100% Pure Organic Shea Butter
This single-ingredient skincare staple is made with organic shea butter sourced from Ghana, West Africa. Because it is unrefined, the shea butter retains its naturally rich texture, characteristic aroma and creamy ivory-to-yellow appearance.
Shea butter acts as an emollient, helping soften the skin while creating a protective layer that reduces moisture loss. Its concentrated, water-free format makes it especially useful during dry Canadian winters or whenever hands, elbows, knees and feet need more than a lightweight lotion.

How to Use Unrefined Shea Butter
Remove a small amount with clean, dry hands. Warm it between your palms until it begins to soften, then massage it into the skin. For best results, apply after bathing or handwashing while the skin is still slightly damp.
For Dry Skin
Massage a small amount into dry hands, elbows, knees, heels or other areas requiring concentrated moisture.
For Lips and Cuticles
Warm a very small amount between your fingertips and apply as needed to dry lips or cuticles.
For Hair
Use sparingly on dry ends or textured hair. Start with a small amount to avoid weighing the hair down.
Ingredient
INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.

Good to Know
Pure unrefined shea butter naturally has a dense texture and a mild, earthy or nutty aroma. Its colour and texture may vary slightly between batches because it has not been bleached, deodorized or highly refined. These natural variations are not defects.
Store tightly closed in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Patch test before first use, particularly if you have highly sensitive skin or known nut or latex sensitivities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this shea butter scented?
No fragrance has been added. However, unrefined shea butter has its own naturally earthy, nutty aroma, which differs from completely deodorized refined shea butter.
Can shea butter be used as a daily moisturizer?
Yes. Shea butter can be used daily, especially on dry areas. Because it is concentrated, begin with a small amount and add more only when needed.
Why does shea butter sometimes feel firm or grainy?
Temperature changes can affect natural plant butters. Shea butter may become firm in cooler rooms or develop a slightly grainy texture after melting and cooling. Warm it between your hands before applying; this does not normally affect its usefulness.
