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 used for 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.

We are now proud to offer our refined Shea Butter as certified fair for life.

Great

I love this shea butter. It's great for the skin and I like that there isn't a strong smell as it's refined. There's only a faint hint of a scent that I find pleasant. It's good quality and works well in everything I've made with it so far, lip balms, cold processed soap and body butter
