Our Earth's Secrets Ivory Raw Unrefined Shea Butter 1 lb — Top-Grade Hand-Cut, Nutrient-Rich for DIY Skincare

Our Earth's Secrets Ivory Raw Unrefined Shea Butter is a top-grade, hand-cut African shea butter sold in a 1-pound block for natural skincare and DIY cosmetic making.

This ivory raw shea butter is hand-processed using traditional African methods to retain its natural nutrients and creamy texture. Packaged without melting and re-pouring, the product preserves more of its native fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, making it a versatile base ingredient for homemade body products or a simple, nourishing skin balm on its own. The color can vary from cream to a soft grayish-yellow and it has a mild nutty scent that blends well into formulations.

What makes this shea butter "top grade"?

Top grade refers to the butter's minimal processing and high-quality sourcing. Our Earth's Secrets product is cut and packed by hand rather than melted and refined, which helps maintain its natural composition and texture.

• Hand-cut blocks preserve native nutrients and structure
• Unrefined — no bleaching or heavy processing
• Originates from African shea producers using traditional methods
• Consistent texture suitable for melting into DIY recipes

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

Ivory raw shea butter is a multipurpose ingredient that can be used directly on skin or incorporated into homemade products. It melts at body temperature for easy application and blends well with carrier oils and essential oils for personalized blends.

• Apply a small amount to dry areas like elbows, knees, and hands
• Whip with oils and fragrances to make body butter or lotion
• Combine with salts or sugars to create exfoliating scrubs
• Formulate balm-style products such as salves, lip balms, and deodorants

How do I store and prepare the butter for projects?

Store the block in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain quality and scent. When preparing it for DIY use, gently warm only as much as needed—avoid overheating to preserve beneficial constituents.

• Keep in airtight container to prevent odors and moisture ingress
• Use a double boiler or warm water bath to soften or melt small portions
• Measure softened butter for consistent recipe results
• Resolidifies into a manageable texture when cooled

What sensory qualities should I expect from the ivory variety?

Ivory raw shea butter typically presents a pale cream to grayish-yellow tone and carries a light nutty aroma. Its scent is subtle and blends well when combined with essential oils or fragrances.

• Color ranges from creamy white to light yellow-gray
• Soft, buttery texture that becomes smooth when warmed
• Mild, natural nutty scent rather than strong perfumes
• Suitable for those preferring minimal fragrance in formulations
