Better Shea Butter Raw African Shea Butter 1 lb Block — 100% Unrefined, Deeply Moisturizing

Raw 100% unrefined African shea butter in a 1 lb block—just pure, deeply moisturizing shea with nothing added.

This single-ingredient shea butter is harvested and gently filtered to keep its natural texture, scent, and skin-conditioning properties intact. Packed in a one-pound block, it’s built for daily personal use, hair routines, and larger DIY skincare projects. Because it’s unrefined, color and aroma can vary slightly from batch to batch, reflecting authentic West African processing and a minimally handled supply chain.

How will this shea butter fit into my daily skincare routine?

Use a small amount to lock in moisture after bathing or to target rough patches like elbows, knees and heels. Its dense, emollient texture melts on contact with skin, making it easy to spread and blend. For face use, apply sparingly to dry areas or mix into your favorite facial oil to reduce greasiness.

• Apply to damp skin to help seal in hydration.
• Use a pea-sized amount on cheeks or forehead to avoid heavy residue.
• Combine with oils (jojoba, rosehip) for lighter facial blends.

Can I use this shea butter on hair and scalp?

Yes—this raw shea butter works well for thick, curly and textured hair types, including 4C. It can be used as a pre-shampoo mask, a moisturizing sealant in the LOC method, or a smoothing finish to reduce frizz and add shine. Warm a small amount between palms before applying for even distribution.

• Warm and work into hair for deep conditioning masks.
• Seal ends or use sparingly as a leave-in to tame flyaways.
• Apply to dry scalp areas to reduce flaking and dryness.

Is this product suitable for DIY skincare and cosmetics?

The 1 lb block is an ideal base for homemade balms, body butters, lip salves, soaps, and deodorants. Because it contains no additives or fragrance, you control the final scent, color and actives. It blends well with carrier oils, essential oils, and waxes for custom textures and melting points.

• Use as a butter base for whipped creams or solid balms.
• Combine with beeswax for stable salves and deodorants.
• Mix with oils and preservatives for lotions and hand creams.

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

Our shea is ethically sourced from a long-term women’s cooperative in Ghana. The butter is traditionally prepared and then carefully filtered to remove debris while preserving its natural fatty profile and aroma. No refining, bleaching or deodorizing steps are performed, so the product maintains authentic color and subtle earthy smell.

• Sustainably sourced from a Ghanaian women’s cooperative.
• Gently filtered only—no chemical refining or additives.
• Small batch variability reflects natural processing methods.

Who is this for: Better Shea Butter’s raw 1 lb block is made for people who prefer single-ingredient skincare, DIY formulators, and anyone with very dry or textured hair needing a concentrated natural emollient. It’s especially useful for makers who want a dependable, unrefined base to create custom products and for households that use shea butter frequently.
