Description

Shea butter is obtained from the seeds of the Karite tree (Butyrospermum parkii) common in several African countries. This soft, pliant 'butter' is pressed from the seeds and then purified for use in soaps, cosmetics and toiletries. 
This product has been ethically produced and sustainably refined to yield a white and practically odourless butter, ideal for cosmetic use.

Just as good

Just as good as the unrefined expensive versions but doesn’t have the pungent aroma. I made a big pot of everyday everywhere butter with some hemp oil and lots of frankincense. It had a lovely fluffy rich texture, not at all oily. I only make things for myself.
