Yellow Brick Road Raw African Shea Butter 2 lb Ivory — 100% Unrefined, Grade A, Chemical-Free

Yellow Brick Road Ivory Raw African Unrefined Shea Butter is a 100% pure, Grade A, chemical-free shea butter imported from Ghana and sold here in a convenient 2 lb package for personal care and DIY formulations.

This raw ivory shea butter arrives straight from Ghana, preserved in its unrefined state so it retains natural color, scent and beneficial lipids. It’s ideal for formulators, small-batch makers and everyday users who want a single-ingredient base that’s free from additives, fragrance or processing agents. Responsibly sourced and offered in flexible order sizes, the product supports ethical supply chains while giving you a versatile, stable fat to work with.

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

Unlike processed or deodorized shea butters, this product is left in its raw, unrefined state so it keeps the natural aroma, ivory tone and full composition of plant nutrients. That means you get an unaltered ingredient rather than one that has been bleached, filtered or mixed with fragrance.

• 100% raw and unrefined—no added chemicals or artificial scents
• Grade A ivory color preserved through minimal handling
• Slight natural aroma rather than fragrance-masked scent
• Stable, solid texture suitable for melting and blending

How can I use this shea butter in personal care or DIY projects?

This shea butter works as a base for lotions, balms, soaps, hair masks and body butters. It melts smoothly over low heat, mixes easily with oils and waxes, and can be combined with essential oils or actives to make custom products.

• Melt-and-pour formulations: body butters, balms, and salves
• Soapmaking: solid fat for cold-process and melt-and-pour recipes
• Hair treatments: hot oil masks and deep-conditioning blends
• Small-batch cosmetics: combine with oils, waxes, and actives

How should I store and handle raw shea butter to keep it at its best?

Keep the butter in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to preserve its texture and natural properties. If it softens during warm conditions, briefly refrigerate or store in a temperature-controlled area; it will return to a firm consistency at room temperature.

• Store in airtight container away from heat and sunlight
• Refrigerate if exposed to sustained high temperatures
• Use clean utensils to avoid contamination of the bulk product
• Label opened containers with date and batch info for inventory
