Raw unrefined Shea butter

---

  Why We Use It:
Our raw, unrefined shea butter is handcrafted the traditional way—cold-pressed from the nuts of African Vitellaria paradoxa trees and never chemically processed. This preserves its full spectrum of nutrients, earthy aroma, and signature ivory-to-beige hue (a mark of purity!). Unlike refined versions, our shea butter delivers maximum bioactive benefits straight from nature.

🌿 Skin Benefits of RAW, UNREFINED Shea Butter

1. POTENT NUTRIENT DENSITY
   • Higher vitamin & antioxidant content (refining strips away 50%+ of vitamins A/E!).
   • Naturally rich       in allantoin (soothes) and triterpenes (supports       collagen).

1. DEEPLY REPAIRING & PROTECTIVE
   • Unfiltered fatty acids (oleic, stearic) mimic skin lipids to rebuild moisture barriers in       cracked or irritated skin.
   • Anti-inflammatory compounds (lupeol, cinnamic acid) remain intact for calming redness.

1. TRUE "LIVING" SKIN FOOD
   • Contains natural latex (lost in refining) that gives raw shea its legendary elasticity-boosting properties.
   • Phytosterols in their original state help slow moisture loss.

1. GENTLE YET POWERFUL
   • No bleach/solvents = zero residue, making it ideal for eczema, baby care, or sensitive skin.
   • The mild, nutty scent is a hallmark of minimal processing.

     

🌍 Why RAW Matters: Ethics & Ecology

• Maximizes Fair-Trade Impact: Raw processing supports traditional African women’s cooperatives.
• No Hexane/Deodorizers: Unlike refined shea, ours is free from industrial chemicals.
• Biodegradable & Zero-Waste: From tree to jar, every step honors sustainability.

How We Use It:
In our body butters and facial products, raw shea butter is the hero ingredient, delivering deep nourishment that melts into your skin and lasts for hours.
