Organic Shea Butter, Refined

(Organic) Shea butter, refined

Our refined shea butter is white in color and has a neutral scent. Refined shea butter retains its rich texture and high content of stearic and oleic acids, which make shea butter a valued ingredient in personal care products.

Refined shea butter is widely used in body butters, creams, lotions, hand and lip care products, as well as in hair masks and conditioners. It is also valued as a natural thickening and consistency-enhancing ingredient, contributing to the texture and stability of creams and lotions.

In the production process for refined organic shea butter, shea nuts are harvested, crushed into a paste, and then refined at temperatures of approximately 150 °C. At this high temperature, the shea butter evaporates, passes through a cooling system, and condenses, forming a buttery, nearly white, and odorless paste. We also have organic shea butter available.
