our shea butter is sourced from the nuts of the shea tree, Vitellaria paradoxa, grown in Ghana. Locals call it the Tree of Life for its wide-ranging benefits to skin and hair, while shea butter itself is often praised as Mother Nature’s Conditioner for its exceptional ability to soften and moisturize.
Known for calming and hydrating mature or weather-worn skin, this butter is a staple for anyone seeking natural, effective care. *Shea Butter is made from Shea Nuts. If you have a nut allergy we recommend trying one of our other cosmetic butters
Melt a pea size amount of the butter between your hands and apply to your face or body. You may also mix this into homemade skin and hair care products.
In addition, you can use Shea Butter as a scalp treatment to moisturize the scalp and stimulate hair growth. It can also be used as a hair serum to tame frizzy hair and lock in moisture. For scalp: ensure scalp is damp, then melt a small amount of shea butter in your hands, and massage into the scalp. For a serum, dampen the hair, then melt a small amount of shea butter in your hands and scrunch it into or run it over your hair.
When not in use store Shea Butter sealed in its original packaging, or in a container such as a jar with a lid. Keep in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight. If temperatures are above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, store in the fridge.

Hello Abraham,
Yes unrefined shea butter can have a natural light yellow to a darker beige greenish or greyish tint depending on harvest time and location. We started offering the naturally refined shea to provide customers with a butter with a consistent color, texture, and scent for their creations. We're so glad to hear you're enjoying it!
