MGL Naturals Raw African Shea Butter 5 lb Ivory — 100% Pure Unrefined, Creamy Moisturizer & DIY Base

MGL Naturals Raw African Shea Butter Ivory (5 lb) is 100% pure, unrefined shea butter from Ghana formulated to deeply hydrate skin and condition hair for daily use or DIY beauty projects.

This large, all-natural tub contains unrefined ivory shea butter sourced from cooperative women in Ghana. Crafted without additives, preservatives, or fragrances, the dense, creamy butter melts on contact with skin and can be used alone as an intensive moisturizer or blended into custom lotions, balms, soaps and hair treatments. Its neutral scent and stable texture make it a versatile base for home formulators and everyday body care routines.

How should I use this shea butter on my skin and lips?

Warm a small amount between your palms until it softens, then smooth a thin layer over dry areas or lips. Use daily after bathing to lock in moisture, and reapply to hands and feet as needed for extra hydration.

• Apply sparingly to face and body; a little spreads far.
• Use post-shower to seal in damp skin.
• Massage into cuticles, elbows, knees, and heels for targeted care.
• Protect lips by applying a thin balm layer before sleep or outdoor exposure.

Can I use this shea butter on my hair and scalp?

Yes—it works as a deep conditioner and styling aid for dry, frizzy, or brittle hair. Rub into palms, work through mid-lengths to ends, or use as an overnight scalp treatment to help smooth and detangle strands.

• Apply a small amount to ends to reduce frizz and add shine.
• Mix with oils (coconut, jojoba) for a hot oil treatment.
• Use as a pre-shampoo mask for 20–60 minutes, then wash out.
• Gently massage into dry scalp for short-term conditioning support.

What makes this shea butter suitable for DIY beauty recipes?

The product is unrefined and unscented, giving formulators a pure, stable base that blends well with essential oils, butters, and waxes. Its consistency holds emulsions and whipped textures, making it ideal for homemade body butters, balms, soaps, and salves.

• Neutral ivory color and light, natural aroma for customizable scents.
• High-fat content supports creamy, stable formulations.
• Large 5 lb size is economical for frequent crafting or small-batch production.
• Sustainably sourced from Ghanaian cooperatives—good for ethical brands.

How should I store and handle this raw shea butter?

Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve texture and shelf life. Because it is unrefined and additive-free, avoid contamination with wet hands or water to maintain purity.

• Store at room temperature; refrigeration is unnecessary.
• Use a clean, dry scoop or spatula to remove product.
• Mix in essential oils or actives at cool-down temperatures in recipes.
• Expect natural variations in color and texture between batches.
