About this product
What Organic Shea Butter is
Shea butter is the fat taken from the nuts of the shea tree, which grows in West Africa. It is ivory to pale yellow, soft enough to scoop, and has a mild nutty smell. It is used as a rich moisturiser on its own, or melted with other oils into body butter and lip balm. It softens and moisturises dry skin, hands, feet, cuticles and rough patches, sinks in without feeling greasy for long, and is a winter favourite for dry, chapped lips. It also soothes skin that feels dry and tight after shaving and helps skin feel supple. Shea is known for natural anti-inflammatory compounds and vitamins A and E, so it may help calm dry skin and is often used to keep ageing skin elastic and soften the look of fine lines. On hair it adds moisture to dry, chemically treated lengths and may help protect it from harsh weather, and on the scalp it may ease dryness, flaking and dandruff; some people use it in the hope of stronger roots and less hair fall.
- How to use
- Scoop a little, warm it between your palms and rub it into dry hands, cuticles, elbows and heels, best at night. Whipped body butter: melt 1 cup of shea butter with half a cup of coconut oil over hot water, mix and let it cool for a few minutes, then stir in half a cup of almond oil (add a few drops of essential oil here if you like). Chill for 10 to 15 minutes until it starts to set, whip with a hand mixer until thick and creamy, then spoon into a closed jar and let it set. Lavender mint lip balm: melt 2 tablespoons of shea butter with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, cool slightly, stir in 6 to 7 drops each of lavender and peppermint oil, pour into small tins and leave to set; apply it once or twice daily. For hair, rub a little into dry ends or work it into the scalp before washing. Patch-test the inner arm first.

FAQs
Does it melt in summer?
It goes soft or liquid in heat. Let it set in a cool room. Fast cooling can make small grains, which melt on the skin.
Why is it gritty?
Shea butter can form small grains after melting and cooling slowly. They melt as soon as they touch warm skin.
Can I use it on the face?
Some people do, but it is heavy. Try a small spot first, especially on oily skin.
What is Organic Shea Butter used for?
As a rich moisturiser for dry hands, feet, cracked heels, cuticles and elbows, as a lip balm in cold weather, and as an after-shave balm. It may help calm dry skin and is often used to keep skin supple as it ages. In hair it adds moisture to dry lengths and may help a dry, flaky scalp. It also goes into homemade body butters and lip balms.
