This Shea Butter is not like the typical Shea Butter you buy in those plastic containers on the street. I have whipped the Raw Shea butter which produces a smooth creamy texture that allows for easy access.

What is Shea Butter?
Most Shea Butter comes from West Africa. It is extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree which begins to bear fruit after about 15 years and can take up to 30 years to bear a quality crop of nuts with a high content of irremovable fatty acid. It is this irremovable fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties and makes it far superior to cocoa butter and other vegetable butters. Traditionally, Shea Butter was extracted by people who picked the nuts, cracked them, grilled them, and pounded them. They were boiled in water for hours until the Shea Butter rose to the surface. It was then scooped into gourds and left to cool and set. Shea Butter is solid at room temperature although it quickly liquefies right around body temperature. This Shea Butter is called unrefined Shea Butter or raw Shea Butter. Since Shea Butter is an all-natural product, it can vary widely in quality, appearance, and smell depending on where it is produced from and how it is refined or extracted.
