This Shea butter extracted from the Shea Nuts and it is unrefined and unprocessed in any way. There may be bits of impurities and some sediments present (tiny bits of the shell, plant fibres, etc) in the butter. Although batches may vary to some extent, this product usually has a strong, pungent, and sometimes smoky aroma which is a characteristic of pure & natural Shea Butter from Ghana. You may also find various natural inconsistencies in color including darker spots and grey streaks. It is solid at room temperature and sometimes it may be hard in consistency.

Customers preferring a mild aroma and a more consistent texture should consider purchasing Shea Organic Butter – Refined (Ghana).

Please note: This is a natural and unprocessed product that is handcrafted without the use of sophisticated machinery and therefore, the possible presence of some impurities cannot be excluded.

Common Uses: Shea Butter aids with the re-hydration of dry, chapped skin. It is solid at room temperature and melts on contact with the skin and may be used in a variety of formulations including lotions, creams, after-sun products, conditioners, body butters, luxury soaps, baby-care products and lip balms.

Recommended Usage:
Lotions & Creams: 5 - 20 %
Balms: 5 – 100 %
Bar Soaps: 5 - 20 %
Hair Conditioners: 2 – 5 %

When adding a butter to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to gently warm it until melted or very soft in texture and can be incorporated into the final product. The melting point can range from 32°C to 35°C. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle in your melted butter until fully incorporated and consistently smooth. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is one tablespoon per pound (15 ml/500 g). As with most raw materials, results may vary, so we strongly recommend small, lab-scale batches prior to any commercial manufacturing.

Shelf Life: Store in cool temperatures (below 25 °C) away from light and moisture in an air-tight container. The product will become liquid above ambient temperatures (e.g., 36 °C), but will re-solidify upon cooling without affecting functionality. This butter has a shelf-life of one year when stored properly.

NOTE: We have a ‘No Return’ policy on any unsealed organic products as per our compliance with the QAI Organic Certification Program.

Excellent quality product! I've been using it in all my makings. Now to order more as this is the best one I've used so far. Even used on it's own for a quick hand moisturizer is great!

Can’t get enough of this sheabutter for my growing business ! I use Shea butter as a staple in a majority of my products and the reviews have been stellar ! Mild nutty smell, very nice quality. Cuts into smaller pieces easily enough too.

Once again I bought this shea butter - I use it in my soaps and body butters. It has a mild nutty scent that I like a lot. It gives soap a wonderful texture and a creamy lather.

This Shea butter is amazing. I tend to use this version more in my soaps, because I don't have to worry about the scent overpowering my product, and it gives it a creamy, luxurious feel to the skin.

While the actually product seems to be good, really disappointed that New Directions is sending out this butter in a zip lock bag - to be honest it is just pitiful. While I ordered mine now, with these cold days shipping was OK, in the summer this is going to get really messy. all the bags did not stay closed. I do not understand why NDA would not be using a wide mouth bucket container. I have never been disappointed by NDA shipping but this is really disconcerting, product needs to be shipped in a proper container.

Product is fine, packaging is horrible! On the last order it came in a bag and was very soft. Not the best quality. Imagine spending 20 minutes squeezing thick Vaseline out of a plastic bag- this was my experience. I'll avoid reordering this from NDA from a while

Usually this product is fantastic BUT the last batch in September 2018 was packaged in ziplock bags, which made it messy, wasteful and incredibly annoying to dispense. This batch also had a particularly strong "blueberry goat poop" smell, but hey- at least I know it's not deodorized. The previous batch was bricked and put in a large plastic container, which I either reuse or recycle. I can't even recycle these bags because I can't get them clean.

This hard butter has a very faint nutty aroma, that is pleasant. I imagine it will be undetectable in my final product at 5-20%. The color is a creamy yellow, and I haven't had issue with shell remnants etc. Very pleased

I absolutely love this butter!!! It is extremely nourishing and melts/combines well with other products. It works great on its own as well. The smell isn't too strong and it's very easy to scoop out of the container. The fact that it is organic is a major plus. Great price - I'll definitely be purchasing again!

I LOVE this Shea Butter!!! It is lovely in all products. Sometimes I strain it because it is "crude" and unfiltered. Beautiful scent & texture...great price!!

Wow ! I llllllove this shea butter. It is not grainy, the smell is soft, easy to work with. I made a 50% shea butter soap with it that is so soft on the skin. I used it on my very dry elbows. It is a pure marvel. Affordable and Worth its price. Thank you to New Direction for this product.
