What is Raw African Shea Butter (Yellow), and why is it different from regular lotions?

It’s a 100% natural fat from the shea tree nut, rich in fatty acids and vitamins A/E. Unlike water-based lotions, pure shea butter forms a nourishing, occlusive layer that helps seal in moisture and soften rough, dry skin.

How do I use it on skin and hair?

Warm a pea-to-dime-sized amount between your palms until it melts, then massage onto damp skin (face, body, hands, feet) or smooth a tiny amount over hair ends and scalp as a sealant. A little goes a long way.

Can it help with dehydrated skin, eczema, minor burns, or joint discomfort?

Many people find shea butter soothing for dryness and rough patches, and comforting on weather-exposed skin. For conditions like eczema, burns, or arthritis pain, it may help moisturize and protect—but it isn't a medical treatment. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis or persistent symptoms.

What's the difference between yellow and white shea butter?

Yellow shea butter typically has a naturally deeper color (sometimes from traditional processing or added natural root/color) and a nuttier scent; white/ivory is usually more filtered or refined. Both moisturize effectively; choose based on your texture and scent preferences.

Any tips for storage, patch testing, and shelf life?

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from heat/sun; it can soften or grain if temperature fluctuates (still safe to use—just warm between palms). Patch test on the inner arm 24 hours before first use, especially if you have nut sensitivities. With proper storage, raw shea butter typically keeps well for 12–24 months.
