Organic Virgin Fair Trade Shea Butter
CTFA Name: Shea Butter
INCI Name: Butryospermum Parkii (Organic Shea Butter)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Ghana

Refined, bleached and deodorized: No

Packaging: Gallons, Drums, Pails, Buckets
Description: Cream to light beige solid when cold, translucent liquid when heated; mild nutty smell, characteristic of virgin shea butter
Applications: Skincare, Soap Manufacturing, Food Preparation

Shea butter, what more can be said about shea? You can use it to cook with, you can use it on your skin, you can use it on your pets, you can put it in your edibles, you can use it in your hair, it makes great soap….so many uses for shea butter. Our organic shea butter is extremely popular. Customers love how clean it is and how well it performs in products. You can use shea butter for soap making, whipped body butters, emulsified butters, emulsified lotions, hair care products including shampoos and conditioners, hand creams, facial cleansing creams and so much more.

Organic virgin shea butter means it is the cleanest press of the shea nut and the product has been certified organic. Virgin shea butters do have that lovely, nutty, shea aroma but even our virgin sheas are not overwhelming in aroma. These butters are so clean you can use them on their own, just whip them up with a little essential oil and you are good to go.

We here at Shay and Company carry three versions of shea butter for you. We have virgin shea butter, refined shea butter, and organic virgin shea butter. All three versions have tremendous health and skincare benefits.

  • Virgin shea butters have a little more of a creamy color (although not the dark, yellow or brown of raw shea butter), and a beautiful nutty smell. We offer both conventional and certified organic virgin shea butters, so if you’re looking to create an organic whipped butter, or an organic soap bar, the virgin organic shea butter is the way to go! I love the smell of our virgin shea butters. Slightly nutty, litte earthy, and lovely when mixed with our organic natural cocoa butter, organic mango butter and a little essential oil blend. Both virgin shea butters have that excellent creamy feel of virgin shea butter.
  • Refined shea butter is a shea that has been refined/bleached/deodorized so that it always has a consistent white color and barely any smell. This one is generally the preferred shea butter for handcrafted soaps when you want to avoid any odor in your ingredients. You will select the Refined Shea Butter when you want to create a superior moisture product but you want to showcase your fragrances or essential oil blends over the natural smell of your raw ingredients.

One of the coolest things I have learned about shea butter over the years is that shea butter in Africa is considered a food item. Food items in Africa are controlled by women only, not men, so all profits made from the harvesting and sale of shea butter go to the women. We are proud to have certified fair trade organic shea butter.

Organic unrefined shea butter is very thick; even when it is heated, it is a heavier weight butter. Organic shea butter products retain their texture and hydrate skin very well, as it is said that shea is about 60% fat. This makes organic unrefined shea butter an excellent ingredient for creating soap bars and body moisturizers.

Organic shea butter does offer a natural UV protection level of about 6. It is not an FDA regulated sunscreen, but it can be incorporated into skin care and face care products that are designed to help naturally protect again sun damage.

Organic shea butter is rich in oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids. This means that it is exceptional at hydrating damaged skin and helping skin to boost its natural collagen production. It also means that it helps to fight that natural imbalance of fatty acids in acne prone skin.

Consider using either refined white or organic natural shea butter in a lotion bar, body lotion, body butter, foot cream, acne face moisturizer, hair balm, hair relaxant, scalp treatment, cuticle butter, lip balm, diaper balm, sun protection cream and so much more.

Please note, when using shea butter if you heat it too hot during the melting phase, when it solidifies it can have a slightly granular texture. This is completely normal, although some people may not like the feel much. Once you apply the product to your skin it will soften, and those granules will disappear. To avoid this issue just ensure that the shea butter is never heated to over 110 degrees.

Organic Virgin Shea Butter is sold wholesale in 1-pound biodegradable bags, 5-pound buckets, and 44-pound boxes. Please email us directly for bulk shea butter orders over 15 44-pound boxes.

Kosher and Fair Trade certifications follow 44-pound boxes only.

Short Term Storage: Air tight container. Dark location. Cool room temperature.

Long Term Storage: Removing air from storage container will delay oxidation and rancidity (may need to place in a smaller container). Refrigeration can extend shelf life.

Best Used By: One year from date of purchase.

Shelf Life Once Used in Manufacturing: One year from manufacturing date.

1 review for Shea Butter Organic Virgin

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Bethanne Kelleher (verified owner) – August 29, 2023

    I Love this Shea Butter so much! I’ve bought this in the 44lb box about three or so times so far to make my natural body butters and it’s my favorite by far. I’ve tried so many other shea butters and they were usually pretty dirty with sediments on the bottom and pieces of shell. This shea butter is impeccably clean, wonderful creamy texture and smells great. Thanks for making such a wonderful product that saves me time because it’s so clean and great quality. Worth every penny.

Shipping Information

We love pallet orders! We can ship full or partial pallets to commercial and residential locations alike. Orders over 500 pounds will generally be less expensive per-pound to ship via pallet, so you will see that option when selecting shipping options. Make sure the shipping address is complete so the rate quote is the most accurate. You are always welcome to call/email us directly to place pallet orders.
