NOW Foods 100% Pure Shea Butter 7 oz — Unrefined Body & Scalp Emollient, Hexane-Free Vegan Moisturizer

NOW Foods 100% Pure Shea Butter is a rich, all-natural emollient that locks in moisture to soften and condition dry, rough skin and can also be used on the scalp.

Rich in natural fatty acids, this unrefined shea butter from NOW Foods is formulated to nourish and smooth tougher areas like elbows, knees and feet while absorbing without a greasy residue. Sourced from Butyrospermum Parkii (shea) tree nuts, the creamy texture works as a daily body butter and a targeted moisturizer wherever skin needs extra conditioning. Packaged in the USA with GMP quality oversight, this product is hexane-free and vegan, offering a straightforward option for anyone seeking a pure plant-based emollient.

How will this shea butter improve my dry, rough skin?

Shea butter acts as an emollient that helps soften and condition the outer layer of skin, making rough patches feel smoother and more supple. It absorbs into thicker skin areas to help reduce dryness and adds a protective feel that helps reduce moisture loss from the surface.

• 100% pure Butyrospermum Parkii (shea) butter for concentrated moisturizing.
• Designed for thicker areas: elbows, knees, heels and hands.
• Non-greasy feel that still provides lasting surface hydration.
• Hexane-free processing preserves natural nutrients and scent.

Can I use NOW shea butter on my scalp and hair?

Yes — its rich, creamy texture makes it suitable for targeting dry scalp and adding conditioning to hair ends. Apply sparingly to the scalp or use as a smoothing treatment on dry strands, then style as usual.

• Use a small amount for scalp massage to help moisturize dry patches.
• Rub a pea-sized amount between palms and smooth through hair ends to reduce frizz.
• Can double as an overnight hair mask when used sparingly on lengths.

How should I apply this shea butter for best results?

Apply to clean, slightly damp skin to help lock in moisture after bathing, or massage lightly into particularly dry spots at any time. For scalp or hair, use a small amount to avoid build-up and concentrate on dry patches or split ends.

• Warm a small amount between palms before applying for easier spreadability.
• Use after showering to trap moisture in the skin barrier.
• For hair, focus on ends and dry sections; rinse if heavy application is used on scalp.
• Store in a cool, dry place to preserve texture and freshness.
