What makes this raw shea butter different from refined alternatives?

Unlike refined versions, this shea butter keeps its natural composition and subtle aroma because it is unrefined and minimally processed. You get a fuller texture and more of the characteristics raw makers prefer for natural formulations and direct skin use.

• Cold-processed to preserve natural fatty acids and texture
• Ivory white color from careful filtration, not bleaching
• No synthetic fragrances, fillers, or chemical additives
• Packaged in Kraft foil bags to protect from light and air

How can I use it in my daily skincare and hair routine?

The butter melts on contact with body heat and spreads smoothly for targeted hydration. Use it as a leave-on moisturizer, scalp treatment, or overnight hand and foot salve. It also mixes well with essential oils and carrier oils for customized blends.

• Massage into scalp or hair ends as a pre-wash treatment or styling balm
• Mix with oils and waxes to create body butters, balms, or creams
• Use as a base for lip balm, lotion bars, soap recipes, and DIY skincare

Is this product suitable for making cosmetics and soap at home?

Yes — its unrefined texture and neutral profile make it a reliable ingredient for artisan soap, lotion, and lip-balm formulations. Because the butter is pure, you can control scents, preservatives, and additional actives in finished products.

• Works as a primary butter in cold-process and melt-and-pour soap formulas
• Excellent base for lotion cremes and whipped body butters
• Stable with common cosmetic carriers like jojoba, almond, and coconut oil
• Large 32 oz size reduces packaging waste for makers and small businesses

How does sourcing and packaging impact quality and ethics?

Era of Nature partners with women's cooperatives in Ghana to source shea that supports local livelihoods. The Kraft foil packaging preserves the butter’s freshness and reduces contamination risk during storage and transport.

• Ethically sourced from cooperative producers in Ghana
• Supports sustainable farming and community income generation
• Freshness-protecting Kraft foil bags secure product integrity
• Large format minimizes frequency of repurchasing, lowering shipping footprint
