Product details

Description

Experience the intense moisture of Better Shea Butter, an authentic 100 percent pure, unrefined African shea butter imported directly for your skincare needs. This nutrient-rich, raw shea butter is harvested through traditional West African processing, retaining its natural vitamins A, E, and F to provide deep hydration for the face, body, and hair. Because it remains in its raw, unrefined state, it features a distinct, natural smoky aroma and a solid texture, serving as the perfect premium base for creating your own personalized DIY beauty products, including whipped body lotions, soaps, and nourishing lip balms.

Designed for those who prioritize natural skincare, this shea butter excels at sealing in moisture for coarse, curly, or dry hair types and soothing itchy scalps. It is equally effective for treating severely dry, cracked skin, providing a protective barrier that promotes softness and elasticity. Whether you are addressing specific skin concerns like stretch marks or simply seeking a chemical-free, versatile moisturizer, this 8 Ounce block offers high-quality, authentic performance. Its rich, emollient profile makes it a staple for anyone looking to incorporate traditional, raw beauty ingredients into their daily self-care routine.

How to use

  1. For skin: Scoop a small amount and rub it directly between your palms; the friction will melt the butter, allowing you to smooth it onto your face, elbows, or stretch marks.
  2. For hair: Warm a pea-sized amount in your hands and apply it to the ends of your hair as a leave-in sealant or massage it directly into the scalp.

    Natural and raw product. Works great!!!!

    Absolutely fantastic quality. Im not breaking out from it. Very natural raw smell which is indicative of its natural raw nature. So pure that I even used it on my face. The smoky smell from this product is normal. The shea butter was fresh.

    I love the Shea butter from Better Shea Butter and the ...

    I love the Shea butter from Better Shea Butter and the customer service is outstanding. I recently made the most awesome sunscreen lotion bars with the Shea butter, And am thrilled with the results - these lotion bars came out firm, but soft and smooth and moisturizing to the skin. - I almost wish I could eat them!I rarely use sunscreen until I made my own because there is nothing I like on the market! I think the high quality of the shea butter was a big factor in the the success of this sunscreen recipe. These sunscreen bars are so pretty / they are in the shape if daisies and would make great gifts. The shea butter was a pleasure to work with; it has a pleasant smell, and has a nice consistency kind of like the Play Dough I used to play with as a kid- except the shea butter is more luxurious with a very nice snell.!. Better Shea butter is not gritty like some other brands. Thank goodness I found the Better Shea Butter company as I did not like any of the other brands I tried. I have to comment on the customer service , and I am very impressed. I had lots of questions and the shea butter lady always responded quickly by phone and email. I am so exited to make lip balm and body butter next . I just ordered the cocoa butter from Better Shea Butter and can't wait to use it - I think I will try a chocolate peppermint body butter recipe - I'll let you know how it turns out !I just made a batch of vanilla bean body butter with the better Shea butter and I can't believe I made it! It is divine and luxurious and smells heavenly. I went for many years not using body lotion because I didn't like any of them on the market- now I can honestly say that I truly enjoy using this product; especially knowing that there are no harmful chemicals. In so excited that I found the Better Shea Butter company!

    Good product, versatile and very healing to the skin

    The shipping was fast and the shea butter arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. The shea butter is very good quality. I saw some reviews that "it stinks". I don't think it stinks and neither does my boyfriend. It has a nutty smell. You do have to get used to it but it's not unpleasant to me, however I suppose that can be a personal preference.I have found this shea butter heals the skin. I LOVE it as a facial moisturizer, because it doesn't clog my pores. Coconut oil always made me break out. And I've had skin that could easily break out with most moisturizers, including jojoba oil.Apparently shea butter is a ZERO on the comedogenic scale of 0 to 5 (coconut oil is a 4 which explains to me why it clogged my pores and broke me out every time I tried to use it). I was a bit wary to use it on my face, but I can now say after use for a couple of weeks that I had no breakout at all, and my skin is looking wonderful - I especially love using it as an eye cream. It really improves the skin around the eye area and doesn't irritate my eyes, unlike the many expensive eye creams I've used, which did jack s*** for my eye area. This makes my skin healthy. It heals cuts and wounds. It is great for hands, feet, everything, and ALL natural. I don't like the recipes to add it to coconut oil because for me, coconut oil just cheapens the wonderful rich shea quality. I mixed it with lavender essential oil and use it as my face and eye cream. Totally will buy this again.The free ebook comes as soon as you enter the confirmation code from your order, so it was prompt. While I didn't use all the recipes, it's nice to have some guides on how to mix it up. I will use it with many essential oils for various uses.Great product, great service. I do wish it was a little less expensive, but other than that, 5 stars!UPDATE JULY 30, 2015I'm pregnant with our first baby (30 weeks - over 7 months) and used this as a pure moisturizer throughout, it has worked nicely, still never causes any breakouts either. I use it on my belly, and any areas where women get stretch marks, after every shower. So far, my skin is supple and never has itched (I hear many pregnant women get itchy skin on their bellies because the skin is stretching). I make sure to drink lots of water and use my shea butter on my skin, and have felt quite comfortable, so I like this a lot. I've already ordered a couple of times, and will certainly order again. Good value, great product, and has many uses! A favorite for me (:

FAQs

Is raw African shea butter good for your face?

Yes, it is highly effective for the face due to its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids. It provides deep, long-lasting moisture, though it is best used in moderation if you have oily skin.

Why does raw shea butter smell smoky?

The natural, smoky scent is a hallmark of authentic, unrefined shea butter processed using traditional West African methods. This confirms the product has not been chemically bleached or deodorized.

What is the difference between refined and unrefined shea butter?

Unrefined shea butter is extracted manually without chemicals, preserving its natural color, scent, and full nutrient profile. Refined shea butter undergoes processing to remove the scent and color, which often strips away some of its natural vitamins and healing properties.
