Description
Organic Unrefined Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii) is one of the most widely used and valued vegetable butters, recognized for its extraordinary nourishing properties, and considered an indispensable universal remedy for the entire family.
Its exceptional wealth of fatty acids, along with a high concentration of phytosterols, triterpenes, and vitamins, turns unrefined Shea butter into a reference agent for skin care. It is the vegetable butter of choice for the care of extremely dry, atopic skin or skin affected by environmental factors, offering protection, soothing, repairing, and deep emollience.
Characteristics
- eco Culture: Certified organic
- water_do Appearance: Dense granulated butter, yellowish color, characteristic slightly smoky scent
- verified_user Quality: Cosmetic grade, unrefined
Ingredients: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*
*100% of the total ingredients come from organic farming. COSMOS ORGANIC certified by Ecocert Greenlife.
Main Properties
- checkSoothing, comforting: calms irritated skin, redness, minor sunburns, and the discomfort associated with skin prone to flaking or atopic tendencies.
- checkIntensely protective: creates a protective layer on the skin's surface, isolating the epidermis from external aggressions, cold, wind, and temperature variations.
- checkMoisturizing, nourishing: polyphenols, stearic acid, and oleic acid deeply nourish the skin and maintain optimal hydration levels.
- checkHealing, regenerating: facilitates healing and supports the natural regeneration of damaged skin.
- checkElasticizing, anti-stretch marks: maintains the flexibility of skin subjected to stretching (during pregnancy or weight fluctuations), supporting tissue regeneration.
Usage & Synergies
For skin care, Organic Unrefined Shea Butter is used primarily for extremely dry, atopic skin or skin affected by environmental factors. It is suitable for all ages and for direct application without dilution. It has a solid and dense consistency in the container, but melts from the heat of the palms.
For hair care, it contributes to nourishing the hair fiber and enhancing the beauty of the hair, making it suitable as an intensive treatment for very dry hair.
Practical recommendations
- Direct application: Apply directly to slightly damp skin. Melt a small amount in the palms for easier spreading.
- Ingredient in creams: Use as an ingredient for preparing nourishing face, body, and hand creams.
- Care for damaged skin: Apply a thin layer to the affected area several times a day.
- Treatment for extremely dry skin: Apply in the evening to areas with severe dryness (elbows, knees, heels).
- Dry hair treatment mask: Melt and apply to lengths, leave on for 30 minutes, then shampoo.
Synergies in skin and hair care
For atopic skin or skin with eczema, the synergy with Sea Buckthorn Oil and Borage Oil completes skin barrier repair. For irritated skin, the association with Calendula Oil provides a gentle and soothing formula.
As a base for an intensely nourishing body butter, it combines harmoniously with Avocado Oil and Safflower Oil. For a balm destined for scarred skin, the synergy with Centella Asiatica Oil supports deep regeneration.
For an intensive hair treatment, it combines efficiently with Organic Argan Oil and Organic Ricin Oil for a complex nourishing effect.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does it have a specific scent?
The specific, slightly smoky scent is due to the traditional extraction process carried out by women's cooperatives in Africa.
Why does it have graininess and what can I do?
Granulation is a natural physical phenomenon in shea butter, caused by temperature variations during transport or storage. The properties of the butter are not affected at all. To restore its smooth texture, simply melt it completely in a bain-marie, and then place the jar in the freezer for 20-30 minutes; rapid cooling will prevent the granules from reforming.

I really don't mind the natural smell of this butter at all, on the contrary, I love it, and it reminds me of the smell of wood in my grandma's house. Just now I put it in the basket at 1 liter! As for the effect, I have already tested it, it is exactly as described, very good!

Shea-smør er nok den smør, jeg bruger mest af alle. Jeg foretrækker den uraffinerede i mere rå blandinger, hvorimod den raffinerede er bedre, når jeg selv vil bestemme duften i det færdige produkt.
