Jersey Botanical African Shea Butter — 100% Unrefined Ivory Raw Cream (8 oz) for Dry Skin & Hair

Jersey Botanical African Shea Butter is a 100% unrefined, hand-processed shea butter from Ghana that delivers a soft, creamy base for moisturizing skin, hair, and DIY beauty blends.

This unrefined African shea butter arrives in its natural state with a nutty, slightly smoky aroma and a golden-ivory hue. Extracted and hand-processed by village cooperatives in West Africa, the butter preserves the fatty acids and vitamins typical of raw shea. It’s packaged in a resealable container and intended as a versatile cosmetic ingredient — ideal for those who prefer single-ingredient, minimally processed products for daily care or formulation.

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

Because this Jersey Botanical shea butter is unrefined and hand-processed, it retains more of its original color, aroma, and naturally occurring residues. It is not deodorized or bleached, so you’ll see variations in color and sometimes tiny plant fibers or sediment in the jar. Those characteristics are normal and signal minimal processing.

• 100% unrefined — no bleaching or chemical deodorization.
• Hand-processed by West African cooperatives using traditional methods.
• Natural aroma and color may vary by batch and season.
• May include small, benign sediment or plant fibers.

How can I use this raw shea butter in my skincare and hair routine?

This shea butter is a multipurpose base you can apply directly or blend into homemade creams, balms, and hair masks. A small amount warms between your palms and spreads easily on dry patches, split ends, rough cuticles, or dry elbows. It also mixes well with oils, essential oils, and other butters for custom formulations.

• Apply sparingly as an overnight spot treatment for extra-dry areas.
• Mix with carrier oils or essential oils to create body butters and salves.
• Use a dime-sized amount on hair ends or scalp as a conditioning boost.
• Combine into DIY face balms with lightweight oils for balanced texture.

Is this shea butter safe to use on sensitive skin and for all ages?

Jersey Botanical supplies raw shea butter intended for external cosmetic use; many people with sensitive skin use unrefined shea because it’s minimally processed. Since the product is a single natural ingredient, it’s often compatible with simple routines. Perform a small patch test when using any new topical product, especially on children or very reactive skin.

• Single-ingredient formulation reduces exposure to additives.
• Patch test recommended to check individual sensitivity.
• Suitable as a base for homemade baby, face, or body formulations.
• Not intended for ingestion — cosmetic use only.

How is this product sourced and packaged?

The shea butter is imported directly from Ghana and handcrafted by village women using traditional extraction techniques. This supports local livelihoods while preserving the butter’s natural characteristics. The product arrives in a resealable plastic container for easy storage, and users may notice variations in color or small natural residues from the processing.

• Directly imported from shea-producing regions in Ghana, West Africa.
• Hand-processed by skilled local cooperatives.
• Comes in a resealable container to protect freshness and ease use.
• Batch-to-batch color and aroma variation is normal.

Who this is for: Jersey Botanical Raw African Shea Butter is for people who prefer minimally processed, single-ingredient cosmetic ingredients — crafters making body butters and balms, anyone seeking a simple staple for dry skin or hair, and shoppers who want to support artisanal sourcing from West Africa.
