Mary Tylor Naturals Organic Shea Butter 1 lb — Unrefined Ivory from Ghana, USDA Organic, Raw & Creamy

Mary Tylor Naturals Organic Shea Butter is a raw, unrefined ivory shea sourced from Ghana that provides a versatile, natural base for skin, hair and DIY cosmetic projects.

This one-pound jar contains USDA-certified organic shea butter in its unrefined, ivory form. Harvested and processed with minimal refinement to preserve natural nutrients, this shea butter is soft, creamy and ready to use straight from the jar or as an ingredient in homemade balms, creams and soaps. It’s formulated to be an adaptable base for everyday moisturizing needs and creative formulations.

How can I use this shea butter in my daily routine?

Use it as a leave-on moisturizer, hair treatment, or targeted balm for dry patches. A small amount warms and spreads easily, creating a protective, conditioning layer without heavy residue when applied to damp skin or hair.

• Daily body moisturizer after showering — apply to damp skin for better absorption
• Deep hair mask — warm, work through ends, leave 15–60 minutes before washing
• Lip balm and cuticle treatment — dab a pinch for concentrated care

What makes this shea butter suitable for DIY lotions, soaps, and balms?

The product is unrefined and certified organic, giving formulators a neutral, nutrient-rich base that blends well with oils and essential fragrances. Its creamy texture and stable fat profile make it easy to whip, melt, or incorporate into cold-process and hot-process recipes.

• Melts smoothly for soap and balm bases
• Whips into body butters and creams for light, emollient textures
• Combines well with carrier oils and essential oils for custom scents

Is this safe for sensitive skin and varied hair types?

Because it’s unrefined and free of added fragrances or synthetic additives, it’s often a suitable option for people seeking simpler ingredient lists. Patch testing is recommended for those with very sensitive or allergy-prone skin.

• Unrefined, no synthetic fragrances or dyes
• Ideal as a single-ingredient moisturizer or blended with other pure oils
• Patch test on a small area before widespread use

How should I store and handle the shea butter to keep it fresh?

Keep the jar sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain texture and scent. If the butter softens in warm climates, refrigerate briefly or scoop and warm between palms before application.

• Reseal lid after use to prevent contamination
• Store at room temperature out of direct sunlight
• Refrigerate if long-term storage in hot climates is needed

Who is this for: This product is made for DIY formulators, natural skincare enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a single-ingredient, organic emollient to use on body, face, and hair. It suits people wanting an unrefined base for homemade cosmetics, those preferring minimal-ingredient skincare, and creatives who blend their own soaps, lotions, lip care and hair treatments.
