Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 8 oz. 100% Pure Natural

Harvested and minimally processed, this ivory shea butter delivers concentrated fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and F in a thick, creamy paste. Because it's unrefined and sourced from traditional producers in Ghana, it retains the natural compounds that make it suitable as a multi-purpose moisturizer, a hair sealant, and a base for homemade skincare and lip care products.

What makes this shea butter different from refined versions?

Unrefined shea butter keeps more of its native nutrients and aromas because it avoids high-heat bleaching and deodorizing. That preserves fatty acids and vitamins that support hydration and skin barrier conditioning without added chemicals.

• Cold- or low-heat processing preserves vitamins and natural sterols.
• No fillers, fragrances, or synthetic preservatives added.
• Ivory color indicates minimal refining while remaining mild.

How can I use it on my skin and what results should I expect?

Use a small amount warmed between your palms on dry patches, elbows, heels, or lips to help lock in moisture. It creates an emollient layer that smooths rough skin and supports softer texture with regular use, though results will vary by skin type.

• Apply to cracked skin, calluses, or dry hands for overnight repair.
• Mix with oils or essential oils for a personalized body balm.
• Use sparingly on the face if you have oily or acne-prone skin; patch-test first.

Can I use this shea butter on hair and scalp?

Yes — it can be worked into dry ends and massaged into the scalp to help reduce brittleness and add shine. The butter melts with body heat, making it easy to distribute; it can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment or a leave-in sealant in small amounts.

• Apply to damp hair ends to seal in moisture after conditioning.
• Melt a small scoop for a scalp massage to help hydrate dry skin.
• Ideal for processed, heat-damaged, or naturally curly hair types needing extra moisture.

Is this shea butter suitable for DIY skincare and lip balms?

Absolutely — its consistent texture and lack of additives make it a dependable base for handmade soaps, creams, balms, and salves. Because it blends well with carrier oils and waxes, you can tailor melting points and scents for custom recipes.

• Use as a base for lip balms, salves, and solid moisturizers.
• Combine with coconut oil or beeswax to adjust softness and stability.
• Works well in cold-process soaps and whipped body butter recipes.
