Shea Butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). It is ivory in colour when raw, with more processed version being white, although it is commonly dyed yellow with borututu root or palm oil.

Our Virgin Unrefined African Shea Butter is extracted from the Shea nut and left completely unrefined.

Our Shea butter is of grade A

Unrefined shea butter is further categorized into grades ranging from A to F, with grade A being the best quality.

Our shea butter products are manufactured manually, and principally without the use of chemicals or bleaching agents. Since it is extracted manually, it is able to retain its vitamins, minerals, and other natural properties.

If you’re brought unrefined shea butter (Viterallia Paradoxa), the color is going to either be beige or ivory or ‘off white’. Some people just call this white. However, the real white color is when the shea butter is refined. It can sell as ultra refined shea butter, they process the shea butter through multiple filtering systems and bleach it, which makes it lose its natural ivory/beige color. This is what gives you the stark white shea butter."
