Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 3 lb Ivory – 100% Pure Unrefined Grade A Moisturizer

Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter is a 3-pound, 100% pure unrefined ivory Grade A butter sourced from Ghana, designed to deeply moisturize skin, hair, and support DIY skincare and soap making. Plant Guru's shea butter is a single-ingredient, traditionally harvested butter made from the nut of the African shea tree. Delivered in bulk, this unrefined ivory butter keeps its natural fatty acids and vitamins intact so you get a neutral-scented, versatile base for body care, hair treatments, and homemade cosmetics. The large 3 lb size is tailored for frequent users, small businesses, and crafters who want an authentic natural ingredient with minimal processing.

What makes this shea butter different from refined or blended butters?

This is raw, unrefined shea butter kept in its natural ivory state to preserve nourishing fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. Unlike refined or deodorized versions, it retains its minimal natural scent and full emollient profile, making it a better base for repair-focused skincare and hair formulations.

• 100% single-ingredient, no additives or synthetic fragrances
• Unrefined Grade A processing preserves nutrients and texture
• Sourced and hand-extracted from Ghanaian shea nuts
• Neutral ivory color suitable for blending and custom formulations

How can I use this shea butter in my daily routine?

This butter is multi-purpose: apply a small amount to dry skin areas, massage into the scalp to help with dryness, or melt into DIY balms and soaps. A little goes a long way because it melts on contact with body heat and absorbs to help condition skin and hair without heavy residues.

• Rub a pea-sized amount into dry hands, elbows, knees, or feet
• Warm between fingers and smooth through hair ends or scalp
• Melt gently for soap batches, lip balms, body butters, and salves
• Combine with carrier oils or essential oils for custom blends

Is this product safe for DIY cosmetic projects and small businesses?

Yes — the unrefined, single-ingredient composition makes it an ideal base for homemade skincare and small-batch production. Because it's bulk-packed and minimally processed, it offers predictable behavior in melts, emulsions, and solid formulations used for soaps, balms, and creams.

• Stable at low heats; blends well with oils and waxes
• Provides body and texture to soaps, lip balms, and lotions
• Large 3 lb packaging reduces frequent reorders for makers
• Neutral ivory color integrates easily into colored formulations

How is this shea butter sourced and why does that matter?

Plant Guru imports this shea butter from a village in Ghana where traditional hand-harvesting methods are used. Traceable sourcing supports product integrity and helps ensure the butter retains the natural profile that small-scale producers and formulators expect.

• Harvested from the nut of the African shea tree in Ghana
• Hand-extraction methods preserve natural qualities
• Imported directly to maintain supply transparency
• Bulk format reduces packaging waste for frequent users

Who is this for? This 3-pound jar fits crafters, estheticians, and anyone who prefers a full-strength, unprocessed natural butter for body and hair care. It's suited to people making DIY cosmetics, small brands producing natural products, and households that want a long-lasting, neutral shea base for daily moisturizing and conditioning. If you want a simple, single-ingredient butter with authentic sourcing and minimal processing, this Plant Guru raw African shea butter offers a practical, high-volume option without added fragrances or chemicals.
