Unrefined Shea Butter – Pure, Nutrient-Rich & Naturally Healing

Our Unrefined Shea Butter is a raw, minimally processed butter extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree. Unlike refined versions, this butter retains its natural earthy scent, pale to golden-yellow color, and a full spectrum of skin-loving nutrients, including vitamins A, E, and F, as well as essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Its unaltered composition makes it one of the most effective and versatile ingredients for deeply nourishing, protecting, and revitalizing the skin and hair in handmade beauty products.

🌿 Common Uses in Handmade Products:

Unrefined Shea Butter is prized in a wide variety of handmade formulations. In soaps (3–10%), it contributes a creamy texture and moisturizing lather while enhancing bar hardness. When used in lotions and creams (5–20%), it provides intense hydration and supports skin repair, making it ideal for dry or irritated skin. For body butters and balms (20–60%), it serves as a rich, primary emollient that soothes and restores damaged skin. In lip balms (10–30%), it protects and softens lips naturally. In hair care products (5–15%), it strengthens and conditions both hair and scalp. Its soothing, regenerative qualities also make it a perfect base for healing salves (15–50%) aimed at calming irritated or inflamed skin.
