SmellGood Purest Ivory Unrefined African RAW Real Shea Butter is a 5 lb, handmade, unrefined shea butter imported from Ghana, offered as a high‑grade raw ingredient for skin, hair, and cosmetic use.

Harvested and prepared using traditional methods in Ghana, this unrefined ivory shea butter is sold in a 5‑pound bulk format for formulators, bodycare makers, and individuals who prefer raw base ingredients. SmellGood has imported and quality‑tested African shea butter for over a decade and can provide current lab reports on request. This product is the top‑grade, unrefined variety—solid at room temperature with a creamy texture and natural scent—and is commonly used as a moisturiser, emollient, and base for creams, balms, and hair treatments.

What makes this shea butter different from refined or whipped varieties?

Unlike refined or whipped shea butters, this unrefined ivory shea butter has not been deodorized or stripped of its natural components. It retains its native composition and texture, making it suitable for formulators who want an untouched base or consumers seeking minimal processing.

• Unrefined: no chemical deodorization or heavy processing.
• Ivory color and natural aroma, indicating minimal alteration.
• Handmade in Ghana using traditional extraction methods.
• Sold in a 5 lb bulk format for cost‑effective use in recipes and production.

How do I use this shea butter for skin and hair care?

Use a small amount warmed between your palms until it softens, then apply as a thin layer to dry skin, rough patches, or hair ends. For cosmetic production, melt and incorporate it into oil phases of creams, balms, or soaps according to your formulation guidelines.

• Topical: rub in until melted, apply 1–3 times daily as needed.
• Hair: apply to ends or use as a pre‑wash mask for added conditioning.
• Formulation: gently melt and blend with carrier oils and emulsifiers.
• Storage: keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is this product suitable for cosmetic production and labeling?

Yes — the product is sold as raw, unrefined shea butter suitable as an ingredient for cosmetic manufacturers, soapmakers, and small batch producers. SmellGood can provide lab reports for the current inventory, helping with ingredient transparency and compliance.

• Bulk 5 lb format reduces repacking steps for small manufacturers.
• Lab test reports available on request for quality verification.
• Natural, unrefined base compatible with many formulations.
• Handmade origin noted on labeling: imported from Ghana.

How should I store and handle raw shea butter to keep it fresh?

Store the shea butter sealed in its container, away from heat and sunlight to preserve texture and scent. Use clean utensils to remove portions and reseal promptly to minimise contamination and extend shelf life.

• Keep container tightly closed between uses.
• Store at stable, cool room temperatures (avoid high heat).
• Use a dry, clean scoop to portion product.
• Label with arrival/opening date for inventory tracking.
