As Pure as It Gets. Nothing Added. Nothing Removed.
This is shea butter in its most natural, unaltered form. The 100% Raw African Unrefined Yellow Shea Butter is sourced directly from Africa and contains absolutely nothing else — no added oils, no fragrance, no preservatives, no whipping agents. Just pure, raw yellow shea butter with its full natural nutrient profile completely intact. If you want the most natural, most potent form of shea available, this is it.
Key Benefits
- 100% Pure Raw Shea – Nothing added, nothing removed. The most natural form of shea butter available, with zero processing beyond extraction.
- Full Nutrient Profile Intact – Raw unrefined yellow shea retains all of its natural vitamins A, E, and F, essential fatty acids, and healing compounds — the complete package that processing strips away.
- Deeply Nourishing – Rich in fatty acids that penetrate the skin barrier to deliver intense, lasting moisture. Especially effective on very dry, cracked, or damaged skin.
- Versatile Use – Can be used as a standalone body moisturizer, a hair treatment, a lip balm, or as a base for DIY skincare formulations.
Scent Profile
The natural, earthy nutty scent of raw African shea — more pronounced than whipped or refined versions. This is the authentic scent of unprocessed shea butter.
How to Use
- Warm a small amount between palms — body heat will soften it quickly.
- Massage into skin in circular motions, focusing on dry or rough areas.
- Use on body, hair, scalp, lips, or anywhere that needs intense moisture.
- A little goes a long way — start with a small amount and add more as needed.
Who It's For
Ideal for skincare purists, DIY formulators, and anyone who wants the most natural, unprocessed moisturizer possible. Also great for very dry or cracked skin, hair and scalp care, and as a base ingredient for homemade body butters, balms, and creams.
