Alaffia Pure Unrefined Shea Butter Unscented 11 oz — Fair-Trade, Deep Moisture for Skin & Hair

Alaffia Pure Unrefined Shea Butter (unscented, 11 oz) is a multi-use, fair-trade shea butter that nourishes dry skin and hair without added fragrance.

Harvested and handcrafted by women-led cooperatives in West Africa, this unscented shea butter keeps its natural fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals because it is unrefined. The 11-ounce jar offers a concentrated, versatile balm suitable for daily skin and hair care routines, from face and hands to strands and scalp. It’s cruelty-free and supports community programs in maternal health, education, and the environment.

How does unscented shea butter help dry skin?

Unrefined shea butter delivers rich emollients that help replenish and lock in moisture. Because it’s unscented, it’s less likely to irritate sensitive skin while preserving the natural nutrients that provide lasting softness and resilience.

• Deeply moisturizing natural fatty acids and vitamins A and E
• Forms a protective barrier to reduce moisture loss
• Unscented formula minimizes potential irritants
• Suitable for face and body when used sparingly

Can I use this shea butter on my hair and scalp?

Yes — smooth a small amount into dry ends or massage lightly into the scalp to help reduce dryness and add sheen. Its concentrated texture means a little goes a long way; warm between palms before applying for easier distribution.

• Seals in moisture to reduce breakage and frizz
• Soothes dry, flaky scalps when gently massaged
• Adds shine without heavy synthetic ingredients
• Works as an overnight treatment or leave-in on ends

What makes this shea butter different from refined or scented options?

Unrefined shea butter is minimally processed, preserving its natural composition of fatty acids and micronutrients. Refined versions may lose these components and often include fragrances or additives; Alaffia’s unscented product keeps the butter close to its traditional form.

• Cold- or low-processed to retain nutrients
• No added perfumes or dyes to mask the product
• Wild-harvested shea from West Africa (Togo)
• Produced by women-led cooperatives under fair-trade principles

How should I store and apply this 11 oz jar for best results?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain texture and extend shelf life. For application, scoop a small amount, warm it between your fingers until pliable, then apply to targeted dry areas of skin or hair.

• Use sparingly — a little melted by body heat spreads easily
• Keep lid tightly closed to avoid contamination
• Can be blended with oils for a lighter consistency
• Also useful for cuticles, elbows, knees, and dry hair ends

Who this is for: This unscented Alaffia shea butter suits anyone seeking a concentrated, natural moisturizer without added fragrance—especially those with dry or sensitive skin, people wanting a hair sealant, and buyers who value fair-trade sourcing and women’s cooperative production. It’s ideal for minimal ingredient routines, multi-use personal care, and shoppers looking to support ethical community programs while getting a traditional African shea butter in a convenient 11-ounce jar.
