Raw Unrefined Organic Shea Butter (Yellow) – 250g

Description

• Shea Butter: Available in both Yellow and Ivory varieties, our shea butter is 100% pure, unrefined, and sourced from West Africa. The yellow shea butter is infused with the roots of the Borututu tree (a traditional African herb) to enhance its antioxidant profile, while the ivory shea butter is the raw, natural form. Both are packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E, making them deeply moisturizing and nourishing for all skin types. Shea butter has been used for millennia by African women to protect skin from harsh weather and keep it soft and supple.
• Shea Butter: Packaged in airtight, food-grade containers to preserve freshness. Our shea butter comes in blocks or jars and is available in 250g (8.8 oz) and 1kg (35.2 oz) sizes. Dimensions vary by container; for example, a 250g jar might be about 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter and 8 cm (3 inches) tall. The butter is ivory to yellow in color and has a creamy texture. It is 100% natural – no additives or preservatives – and should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality.
• Shea Butter: For best results, warm a small amount of shea butter between your palms until it melts slightly and apply it to clean, damp skin. Gently massage it into your skin, focusing on dry areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Shea butter can also be used as a lip balm or hair conditioner. Store your shea butter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If it gets too soft, pop it in the refrigerator to firm it up again. A little goes a long way – a small dab is sufficient for your entire body
• Shea Butter – Women’s Gold: Shea butter is often called “women’s gold” in West Africa, where it has been used by women for thousands of years. It is derived from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), which grows in the savanna regions across Africa. Women collect the shea nuts, crack and roast them, then grind them into a paste and knead it with water to extract the butter. This labor-intensive process is traditionally done by women in cooperatives, and it’s a cherished practice passed down through generations. The butter is then molded into blocks or jars. Our yellow shea butter gets its golden hue from the Borututu root, a traditional herbal addition that not only colors the butter but also imparts medicinal properties. This yellow shea butter is known to have stronger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The ivory shea butter is the raw, unadulterated form, prized for its rich vitamin content. By using shea butter, we honor the wisdom of African women and support sustainable livelihoods in shea-producing communities
• Locally Sourced Ingredients: Our shea butter is ethically sourced from West Africa—renowned for producing the finest quality shea—but every product is proudly made in South Africa. We blend these rich African ingredients with locally sourced oils and packaging, supporting South African suppliers and communities. Each jar reflects the harmony of African heritage and South African craftsmanship, bringing you a product that’s authentically African, proudly South African.
