era of nature Unrefined Raw Ivory White Shea Butter 16 oz — Organic Cold-Processed Moisturizer & DIY Base

era of nature Organic Unrefined Raw African Ivory White Shea Butter is a single-ingredient, cold-processed shea butter crafted for moisturizing skin, conditioning hair, and serving as a reliable base for DIY lotions, balms, soaps, and creams.

This 16 oz pouch of ivory white, unrefined shea butter offers a rich, creamy texture straight from ethically-sourced Ghanaian cooperatives. It arrives in a foil-lined kraft bag to keep the butter fresh and aromatic without additives or synthetic preservatives. Because it is raw and minimally processed, it retains a natural scent and a dense, buttery consistency that melts on skin contact and blends easily into homemade formulas.

What makes this shea butter different from refined or whipped varieties?

Unlike refined or heavily processed shea butters, this unrefined ivory white product preserves the natural components that give shea its distinctive texture and aroma. The lack of chemical bleaching or deodorizing keeps the butter closer to its traditional form, which many formulators and skincare enthusiasts prefer.

• Cold-processed and unrefined — no chemical bleaching.
• Ivoire white color with a mild, authentic scent.
• Dense, buttery consistency ideal for melting into recipes.
• Packaged in foil-lined kraft for freshness and light protection.

How can I use this shea butter in DIY beauty projects?

This raw shea butter makes a versatile base for many homemade products. It melts smoothly for lotions, soaps, lip balms, and body butters, and can be combined with carrier oils, essential oils, or waxes to customize texture and scent.

• As a lip balm base: blend with beeswax and flavor oils for a stable balm.
• In lotion bars: mix with coconut oil and a hardening wax for a solid bar.
• Soap making: incorporate into melt-and-pour or cold-process recipes for a creamy finish.
• Hair treatments: warm and massage into ends or use as an overnight hair mask.

How should I store and apply the raw shea butter for best results?

Keep the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve texture and scent. To apply, warm a small amount between palms until it softens, then smooth onto skin or hair where needed — a little goes a long way thanks to its concentrated nature.

• Store in a sealed, cool location — avoid heat and prolonged sun exposure.
• Scoop a pea-sized amount and warm in hands before applying.
• Use in small quantities when blending into DIY formulas to control texture.
• Reseal the kraft foil bag tightly to maintain freshness.

Who this is for: This 16 oz unrefined shea butter suits handmade skincare makers, small-batch bath and body entrepreneurs, and consumers who prefer minimally processed ingredients. It's a practical choice for anyone building natural lotions, creams, balms, or soaps, and for people seeking a concentrated, single-ingredient moisturizer sourced from Ghanaian cooperatives.
