Yajna Organic Raw African Shea Butter — 1 lb (450 g) Ivory Grade A, Unrefined Moisturizer

Yajna Organic Raw African Shea Butter is a 100% pure, unrefined ivory-grade moisturizer ideal for face, body, hair, and DIY beauty formulations.

Harvested and minimally processed to preserve its natural profile, this Grade A shea butter delivers a dense, creamy texture rich in fatty acids, natural vitamins and antioxidants. It’s presented in a generous 1 lb (450 g) jar and is formulated for versatile use—apply it directly to dry areas, incorporate it into homemade lotions and balms, or blend it into hair treatments. The ivory/white color and unrefined character indicate minimal refining so the product retains its inherent nutrients and feel.

How do I use Yajna Shea Butter for daily skin hydration?

A little goes a long way: warm a small amount between your palms until it softens, then smooth onto targeted dry areas or all over the body. Use after bathing on slightly damp skin to lock in moisture and maintain softness throughout the day.

• Apply fingertip-size amount to elbows, knees, heels, and hands
• Massage gently until absorbed, adding more if needed for very dry patches
• Use after showering on damp skin to seal hydration
• Combine with a carrier oil for quicker absorption or a lighter finish

Can I use this shea butter on hair and scalp?

Yes—it's suitable for hair and scalp care when used sparingly. Work a small quantity into dry ends or use as a pre-shampoo mask to add slip, tame frizz and protect strands from breakage.

• Warm a teaspoon between palms for smoothing flyaways and split ends
• For deep conditioning, massage into scalp and hair, cover, then rinse after 30–60 minutes
• Mix with coconut or jojoba oil for a lighter, easier-to-distribute treatment
• Use sparingly on fine hair to avoid weighing it down

What makes Grade A ivory/white shea butter different from other types?

Grade A indicates minimal processing and no chemical bleaching or deodorizing, preserving the butter’s natural nutrients and aroma. The ivory-white tone and smooth consistency reflect careful extraction and gentle filtration rather than aggressive refining.

• Unrefined: retains vitamins and natural antioxidants
• Ivory/white color: aesthetic and stable texture for cosmetic uses
• Free from additives, fragrances, or synthetic stabilizers
• Suitable base for DIY creams, balms, lotions, and soaps

How can I include Yajna Shea Butter in my DIY skincare recipes?

The butter’s creamy body and mild scent make it a flexible base for at-home formulations—blend with essential oils, botanical extracts, or other carrier oils to create personalized products. Its stable structure helps thicken creams and gives balms a luxurious texture.

• Melt gently in a double boiler to incorporate other ingredients evenly
• Create solid balms by whipping or cooling with beeswax and oils
• Add dropwise essential oils after cooling for fragrance and benefits
• Use as a primary fat in cold-process or melt-and-pour soap recipes

Who is this for? Yajna Organic Raw African Shea Butter is for anyone seeking a natural, multi-purpose moisturizer and cosmetic base—ideal for people with dry skin zones, DIY formulators, haircare enthusiasts, and professionals crafting small-batch skincare. If you prefer ingredients with minimal processing and want a versatile, shelf-stable fat to build lotions, balms, or hair treatments, this Grade A ivory shea butter offers a practical, high-quality option.
