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.

Thank you so much :- )

Super impressed with the quality & speedy delivery. I love your shea butter as a comforting salve & effective lip balm. I carry a little tin of it wherever I go. Best supplier in all the land & the points are so wonderfully generous. In a world full of disappointments, your product & service is so good that I stood in silent gratitude.

Thank you beautiful Ghana growers & Team PureNature NZ :- )

Super moisturising

Fantastic for making a thick hand cream (I used a recipe for "body butter" but prefer to use it as an overnight hand cream). It feels a little greasy but is excellent for moisturising dry skin. Note that it comes as solid blocks (see photo) which can take a bit of effort to break in to usable amounts if you are only making small batches, but this is manageable.
