What Is Shea And Why Is It Everything?

Shea butter comes from the nuts of the shea tree [also known as the karite tree] which grows wild in Central and Western Africa. This nut fat is high vitamins A and E and minerals. Shea butter has been used in cooking, as well as a skin soother, cuticle softener, makeup remover and hair conditioner. If you have a small cut or burn, immediately apply soothing shea butter to it. Shea butter also helps alleviate the pain from sunburns.

For those of you with dry skin, shea butter may be the most naturally moisturizing product you will ever use. Unscented and uncolored shea butter is recommended for those of you who have sensitive skin.

When added to soap, the lather becomes much more luxurious due to the superfatting that shea butter provides. To fully appreciate the benefits of shea, applying it directly to the skin will result in noticeable softness after it's been absorbed, a condition that lasts for up to 24 hours.  
Note: Shea butter isn't recommended for people who are allergic to nuts.

Gently Refined, Ultra Refined & New Unrefined Shea Butter

Now you can choose from two types of shea butter. Gently Refined has the wonderful creamy texture of the ultra refined, but it has a beige color, smells a bit stronger of nuts, and is slightly heavier. The Gently Refined Shea Butter is recommended for those of you who have very dry skin, especially dry, cracked feet, or whom require a heavier skin soothing moisturizer. It also retains more vitamins and minerals.

Ultra Refined Shea Butter is almost white in color, has no odor, and has a lighter texture. To purchase, just go to the Shea Butter page. Or check out the new Samplers for Shea Butter and Glycerin Soap!

Caring For Your Shea Butter

Packaged in heavy walled plastic jars, shea butter has a shelf life of approximately one year. If you live in a warm, humid climate, make sure you keep your shea butter in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration can be helpful. Otherwise, please keep the lid on the container tightly sealed and keep shea away from direct sunlight, radiators, stoves/ovens, and the inside of your vehicle during warm/hot weather.
