RA COSMETICS 100% Unrefined Yellow Shea Butter 16oz Jar — Cold-Processed Ghanaian Moisture Balm

Harvested and handcrafted in Ghana from the nut of the African shea tree, this yellow, unrefined shea butter delivers concentrated natural fats and fat-soluble nutrients in a pure, chemical-free form. The product is made for people who prefer minimally processed ingredients and want a multiuse balm that can be applied to dry skin, rough elbows, cuticles, scalp, and hair ends. Its dense, creamy texture melts on contact with body heat to leave skin feeling softer without synthetic fragrances or preservatives.

How will this shea butter improve my daily skin routine?

Used sparingly, the butter seals in moisture and smooths dry patches, creating a barrier that helps reduce transepidermal water loss. Because it’s unrefined, it retains the natural cofactors and fatty acids that support skin softness and elasticity. It’s particularly effective for localized dryness like knees, heels, and hands.

• Apply a small amount to damp skin after bathing for longer-lasting hydration.
• Use as an overnight treatment on cracked heels or extremely dry areas.
• Mix with a few drops of your favorite oil to create a customized body balm.

Can I put this on my hair and scalp, and how should I use it?

Yes — this unrefined yellow shea butter can nourish dry scalps, condition hair ends, and add manageability to coarse textures. A little goes a long way: warm a pea-sized amount between palms and smooth through mid-lengths and ends, or massage lightly into the scalp to help reduce flaking caused by dryness.

• For deep conditioning, melt a tablespoon into warm oil, apply, and cover for 30–60 minutes before shampooing.
• Use sparingly as a daily sealant on ends to minimize split ends and frizz.
• Apply to the scalp with fingertips for spot hydration and comfort.

What makes RA COSMETICS’ yellow shea butter different from refined alternatives?

Unlike refined butters, the unrefined yellow variety keeps natural pigments, scent notes, and nutrient profiles intact because it avoids high-heat or chemical processing. That results in a richer lipid profile and a more concentrated natural aroma. The yellow hue often comes from traditional processing methods or the inclusion of certain plant-based colorants used by artisans in Ghana.

• Cold-processed and unrefined—retains more of the natural fatty acids and micronutrients.
• No added preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or emulsifiers.
• Artisanal sourcing from Ghana supports traceability and traditional craftsmanship.

How should I store and use this product safely?

Keep the jar in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight to preserve texture and aroma. Because it is pure and raw, it can soften in warm environments; simply press or whisk lightly to restore consistency. Patch-test first if you have very sensitive skin or nut allergies, and avoid contact with broken skin.

• Store at room temperature away from humid spots like the bathroom window sill.
• Use clean, dry hands or a spoon to remove product to prevent contamination.
• Perform a small patch test on the inner forearm before broad application.

Who is this for: RA COSMETICS 100% Unrefined Yellow Shea Butter is suited to people seeking a single-ingredient, multiuse moisturizer made with traditional Ghanaian methods — ideal for dry skin types, textured or coarse hair, eco-conscious shoppers, and anyone wanting a preservative-free option for targeted skincare and haircare rituals.
