Perfect for direct use or as a premium base for DIY beauty creations. ## Description This is 100% raw, unrefined shea butter from Africa, valued for its naturally occurring fatty acids and vitamins that help support the skin’s moisture barrier. Widely used as a rich, natural moisturizer, shea butter helps leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated, making it a popular choice for daily skincare for people of all ages and skin types. This shea butter is sourced from a dedicated women’s cooperative in Ghana that we have worked with for years. Their traditional methods help preserve the natural quality of the butter while supporting fair wages and sustainable livelihoods. Because it is unrefined, this shea butter retains its natural characteristics. It has a nutty, smoky aroma created during traditional roasting methods in West Africa, and the scent may vary from batch to batch. It also has a naturally variable appearance, ranging from off-white or ivory to light yellow depending on the batch. These variations are normal and reflect authentic, unrefined shea butter. Shea butter is especially useful as a rich moisturizer for very dry, rough, and cracked skin. It can be applied daily to areas like hands, elbows, knees, and very dry feet. A small amount melts easily with the warmth of your hands, making it simple to apply, and a little goes a long way. It can also be used as a natural face moisturizer and is suitable for a variety of skin types including dry, oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. In addition to skincare, raw shea butter is widely used for hair and scalp care. It helps moisturize dry strands, reduce frizz, and add natural shine, making it especially beneficial for curly, thick, and textured hair, including 4C hair types. It can be used as a leave-in conditioner, as part of the LOC method, or blended into homemade hair treatments. This shea butter is carefully filtered for a clean, smooth texture suitable for direct use or for making DIY skincare products. It is commonly used to create whipped body butter, lip balm, soap, lotion, body balm, deodorant, and other homemade beauty products. It works well as a base ingredient for body butter making kits, lip balm making supplies, and soap making supplies. Made from a single ingredient, Butyrospermum Parkii (shea butter), this product is vegan and suitable for everyday use. Because it is raw and unrefined, natural variations in color, texture, and scent may occur. Also commonly searched as shae butter or shay butter. ## Features - Natural Smoky Aroma – Raw, Unrefined Shea Butter: This shea butter is 100% natural and unrefined, which means it retains the traditional nutty/smoky scent created during the roasting of shea nuts in traditional West African shea butter methods. Because it is completely natural, the aroma can vary from batch to batch and may sometimes be strong. No fragrance or deodorizing processes are used. Customers who prefer an odorless option may prefer refined shea butter. - Shea Butter Face Moisturizer: Pure African shea butter makes a great natural face cream. It is non comedogenic and deeply moisturizes dry skin leaving it feeling soft and nourished. It is safe for all skin types including oily, acne prone and sensitive skin. - Shea Butter Lotion for Extremely Dry Skin: Pure unrefined shea butter works as a rich body butter for women and men alike. Simply melt a pea size amount of shea butter between your hands and massage onto skin until absorbed. NOTE: A little goes a long way and it works great for very dry areas like hands, elbows, knees and heels. - Shea Butter for Hair: Raw African shea butter is a great natural hair moisturizer that can help soften and defrizz curly and thick hair including 4C hair types while adding natural shine. It works great as a LOC (leave in conditioner) or to make your own nourishing shea butter hair mask or cream. - Make Your Own Shea Butter Beauty Products: Use this high quality shea butter to make whipped body butter for dry skin, stretch mark cream, body balm, shea butter deodorant, lip balm, soap and other DIY skincare products. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0155G2OAC | | Best Sellers Rank | #214 in Body Butters | | Date First Available | 12 November 2015 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Manufacturer | Better Shea Butter | | Product Dimensions | 15.24 x 7.62 x 3.81 cm; 226.8 g | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Better Shea Butter - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 15.2 x 7.6 x 3.8 centimeters - **Item volume:** 8 Fluid Ounces - **Special features:** Antibacterial, Aromatherapy, Homeopathic, Non Comedogenic ## Images ![Unrefined African - Ivory, 100% Pure & Raw - Moisturizing and Rich Body for Dry Skin - Suitable for All Skin Types - Use Alone or in DIY Whipped Body s - 8 oz Bar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81t9-gmMdHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I thought IVORY shea was REFINED. How can this be UNREFINED if it's IVORY in color? Pls inform me as I need to be certain. Thank you!** A: there are many sources out there saying WHITE is the real unrefined or that YELLOW is, the truth is that out there, there is both yellow and ivory(white) shea butter that are 100 percent raw/organic/unrefined (REAL) it just matters if it came from the east or west part of africa, i think its from the west it is yellow and from the east it is the whiter color, the reason for this is because of the nut that its came from differs in color depending on what part of africa. With that said you can still have a fake product that isnt 100 percent unrefined or truly real shea butter even if its the color you think it should be. Although I honestly believe this product is legit, and one of the few real ones on amazon. **Q: How does this come packaged? I'm okay with some melting...but don't want it melted out of the package on the front porch.** A: Mine arrived today totally liquified. The inner bag had leaked and a very small amount seeped through the outer packaging. It was nearly a hundred here so if you live in a hot climate, I'd wait to order it until cooler weather arrives. It hardened once I put the unopened bag in the refrigerator and I think it will work fine **Q: I can't find the label that says organic on the product?** A: I only buy organic, with few exceptions, label or not, and I'm buying this product. Labeling is kind of a tricky thing. For instance, in Sweden, where artisan coffee is a huge thing, companies come up with their fair trade labels they mark their products with in addition to adding an organic label on it. But there is nothing that says that the whole production chain is 'fairly traded'. Same thing goes with organic cotton in clothing. It may be the case that the fabric is organic, but the dye used is extremely toxic and not organic at all.In regards to the US, I found this article that seems to point out how products get USDA certified despite having non-organic ingredients. http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/3980. It unfortunately makes shopping for organic healthy products even harder when you can't trust that the labeling is 100% transparent, so as consumers we need to be even more savvy and smart in our decision making. As far as buying organic comes, I look for raw and unrefined products as much as possible, like this product seems to be. In this case I wouldn't be to bother to much about a label. I try to avoid processed anything as much as possible and am fortunate enough to live on the country side where I can trade organic foods with my neighbors. When I lived in NY, I looked for locally grown, unprocessed foods as much as possible and whenever I could go upstate, I would bring food from the local farms back to the city and throw in the freezer.I also do research on how to buy organic without relying too much on a label to guide me as well as finding out exactly what foods and products to avoid WITH labeling and what is OK to consume with a label.Good luck! **Q: Is this grade A?** A: Do you understand what Grade A means, truly? The American Shea Butter Institute is a private institution that offers shea butter testing at $600/batch, and they have created an arbitrary Grades classification that ranges from Grade A which they call "premium" to Grade F, defined as "shea moisturizer". While we do respect their purpose and activities, we have chosen to keep things simple and follow standard FDA and USDA regulations in selling cosmetic ingredients.All our products, including shea butter, are tested by an independent lab (not the Shea Butter institute) on a regular basis and at a fraction of the cost, thus allowing us to offer premium quality butters and oils at a reasonable price. We are proud of our high quality shea butter, you should give it a try and if you are not 100% satisfied you can return the item for a full refund. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 6 June 2024* I really love it makes my hair shine and softI recommend it the best Shia butter ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shea Butter *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 25 June 2021* Thank you for such a great product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 15 January 2023* Very nice and soft .did wanders for my skin ## Frequently Bought Together - Raw Shea Butter - 100% Pure African Unrefined Shea Butter for Hair | Skin Moisturizer for Face and Body | Use for Soap Base, DIY Whipped Lotion, Lip Balm - 8 oz Block - Raw Mango Butter - 100% Natural Skin and Hair Moisturizer - Use with Shea in DIY Whipped Body Butter, Mango Body Lotion, Lip Gloss and Soap Making, 8 oz Block - Handcraft Blends USDA Organic Jojoba Oil - Cold-Pressed 8 Fl Oz - 100% Pure and Natural - Premium Grade Carrier Oil for Skin and Hair - Hair and Body - Massage - Hexane-Free --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/253681367-unrefined-african-ivory-100-pure-and-raw-moisturizing-and-rich](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/253681367-unrefined-african-ivory-100-pure-and-raw-moisturizing-and-rich) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
