Pure West African shea butter in a 5 lb pail — unrefined, fragrance-free, and ready for skincare, haircare, or DIY formulations.

This 5-pound container of afrimports African Shea Butter is raw, white shea sourced from Ghana and supplied with a batch number for freshness tracking. It arrives unscented and unadulterated so formulators, salons, and home users get the full fatty-acid profile and nutrients of true shea without added fragrances, preservatives, or dyes. The texture melts at skin temperature and blends easily into creams, balms, and hair treatments.

How will this shea butter perform in my daily skin routine?

Because it is 100% natural and non-comedogenic, afrimports shea butter absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling hydrated without a heavy residue. Many customers use it as a nightly moisturizer, an intensive treatment for rough patches, or a lip and cuticle conditioner.

• Deeply hydrates dry areas while being quickly absorbed
• Safe for use on chapped lips, elbows, knees, and hands
• Unscented formula avoids irritation from added fragrances

Can I use this shea butter on hair and scalp?

The unrefined butter is popular for hair masks and scalp treatments because it supplies essential fatty acids and helps smooth dry strands. It can be warmed and mixed with oils or applied as a light sealant to reduce dryness and flaking.

• Warm a small amount and massage into dry scalp for targeted hydration
• Mix with carrier oils (argan, coconut) for an easy hair mask
• Use sparingly as a leave-in to tame frizz and add sheen

Is this product suitable for making DIY skincare or commercial formulas?

Yes — this bulk 5 lb offering is ideal for formulators and makers who need a consistent, raw ingredient. Its lack of additives makes it simple to combine with botanicals, essential oils, or preservatives according to your recipe requirements.

• Large 5 lb pail provides a consistent source for small-batch production
• Unrefined quality lets you control scent and active ingredients
• Batch number included to monitor freshness and traceability

How does afrimports shea butter compare to cocoa butter or refined alternatives?

Afrimports shea butter is naturally softer at room temperature and generally less greasy than cocoa butter, while being non-comedogenic unlike some heavier butters. Because it is unrefined, it retains vitamins and fatty acids that many refined products lose during processing.

• Softer texture that melts into skin at body temperature
• Unrefined composition keeps more natural nutrients intact
• No added colors or fragrances that refined variants may include

Who is this for: afrimports African Shea Butter in a 5 lb size is built for DIY skincare makers, small-batch cosmetics brands, salons, and anyone who needs a reliable supply of unrefined shea. It works well for people with chronically dry skin, those creating natural hair treatments, and formulators who require a pure base ingredient with traceable origin from West Africa.
