Product Features:
- Our unrefined, hand crafted Shea Butter is imported from a village in Northern, Ghana
- Gourmet gift of Shea Butter is extracted from the nut of the African Shea tree
- Gift idea is white to ivory in color, and its natural, unrefined nature gives it a slightly nutty smell
- Shea Butter has a play dough texture but instantly melts and spreads as a lotion when applied to the skin
- It contains rich fatty acids and all the essential vitamins to soothe, moisturize and rejuvenate the skin to its natural luster
- Apply generously to entire body as a daily moisturizer or for temporary relief of minor skin irritation, dark spots, bruises, minor burns, diaper rash, swelling, muscle stiffness or pain
The Shea nut is harvested from the Shea tree and placed in large wooden mortars. Using manual labor, the nuts are pounded in the mortars to a granular form. The mortars are then emptied into large vats and boiled to separate the fat. The fat is then collected and cooled to form the Shea Butter. The nutty smell of the Shea nut is what comes through the natural, unrefined Shea butter. Selling Shea butter is the villages' only source of income for survival and education of the children.

Customer Reviews
I must admit I had some reservations about ordering this product. Not anymore!! I use this at night on my hands and face. I wake up with smooth, soft, plump hands and face. Better than ANY face or hand cream I have ever used. It has never stained my sheets or nightclothes. There is a sllight smell to the product, that fades quckly. I like that it is 100% pure: no fillers, no chemicals, will last a long time, and the purchase will help poor people in Africa. A WIN-WIN situation. Get off the fence and try it!
Alaska winters are long, cold and dry. No lotion I have ever tried is as good as this unrefined shea butter to keep my skin looking and feeling great all the time. I have shared it with all of my friends and they are converted like me.
Very good for dry skin this winter, non greasy, melted it myself and use it after shower, slight nutty smell that disipates during the day, absorbs quite well and it is comfortable enough to dress right after applying, I highly recommend it being in the Northeast.
This butter is amazing. It isn't the best smelling product, but it gets the job done. I purchased it because I have very dry skin, and I tend to break out. I first use the "dead sea bar of soap" I think it comes in a pack of 10 or so, then I apply the butter before I go to bed and OMG when I wake up the next day my skin is beautiful! I give it 5 stars for quality and quantity!
I have used shea butter for more then 5 years, I was very happy to see it on Overstock. Normally I had to go the the local flea market or shop for it while on vacation (New York) People don't know about shea butter, all the products you see in the store that say shea butter is not the real deal. This is the real deal raw and 100%... NOTHING ADDED.......... When you put it in your hand it will get soft and is very easy to use. After using it for a month you will notice how soft your skin is. I use it all over my body face included. I love my skin and people always comment how great it looks.
