This collection covers raw and refined shea butter along with shea-based creams and soap, a moisturizing fat pressed from the nut of the African shea tree and valued for its vitamin A, E, and F content.
Raw vs. Refined Shea Butter
Raw (unrefined) shea butter keeps its natural ivory or yellow color and earthy scent, along with the full range of naturally occurring vitamins; refined shea butter is processed further for a smoother texture and neutral scent, trading some of those natural compounds for consistency. Both are cosmetic moisturizers and neither is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition — always patch-test a new product on a small area first.
What's in This Collection
The range includes raw shea butter in both white and yellow varieties, a refined 100g oil format, a deep-hydration body cream, and a shea butter soap bar for a gentler, moisturizing cleanse.
How to Use Shea Butter
Solid shea butter softens quickly with body heat — warm a small amount between your palms before applying to dry skin, elbows, or hair ends. It layers well under a lighter lotion if you want moisture without a heavy feel; see our Herbal Face Cream collection for lighter facial options. For scalp and hair use, our Hair Care collection has more shea-based hair products.
Pairing with Other Natural Ingredients
Shea butter is a common base ingredient across our African-soap range — see our Black Soap collection for bars that combine shea butter with traditional black soap, or Bath & Body for broader moisturizing options.
