Refined Shea Butter Lemon Verbena

This shea butter is naturally refined by the women of Ghana. I fragrance it with my own blend of Lemon Verbena, a fresh citrus with herbal undertones. The shea is lightly whipped and softened with a touch of organic jojoba oil and vit E. Your skin will beg for more!

Shea Butter Information

Unrefined Shea Butter is 100% natural and absolutely no chemicals are used in the processing. This shea butter is processed by a fair trade womens co-op in Ghana Africa and is shipped fresh, ready to use. No preservatives or additives of any kind are used in my pure unrefined shea.

The high quality refined shea butter is processed using the laborious traditional method. The hand-collected nuts are similar in size to almonds. The nuts are removed from their shell and placed in a large mortar, pounded by hand to shred and then ground with a stone to a fine paste. The paste is initially the color of dark chocolate. It is washed with water for a number of times until the chocolate color turns into the rich creamy color of the final product. At that point it is boiled in a clarifier to reduce the moisture before being packaged for shipping.

You will find this butter to be ivory in color.

Ultra refined Shea Butter begins the same as the unrefined. But more steps are taken. Filters are used to further process the unrefined butter until it is bleached, odorless, white and creamy.

A little shea goes a long way. Simply soften a tiny amount in the palm of your hand and apply. As this is a butter, you will note it is heaver than most lotions. It takes a little while to be absorbed into the skin, but the wait is worth it!

Price is for one 2 fl. oz. tin
