Mary Tylor Naturals Organic Shea Butter — 1 lb Raw Unrefined Ivory, USDA Certified for Hair & Skin

Mary Tylor Naturals Organic Shea Butter is a 1 lb raw, unrefined ivory shea from Ghana—pure, USDA certified, and ready for hair, skin, and DIY skincare projects.

This single-ingredient shea butter arrives in its natural ivory state, preserving vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that support moisture and texture without added preservatives or fragrance. Harvested and minimally processed, the butter keeps the scent and profile of traditionally prepared African shea, making it versatile for personal care and small-batch product making.

How does this shea butter improve my hair and skin routine?

The unrefined structure of this shea butter provides concentrated, emollient-rich nutrition that helps reduce dryness and smooth coarse textures. It melts on contact with body heat, allowing easy distribution through hair and skin while leaving a non-greasy protective layer when used correctly.

• Deeply conditions dry ends and scalp when massaged in sparingly.
• Softens rough patches and helps improve skin pliability.
• Mixes well with oils or butters for custom leave-in or rinse-out formulations.

What makes Mary Tylor Naturals Shea Butter different from refined butters?

This product is USDA certified organic and sold raw and unrefined, which preserves the natural ivory color, aroma, and nutrient profile that refining can strip away. The minimal processing retains naturally occurring compounds so you get a more authentic ingredient for clean-beauty formulations.

• Unrefined: no deodorizing or bleaching applied.
• Retains natural vitamins and antioxidants typical of traditional shea.
• Ivory color indicates minimal heat or chemical alteration.

How can I use this shea butter in DIY projects and formulations?

The butter is a stable, creamy base for soaps, creams, lip balms, and deodorants. Because it’s highly adaptable, you can melt and combine it with carrier oils, waxes, or essential oils to create personalized textures and scents for small-batch products.

• Use 5–30% in lotion formulas to add emollience and richness.
• Melt for soap and candle recipes, blending with coconut or olive oil.
• Whip cold for body butters or mix with beeswax for balms and salves.

How should I store and apply raw unrefined shea butter?

Keep the container sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its natural properties. For application, warm a small amount between your hands until it softens, then smooth over target areas. A little goes a long way.

• Store at room temperature in an opaque container to avoid oxidation.
• Use clean, dry tools or hands to scoop product to maintain purity.
• Patch-test on sensitive skin before full use if you have concerns.

Who is this for: Mary Tylor Naturals Organic Shea Butter is ideal for makers, formulators, and anyone seeking a single-ingredient, USDA certified organic base for hair and skin care. It suits users who prefer minimally processed ingredients, DIY creators who want a reliable raw butter for soap, balm, and lotion recipes, and people with dry or textured hair looking for a natural conditioning option. Because it is unrefined and unscented, it’s also a good canvas for adding botanicals or essential oils to tailor aroma and function without hidden additives.
