Wildcrafted Shea Butter Unrefined

4oz.

Shea butter is obtained from the natural fat of the fruit from the karite tree. It is widely used as a moisturizer and makes a wonderful choice for use in homemade lotions. This is one of the "softer" textured butters -- so it melts easily upon skin contact.

This shea butter has not undergone any refining techniques, which means it stills holds 100% of its natural, skin-healing benefits. It has a wonderful creamy-smooth texture with a beautiful olive-yellow hue. We source this butter from a "fair trade" organization which means the small-time producers are paid a fair price for the time they put into making this butter. Though this product is not certified organic, its as close as it gets, as it has been made from hand gathered, wildcrafted shea nuts.

Please note that this butter does hold its natural "woodfire scent." It's not as strong as some unrefined shea butter, but it is still (what I'd call) a medium to light scent, one that might easily be masked by essential or fragrance oils.

There are a lot of various grades of shea butter on the market, many of them have been processed with bleach and other chemical refining methods that in the end leave the finished product depleted of its natural benefits. You can feel, and even see, the difference in this butter!

Try using this product directly on your skin ... it works great for stretch marks, extremely dry or on various skin issues like eczema.
