NOW Foods Shea Butter body emollient 16 oz — 100% Pure, Hexane-Free, Deep Moisture for Dry Skin

NOW Foods Shea Butter is a 100% pure, hexane-free body butter that deeply conditions and helps lock moisture into dry, rough areas like elbows, knees and feet.

Made from the nuts of African karité trees, this unrefined shea butter has a dense, luxurious feel that absorbs into skin to soften and protect. Packaged in a generous 16-ounce jar, the product is formulated without harsh chemicals, is vegan-friendly, and comes from a GMP-certified facility in the USA. It’s versatile enough for daily body care and occasional scalp moisturizing when extra nourishment is needed.

How does this shea butter improve very dry, rough skin?

The concentrated emollient properties of shea butter help fill and smooth rough patches by forming a lightweight barrier that reduces moisture loss. Regular application helps skin feel softer and look more even without leaving a greasy residue when properly massaged in.

• High-fat content conditions and softens thickened skin areas.
• Creates a protective seal to retain hydration after bathing.
• Absorbs into rough spots like heels, elbows and knees.

Can I use this product on my scalp or hair?

Yes — shea butter can be used as an occasional scalp moisturizer or as a smoothing treatment for dry ends. Warm a small amount between your palms before applying to avoid heavy buildup, and rinse or shampoo out if used as a wash-out treatment.

• Apply sparingly to irritated, flaky scalp areas for short-term relief.
• Use as a pre-wash or overnight treatment for extra-dry hair ends.
• Hexane-free and additive-free formulation reduces risk of residue.

What should I expect from the texture and scent?

The butter has a rich, creamy texture that softens with body heat for easy spreading. Because it’s 100% pure shea butter, expect a natural, slightly nutty aroma rather than added fragrances or synthetic scents.

• Thick, buttery consistency that melts on contact.
• Neutral, earthy scent from unrefined shea — no perfumes added.
• Non-irritating for most skin types when used as directed.

How is NOW Foods Shea Butter made and tested?

NOW Foods follows GMP-certified processes and analytical testing to ensure product quality and purity. The shea butter is sourced from karité tree nuts and packaged in the USA by a family-owned company, with a focus on avoiding harsh chemical additives and animal testing.

• Produced under A-rated GMP certification for consistent quality.
• Analytically tested for stability and potency before release.
• Packaged in the USA by a family-owned company since 1968.

Who is this for: NOW Foods Shea Butter is well suited for anyone with dry, rough or weather-exposed skin who prefers a pure, additive-free emollient. It’s a good pick for people wanting a multipurpose balm for body and occasional scalp use — especially those seeking GMP-assured, vegan-friendly options from a trusted, family-operated manufacturer.
