Botanical Name: Vitellaria paradoxa
Ingredients: 100% unrefined, natural shea butter
Non-GMO, cultivated without the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, fungicides, or pesticides.
Country of Origin: Burkina Faso / Nigeria
Production: Unrefined shea butter is solely handcrafted - extracted and prepared without the use of any chemicals or preservatives - the same way African people have done it for centuries. The differences between unrefined and refined shea butter are the scent, color and benefits. Unrefined shea butter maintains its nutty scent, beige color and its many healing properties. Refined shea butter has been chemically altered to remove the natural scent, is bleached to a white color and retains only a very small portion of its natural healing properties.
Qualities: Unrefined shea butter is an ivory colored, natural fat from the seed of the African shea tree. It has a distinct, nutty, smoky odor which differentiates it from the refined shea butter products often found on the market, which have little or no scent. It is also referred to by its French name as Karite tree, which originally (ghariti) means the tree of life due to its exceptional healing properties.

When adding shea butter to creams and lotions it might be necessary to gently warm it until melted or very soft in texture before incorporating it into the final product. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle in your melted butter until fully incorporated and consistently smooth. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is one tablespoon per pound (15 ml/500 g).
Storage: Store in cool temperatures (below 25 °C) away from light and moisture in an air-tight container. The product will become liquid above ambient temperatures (e.g. 36 °C) but will re-solidify upon cooling without affecting functionality. This butter has a shelf-life of at least one year when stored properly.

CanadaFeels like 2nd skin!!!
I suffer from Lichen Planus, which causes dry, extremely itchy skin. It has also caused me to have severe hyperpigmentation. I am Caucasian, but I have ashy dry skin due to my autoimmune disorder. I saw a dark skinned lady recommended using this product for hyperpigmentation and dry skin. I snapped it up Right away. It is helping heal my skin because its so soothing, and it's giving my skin a break from the constant scratching. I've used so many lotions and skin creams without long term relief. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!! If you want soft supple skin that feels super hydrated, GET IT!

Dawn M. CanadaGood moisturizer
I use this as a moisturizer after showing. You need to warm it up a bit to use it.

Sandra T. CanadaQuality Shea Butter at a decent price
I love unrefined shea butter and use it on my body and face. I used to use it in shampoo bars I made. I ordered from you because you have a good price for quality shea butter.

Randi J. CanadaShea -majic ingredient in my topical pain cream.
My recipe has very basic ingredients but the addition of about a tbsp of Shea to 2 cups of the base cream makes it smooth and absorbing. I’ve tried Shea from other ‘retail’ brands and they just don’t have the magic touch that the product from OM has.

Fée L. Canadalovely shea butter
I use the shea butter to make my own body products and just straight on my skin now while I'm pregnant to help reduce stretch marks. I used it while pregnant with my three older children and it seemed to work. This is a lovely shea butter with a great price point.
