This is an Unrefined Natural Shea Butter that is full of nutritious qualities. Unlike the deodorized and refined Shea Butters, our unrefined Shea Butter still possesses its healing characteristics by retaining all of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals which are stripped out in refined Shea Butters. When using Shea Butter make sure that it is unrefined in order to benefit from all the wonderful properties it has to offer.
Shea Butter is known for its moisturizing and emollient properties. It is often used as a base for medicinal ointments and is often found in many skin care products, such as cosmetics, lotions and soaps. Because of its vitamin rich qualities, Shea Butter is beneficial in treating dry and itchy skin, sunburns, chapped and damaged skin, as well as many other irritated skin conditions. Shea butter also offers a limited amount of UV protection and can be added into sunscreen recipes.
Fair Trade: Our Shea Butter is Certified Fair Trade through the Fair Trade Federation and is helping to promote sustainable economic development and empower women in rural West Africa.
