Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 16 oz — 100% Unrefined Yellow, Deep Moisture & Hair Repair

This jar contains genuine African shea butter, hand-harvested and minimally processed to preserve natural fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E and F. The buttery texture melts on contact and absorbs to leave skin and hair feeling nourished without heavy residue. Because it’s unrefined and yellow, it keeps the characteristic scent, nutrient profile and emollient properties that many formulators and daily users prefer.

How does this shea butter improve dry skin and rough patches?

Unrefined shea butter delivers concentrated fatty acids and vitamins that help soften and hydrate dry, cracked or rough skin. Its occlusive quality locks in moisture while providing a protective barrier against wind and cold.

• Rich in essential fatty acids to restore softness and elasticity.
• Creates a breathable barrier to reduce moisture loss.
• Helpful for hands, feet, elbows and other dry areas.
• Absorbs without leaving a greasy film for most skin types.

Can I use it on hair and scalp, and what results should I expect?

Yes — apply sparingly to dry ends or massage a small amount into the scalp to relieve dryness and add shine. The butter helps smooth brittle strands and can protect hair from environmental stressors and heat styling.

• Moisturizes from roots to tips, improving manageability.
• Soothes dry, flaky scalp while nourishing follicles.
• Good for heat- or chemically-treated hair needing restorative care.
• Works as a deep-conditioning pre-shampoo treatment or leave-in sealant.

Is this shea butter suitable for DIY soap, lip balm, and other formulations?

Absolutely — its unrefined composition makes it a versatile base for soaps, balms, salves and body butters. The yellow color and natural scent can influence final product appearance and aroma, useful for rustic or artisan recipes.

• Melts smoothly into oil blends and melt-and-pour soap bases.
• Adds hardness and creamy lather to cold-process soaps.
• Blends well with carrier oils, essential oils, and waxes for balm making.
• Stays stable when used in small-batch cream and lotion formulas.

• Hand-harvested and traditionally processed in Ghana.
• Unrefined and free from synthetic additives.
• Retains the natural aroma and vitamin-rich profile.
• Packaged in a 16 oz jar for home and small-batch use.
