I am a Cosmaceutical Technician and I research, develop and manufacture products for medical professionals (Doctors, Nurses, Mid-wives, Lactation Consultants & Podiatrists) and alternative therapist (Medical Herbalists, Naturopaths, Aromatherapists & Massage Therapist).

You are bidding on 500g of refined Shea Butter from Ghana. The colour of this is a off white and has almost no smell.

Shea butter is ideal for using in natural face care and body care products, which is exactly what I use it for.

Shea Butter is said to be helpful with eczema, irritated skin, rashes, scars & wrinkles. This wonderful natural butter melts on contact with the skin and is very moisturising and penetrates the skin quite quickly.

If making your own pure products, this is an excellent base for them, it is also perfect all by itself - just smooth it onto your skin - it melts immediately on contact and absorbs into your skin leaving it soft and moisturized.

Shea butter moisturizes the skin and hair, making them softer and more supple. It is used in a number of hair and skin care products including moisturiser, shampoo, soap, shampoo bars, lip balms and lipsticks. Shea butter protects the skin from free radicals and oxidation and speeds skin regeneration elasticity. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is safe for all types of skin, even very sensitive skin.

Shea Butter is naturally rich in Vitamins A, E, and F, as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A and E help to soothe, hydrate, and balance the skin. They also provide skin collagen which assists with wrinkles and other signs of aging. Vitamin F contains essential fatty acids, and helps protect and revitalize damaged skin and hair.
