Shea Butter

Raw, unrefined shea butter with a gorgeous ivory color and a rich, nutty aroma! Our shea butter is a thick butter that’s solid at room temperature, and melts easily. It’s full of antioxidants, and Vitamins A and E, making it supremely nourishing for skin, even very dry, chronically irritated, or recovering skin. This shea butter is processed by a fair trade organization in Togo, using a traditional, time-intensive method that preserves its integrity. While the term unrefined often brings to mind cold-pressed oils, traditional shea butter is prepared in a way that reflects both care and cultural heritage. The nuts are hand-harvested, lightly roasted over fire, a necessary step to bring out their rich oils, then ground, churned, and separated by hand. It's not cold-pressed in the modern industrial sense, but it is minimally processed, using water and gentle heat rather than solvents or chemicals. The result is a deeply nourishing butter, rich in natural compounds and made with generations of skill.
