Shea Butter Information
Unrefined Shea Butter is 100% natural and absolutely no chemicals are used in the processing. This shea butter is processed by a fair trade womens co-op in Ghana Africa and is shipped fresh, ready to use. No preservatives or additives of any kind are used in my pure unrefined shea.
The high quality unrefined shea butter is processed using the laborious traditional method. The hand-collected nuts are similar in size to almonds. The nuts are removed from their shell and placed in a large mortar, pounded by hand to shred and then ground with a stone to a fine paste. The paste is initially the color of dark chocolate. It is washed with water for a number of times until the chocolate color turns into the rich creamy color of the final product. At that point it is boiled in a clarifier to reduce the moisture before being packaged for shipping.
I add no fragrance to this Organic Virgin Shea Butter. You will find this butter to be ivory to greenish/grey in color. The aroma is slightly smoky, grassy, nutty.
This is a natural organic product each batch will vary slightly.
Ultra refined Shea Butter begins the same as the unrefined. But more steps are taken. Filters are used to further process the unrefined butter until it is bleached, odorless, white and creamy.
A little shea goes a long way. Simply soften a tiny amount in the palm of your hand and apply. As this is a butter, you will note it is heaver than most lotions. It takes a little while to be absorbed into the skin, but the wait is worth it!
Price is for one 2 fl. oz. tin

Reviews
Product works wonderful, my kids are constantly stealing it from me!
As always, Bonnie's products are amazing. I ordered the little vessel of Amber Resin, not knowing what to expect, and man! I have to say, this is one of the best surprises I've ever bought myself! The best word I can find to describe the scent is "intoxicating" because it made me want to smear it all over myself. I refrained, using only a tiny tiny bit on the insides of my wrists. The fragrance lasts all day, and I just love getting a whiff of it every now and then.
I also still love The Tempest handmade cold process soap, and use it more than any other.
Fantastic!!
Awesome wrap. Worked perfect. The hot fireman that reminded me of my hubby was prominently displayed! LOVE it!!!
Thank you, Bonnie. The lemon verbena body wash and hand and body cream are a real treat! Used twice so far and already I notice my skin feels smoother. The honey almond oatmeal soap is for my mom's birthday coming soon. I appreciate your communication, the fast shipping, samples, coupons, etc.
Fabulous drawing salve! Smells just like what we used to make back in Pennsylvania. Will be a wonderful addition to my first aid kit. Thanks for the samples! Looking forward to trying more of your wonderful healthy products.
