Raw unrefined shea butter is like the storyteller in the family, maintaining its natural state and essence. Extracted without any additional processing, it retains all its natural goodness. This unfiltered version showcases shea butter in its purest form, just as nature intended. With its rich golden colour and earthy aroma, unrefined shea butter provides an authentic and holistic skincare experience. Our unrefined shea butter comes direct from source from a women’s cooperative in Ghana. They process the shea butter by hand, from the harvesting of the nuts, to roasting, to kneading. The butter is then filtered and that’s it!

Refined shea butter, on the other hand, undergoes a process that removes the scent and colour, resulting in a more neutral and consistent product. This refinement creates a smoother and more refined texture, perfect for those who prefer a fragrance-free option or a more versatile ingredient for their skincare formulations. Refined shea butter undergoes the same process as unrefined, but then undergoes an additional process of filtration and refinement to remove the odour and lighten the colour. 

Regardless of whether you choose raw unrefined shea butter or refined shea butter, both offer exceptional benefits for your skin and hair. Let's explore the remarkable advantages of shea butter:

Deep Hydration and Moisturisation:

Shea butter is a natural emollient that penetrates deeply into the skin, providing intense hydration and moisturisation. It locks in moisture, helping to improve skin elasticity and suppleness. Whether you're battling dry patches or seeking an overall boost of hydration, shea butter has you covered.

Soothing and Calming Properties:

With its skin-soothing properties, shea butter calms irritated skin. It can alleviate dryness, itchiness, and even assist in reducing the appearance of redness or inflammation. Whether it's a mild sunburn or skin irritation, shea butter offers gentle relief.

Promoting Skin Barrier Function:

Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. These components work together to enhance the skin's natural barrier function, protecting it from environmental stressors and aiding in maintaining overall skin health.

Hair Nourishment and Care:

Shea butter isn't just beneficial for the skin; it's also a treat for your hair. It deeply moisturises the scalp, reduces frizz, and adds shine to your locks. Incorporating shea butter into your haircare routine can help nourish and revitalize your hair, making it more manageable and lustrous.

When selecting shea butter, consider your personal preferences and skincare needs. If you appreciate the raw and authentic experience, opt for our organic raw unrefined shea butter. Its earthy aroma and natural properties provide a unique and unaltered skincare experience. On the other hand, our organic or standard refined shea butter offers a more refined and neutral option, perfect for those seeking a fragrance-free or versatile ingredient.
