Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 5 lb Bulk Block — 100% Pure Unrefined Ivory, Moisturizing for Skin & Hair

Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 5 lbs is a single-ingredient, unrefined ivory block of pure shea butter sourced from Ghana, formulated to moisturize skin, condition hair, and serve as a base for soaps and balms.

Hand-harvested and minimally processed, this 5-pound bulk block delivers a dense, creamy butter rich in natural fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. It arrives as an ivory paste that melts on contact with skin or heat, making it easy to scoop, blend, or melt for homemade skincare, hair treatments, and cosmetic formulations. Because it’s unrefined and free from additives, it retains its natural aroma and nutrient profile.

How does this shea butter help dry or rough skin?

Raw shea butter creates an emollient layer that helps trap moisture and soften the surface of the skin. Its fatty acid profile supports smoothing of dry patches and protects against drying effects from wind and cold when used as part of a daily routine.

• Locks in moisture and reduces roughness on hands, feet, and elbows
• Softens calluses and improves skin feel after regular use
• Suitable as an everyday body butter or targeted treatment for dry areas

Can I use it for hair care and scalp hydration?

Yes — this shea butter can be warmed and applied as a deep-conditioning mask or a light sealant depending on hair type. It absorbs into dry strands and the scalp to replenish oils and help reduce brittleness without heavy synthetic additives.

• Apply warmed to ends for split-end protection and shine
• Massage into scalp to help hydrate dry, flaky skin before rinsing
• Works well on processed, heat-treated, or naturally curly hair textures

Is this product suitable for DIY soap, balm, and lip care recipes?

This unrefined block is an ideal base ingredient for handmade cosmetics because it melts cleanly and blends with oils, waxes, and lye. Its natural consistency and nutrient content make final products creamy, stable, and easy to work with for small-batch makers or home formulators.

• Use as a primary butter in cold-process or melt-and-pour soap recipes
• Combine with beeswax and essential oils to make balms and lip salves
• Great for creating body butters, lotion bars, and hair pomades

Where does this shea butter come from and how is it processed?

Plant Guru sources this butter from small communities in Ghana where shea nuts are traditionally harvested and hand-processed. The butter is minimally refined to preserve its natural ivory color and the suite of fat-soluble vitamins, with no added fragrances or synthetic stabilizers.

• Imported from Ghana and produced via traditional extraction methods
• Unrefined and 100% pure — no fillers, fragrances, or preservatives
• Bulk 5 lb block format for crafters, salons, and home users

Who is this for? Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 5 lbs is intended for craft makers, small-batch cosmetic producers, salons, and households that want a high-volume, single-ingredient butter to moisturize skin, treat dry hair, or create DIY body care products. If you prefer natural, unrefined ingredients and need a generous supply for repeated use or product creation, this bulk block delivers a versatile, shelf-stable base without unnecessary additives.
