RA COSMETICS Raw African Shea Butter 8 oz – Unrefined Ivory, 100% Pure Moisturizer

RA COSMETICS Raw African Shea Butter is a single-ingredient, unrefined ivory shea butter from Ghana that moisturizes skin, conditions hair, and supports traditional, ethical sourcing.

Harvested and prepared using traditional methods in Ghana, this 8 oz jar contains pure, unprocessed shea butter that preserves its natural texture, aroma, and fatty-acid profile. Free from additives, preservatives, sulfates, and parabens, it’s crafted to offer a straightforward, versatile balm for daily skin and hair care while supporting the communities that produce it.

What makes this shea butter truly unrefined and different?

RA COSMETICS keeps the butter close to its original state: firm at room temperature, with a creamy ivory color and a subtle, earthy scent. Minimal handling preserves the naturally occurring vitamins and fatty acids so you get the raw feel and performance that processed butters often lack.

• 100% single-ingredient shea butter from Ghana
• No chemical refining, bleaching, or deodorizing
• Firm texture that softens with body heat for easy application
• Natural ivory color and faint earthy aroma indicate authenticity

How should I use this raw shea butter on skin and body?

Use a small amount warmed between palms and massage into dry areas—hands, elbows, knees, or any patchy skin. Because it’s concentrated, a little goes a long way; apply as needed for added barrier and softening without layered synthetic ingredients.

• Warm a pea-sized amount in your palms before applying
• Use after bathing to lock in moisture on damp skin
• Apply to rough areas (heels, cuticles, elbows) for targeted hydration
• Mix with body oil or a few drops of essential oil for a scented balm

Can this shea butter be used for hair and scalp care?

Yes—this unrefined shea butter doubles as a hair conditioner and scalp balm for dry, brittle strands or flaky scalps. Use sparingly as a leave-in sealant, deep-conditioning treatment, or to tame flyaways and add sheen, especially on thicker or coarser hair types.

• Rub a small amount between palms and smooth through ends for shine
• Apply as an overnight scalp treatment to help reduce dryness
• Blend with carrier oils for a DIY deep-conditioner mask
• Great for natural, textured, or thick hair that benefits from heavier emollients

How does ethical sourcing affect the product and community?

RA COSMETICS sources this shea butter directly from Ghanaian harvesters using traditional collection and processing practices. That approach helps preserve local techniques, supports livelihoods, and retains the authentic qualities of raw shea butter rather than diluting them through industrial processing.

• Locally harvested and traditionally processed in Ghana
• Supports community economies and time-honored methods
• Each batch may vary slightly in color and texture—sign of natural sourcing
• Free of additives so consumers get the original ingredient profile

Who is this for? RA COSMETICS African Shea Butter is ideal for anyone seeking a simple, single-ingredient moisturizer: people with chronically dry skin who prefer natural remedies, haircare users who need a rich sealant or deep conditioner, and shoppers who prioritize ethically sourced, unrefined ingredients. If you want a multipurpose, concentrated balm you can customize and trust, this raw shea butter is formulated for everyday use and long-term care routines.
