Yajna Organic Raw African Shea Butter 8 oz Ivory — 100% Pure Unrefined Moisturizer & DIY Base

Yajna Organic Raw African Shea Butter is a 100% pure, unrefined Grade A ivory shea butter designed to deeply moisturize and nourish skin, hair and DIY beauty blends.

Harvested and minimally processed to retain natural nutrients, this unrefined African shea butter arrives in an 8 oz jar with a creamy ivory color and a velvety texture. It’s intended as a multi-purpose emollient for daily moisturizing, spot treatments on rough areas, and as a base for homemade creams, balms, lotions, and soaps. The absence of additives preserves antioxidants, fatty acids and vitamins that support skin softness and hair manageability while allowing full control when mixing with essential oils or botanicals.

How will this shea butter improve dry or rough skin?

Yajna’s raw shea butter acts as a rich emollient that helps reduce surface dryness and restore a softer texture. It sits on the skin to lock in moisture and condition rough areas without synthetic fillers.

• Deeply hydrates elbows, knees, feet and cuticles
• Soft, spreadable consistency that melts on contact with body heat
• High content of fatty acids for barrier support
• No added fragrances or chemicals that can strip moisture

Can I use this on my face and scalp safely?

Yes — formulated as pure, unrefined shea butter, it’s suitable for targeted facial moisture and scalp treatments when applied sparingly. Those with oily or acne-prone skin should test a small area first to check tolerance.

• Light layer on dry patches or chapped lips
• Massage into scalp roots for conditioning and reduced frizz
• Works well as an overnight spot treatment for dry areas
• Use diluted or blended for lighter facial application

How does this shea butter perform in DIY cosmetics and soap making?

The butter provides a stable, creamy base that emulsifies well with oils and waxes, making it a reliable ingredient for homemade skincare and soap recipes. Its natural scent and ivory tone keep formulations authentic and minimally processed.

• Ideal base for creams, lotions, balms and solid body butters
• Blends cleanly with carrier oils, essential oils and beeswax
• Enhances bar soap hardness and conditioning properties
• Stable at room temperature; easy to melt and rework

What makes Grade A, raw, unrefined shea butter different?

Grade A indicates minimal processing and a preserved nutrient profile: antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids remain intact. Unrefined shea retains natural ivory color and subtle nutty aroma, unlike refined versions that undergo bleaching and deodorizing.

• Kept free from additives, preservatives and chemical processing
• Retains vitamins A and E and protective fatty acids
• Natural scent and color signal minimal refinement
• Better suited for clean-beauty and natural DIY formulations

Who is this for? Yajna Organic Raw African Shea Butter is made for people seeking a high-quality, natural moisturizer and formulation base: anyone with dry or rough skin, DIY beauty makers who want a pure ingredient, and those wanting a single multi-use product for face, body and hair. It’s particularly useful for consumers who prefer unrefined, additive-free cosmetics and want to customize their own lotions, balms, or soaps.
