Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, shea butter is a nutrient-rich cosmetic butter that delivers deep moisture to soothe and repair dry, itchy, and cracked skin, keeping it healthy and glowing. Its properties make it excellent for evening out skin tone and reducing blemishes, dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Shea butter can also be applied to the scalp and hair to boost growth, manage frizz, and lock in moisture.
This semi-soft butter melts upon contact with the skin, making it versatile for direct use or mixing with other ingredients to create personalized skin and hair care products. Shea butter is vegan and suitable for all skin types. For those needing larger quantities, bulk shea butter is available in a convenient 5lb block, making it ideal for extensive use.
Unrefined Shea Butter is a completely natural product. The color of the butter can thus vary between ivory or gray and can sometimes have a green tint to it. It has a natural nutty/smoky smell.
Our Shea Butter comes from the nuts of the Shea Tree (Vitellaria Paradoxa) in Ghana, Africa . The Shea tree has been nicknamed “Tree of Life,” for its ability to help with numerous skin, hair, and health conditions. Shea Butter itself is also known as “Mother Nature’s Conditioner” for its exceptional moisturizing and softening properties.
This butter is known to soothe and hydrate mature skin as well as skin that has been damaged by the harsh effects of the elements.
*Shea Butter is made from Shea Nuts. If you have a nut allergy we recommend trying one of our other cosmetic butters

Melt a pea size amount of the butter between your hands and apply to your face or body. You may also mix this into homemade skin and hair care products.
In addition, you can use Shea Butter as a scalp treatment to moisturize the scalp and stimulate hair growth. It can also be used as a hair serum to tame frizzy hair and lock in moisture. For scalp: ensure scalp is damp, then melt a small amount of shea butter in your hands, and massage into the scalp. For a serum, dampen the hair, then melt a small amount of shea butter in your hands and scrunch it into or run it over your hair.
When not in use store Shea Butter sealed in its original packaging, or in a container such as a jar with a lid. Keep in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight. If temperatures are above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, store in the fridge.

I use this unrefined shea butter for many products I make for my skincare line and am thrilled with the quality, freshness, and the fair price for the 5 lb pack.
How it was attractively packed was so pretty and thoughtful too!
Thank you, Better Shea Butter! I am so glad you’re here and will be purchasing again.
I use the unrefined shea for a variety of products I manufacture
It feels good in its raw form, not too soft but just soft enough to use right away. The smell is amazing, not too powerful, but distinct. It melts well, and blends well with other oils for recipes that require it
So glad it comes in large batches like this as it is great value for money!
I've purchased this brand several times and have always been pleased with the quality. This was my first time ordering in bulk, and unfortunately, the scent was noticeably off. I made a batch of body butter for an upcoming event, and the smell was unpleasant enough that I won't be able to use it. Really disappointed this time around.
