Our Shea Butter will be a complete hit in your skincare regime as soon as you receive it, you will fall in love.
You can also use it in your own blends of hair care and bodycare products by applying slight heat to allow it to go to a solid and then stirring in to for example a lotion and allowing to cool.
Use our Shea Butter as a massage oil, the skin will be sensational after a massage and the masseur will enjoy the experience just as much as the person being massage.

When adding butters to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to gently warm them until the texture can be incorporated into the final product. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle your melted butter to fully incorporate. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon per pound. As with most raw materials, results may vary, so we strongly recommend small, lab scale batches prior to any commercial manufacturing.
