Better Shea Butter Raw Shea Butter 8 oz Jar — 100% Pure Unrefined African Shea, Smoky Scent & Deep Moisture

Raw Shea Butter by Better Shea Butter is a 100% pure, unrefined African shea butter in an easy-scoop 8 oz jar that moisturizes dry skin, nourishes hair and serves as a base for DIY skincare.

This unrefined shea butter comes straight from an ethical women's cooperative in Ghana and is gently filtered to preserve its natural, smoky-nutty aroma and nutrient-rich texture. Because it is unrefined, the butter retains vitamins and fatty acids that create a thick, emollient balm ideal for hands, elbows, heels, hair ends and handmade cosmetics. The convenient jar format eliminates chopping or melting — scoop and apply, or blend into creams, lip balms, or soap recipes.

How will this shea butter help my very dry, cracked skin?

This formula offers deep, long-lasting moisture by forming a protective emollient layer that helps skin feel softer and smoother. It is particularly effective on thick, rough areas like knees and heels, and a small amount spreads widely because of its concentrated consistency.

• Rich, concentrated texture for targeted hydration
• Soothes rough, cracked spots on elbows, knees and heels
• Non-fragranced base—natural smoky scent only
• Small application goes a long way for daily maintenance

Can I use this shea butter on my face and sensitive skin?

Yes — the product is 100% pure and unrefined with no added fragrances or synthetic ingredients, making it suitable for many skin types. Use sparingly on the face or blend with lighter carrier oils if you prefer a thinner, faster-absorbing moisturizer.

• Pure ingredient list reduces exposure to irritants
• Works alone as a heavy night moisturizer or with oils for daytime
• Suitable for sensitive, dry, oily, and acne-prone skin when used correctly
• Natural aroma typically subsides after application or mixing

How can I apply this shea butter to hair and scalp?

The thick, nutrient-dense butter melts on contact with body heat and can be used as a leave-in, pre-shampoo mask, or as part of the LOC method for enhanced moisture retention. It’s particularly beneficial for textured and curly hair types that need extra slip and hydration.

• Use as a scalp moisturizer to help reduce dryness and flaking
• Apply to ends to tame frizz and add shine to textured hair
• Works well for deep-conditioning masks and leave-in treatments
• Combine with oils or essential oils for customized hair blends

Is this product good for making DIY body butters, lip balms, or soap?

Absolutely — the raw, unrefined butter is a versatile base for homemade skincare and cosmetics. Its stable consistency and lack of added fragrance make it easy to melt, mix, and measure for recipes ranging from balms to whipped butters and cold-process soaps.

• Clean, simple base for lip balms, lotions, soaps and deodorants
• Reliable texture for whipping into airy body butters
• Ethically sourced from a Ghanaian women’s cooperative
• Natural smoky-nutty scent blends well with essential oils
