Unrefined & Organic Shea Butter is a luxurious, nutrient-rich plant butter extracted from the nuts of the Butyrospermum parkii tree. Because it is unrefined, it retains its natural ivory colour, characteristic nutty scent, and full profile of vitamins, phytonutrients, and essential fatty acids. This traditional form of shea butter melts beautifully into the skin, delivering deep hydration, soothing comfort, and long-lasting protection — ideal for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin in need of intense nourishment.
