What turns up

No surprises in the pouch.

Unrefined shea shifts a little between harvests. Here's the honest range.

Ingredients
100% unrefined shea butter. No fragrance, no preservatives, no carrier oils.
Colour
Ivory through to pale yellow. Shade varies slightly batch to batch. Normal, not a fault.
Scent
Mild, nutty and earthy. It fades in most finished products and takes fragrance well.
Texture
Firm at room temperature, soft in the hand. If it goes grainy, melt it and cool it quickly.
Storage
Sealed, cool and dark. Good for roughly 12–24 months from dispatch.
Sizes
250g, 500g, 1kg and 2kg, in resealable kraft pouches.

Before you buy

Common questions.

Is this raw or refined?

Raw and unrefined. It isn't bleached, deodorised or blended, which is why it keeps its natural colour and smell.

Does it smell?

Yes, mildly nutty and earthy. Most people stop noticing once it's whipped with oils, and it takes essential oils well.

Can I whip it?

Yes. Melt it gently, add your carrier oils, chill until it starts to set, then whip. Cooling it quickly keeps the texture smooth.

Can I use it in soap?

Yes, in both cold and hot process. Run your recipe through a lye calculator using shea's SAP value.

Can I use it on hair?

Yes, on its own as a sealant, or blended with lighter oils into a softer hair butter.

How fast do you dispatch?

Orders placed before 2pm on a working day go out the same day. Everything else the next working day.

What if something's wrong with my order?

Send us a photo. If it arrived damaged, smells rancid or isn't what we described, we'll post a replacement and you don't need to send anything back. If you've changed your mind and the pouch is still sealed, you can return it within 14 days for a full refund.

Not sure which size to start with?

Take the 250g. It's enough for a couple of batches, so you can see how the shea behaves before committing to a kilo.
