Alaffia Pure Unrefined Shea Butter Unscented 11 oz — Raw, Fair‑Trade Moisturizer for Skin & Hair

Alaffia Pure Unrefined Shea Butter (Unscented, 11 oz) is a single-ingredient, fair‑trade shea butter harvested in West Africa and handcrafted to deeply moisturize skin and hair without fragrances or additives.

This unscented shea butter is made from wild‑harvested shea nuts in Togo using traditional extraction methods and certified fair‑trade practices. Packaged in an 11‑ounce jar, it preserves the natural fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and minerals found in raw shea. Because it’s unrefined and free from fragrances, stabilizers, or synthetic ingredients, it’s a versatile option for dry skin, hair care, and everyday moisturizing where a pure, simple formulation is preferred.

How will this shea butter help my dry skin?

Pure, unrefined shea butter provides long‑lasting hydration by creating a light barrier that helps skin retain moisture while delivering nourishing fatty acids and vitamins. It’s especially useful for rough or flaking areas like elbows, knees, and hands.

• Deep moisturizing without synthetic emulsifiers
• Helps soothe tight, rough skin and reduce flaking
• Leaves a soft, non‑greasy finish when massaged in properly
• Unscented option reduces irritation from fragrances

Can I use this shea butter on hair and scalp?

Yes — raw shea butter can be applied to hair and scalp to add moisture, improve manageability, and help reduce breakage when used appropriately. A little goes a long way: warm a small amount between palms before applying to ends or a dry scalp.

• Seals in moisture on dry ends and reduces frizz
• Soothes dry, itchy scalps when used sparingly
• Enhances shine and improves comb‑through ease
• Can be mixed with oils or hair masks for stronger conditioning

What makes Alaffia’s shea butter different from others?

Alaffia’s product is unrefined and handmade by women‑led cooperatives in West Africa under fair‑trade certification, so the jar preserves native nutrients and supports community development. The company emphasizes ethical sourcing and funds maternal health, education, and environmental projects.

• Wild‑harvested shea nuts from Togo, West Africa
• Handcrafted using traditional methods to retain nutrients
• Certified fair trade and cruelty‑free practices
• Supports women’s co‑ops and local community programs

How should I store and apply this unscented shea butter?

Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep texture stable. For application, warm a small amount between your fingers until creamy, then massage into skin or hair, adjusting quantity to your needs.

• Keep container sealed to avoid contamination
• Warm between palms for easy spreading
• Use overnight on very dry areas for best results
• Combine with oils for a lighter or more spreadable blend

Who is this for? This unscented, single‑ingredient Alaffia shea butter is ideal for people seeking a simple, effective moisturizer without added fragrances or chemicals, those with dry or sensitive skin, and anyone who prefers ethically sourced, community‑supporting skincare. It’s suitable for daily body and hair care, spot treatments for rough patches, or as a base ingredient for homemade balms and DIY skincare formulations.
