The Benefits of Unrefined Shea Butter

We now offer 5oz of luxurious whipped unrefined shea butter. This type of shea butter is an excellent moisturizer for your entire body, including your hands, face, and feet. We opted for unrefined shea butter because the refining process strips away some essential nutrients. Unrefined shea butter contains more fatty acids and vitamin E than cocoa butter and also includes vitamin A, which cocoa butter does not.

When choosing shea butter, it's beneficial to purchase handcrafted varieties to support artisans, helping them sustain themselves and their communities. Most shea butter available is machine processed, so by choosing our product, you are also endorsing natural ancestral methods. Machine processing, even for unrefined shea butter, involves chemical treatments, unlike handcrafted versions. Ours is handcrafted in Ghana.

What are the benefits of incorporating shea butter into your skincare routine? Primarily, it alleviates dry skin. Additionally, it helps prevent cell damage and maintains skin suppleness with regular use due to its rich nutrient profile. It also possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and swelling.

Our handcrafted fair trade unrefined shea butter is sustainably sourced and made with certified organic ingredients, so treat your skin to the best and order yours here!
