HERBOGANIC Pure Raw African Shea Butter 5 lb Ivory-White Unrefined | 100% Natural Skin & Hair Base

This unrefined shea butter is sourced from West Africa and delivered in a large 5-pound format for frequent users, formulators, or anyone who prefers a single-value supply. The ivory-white consistency makes it versatile for direct skin and scalp application, as a base for homemade creams, or as an ingredient in soap and body-butter recipes. HERBOGANIC emphasizes a simple, natural product without additives so you can tailor texture and scent to your needs.

What makes this shea butter different from refined versions?

Unrefined or raw shea butter retains its natural composition because it is minimally processed, preserving its original texture and subtle aroma. Unlike refined shea, it has not been chemically deodorized or bleached, which keeps more of the native fat structure intact.

• 100% unrefined—no synthetic additives or bleaching agents
• Ivory-white color for a neutral base in DIY formulations
• Natural buttery texture that melts on skin contact
• Available in bulk for cost-effective routine use

How can I use HERBOGANIC shea butter in my daily routine?

This shea butter can be applied directly to dry areas, blended into creams, or incorporated into hair treatments. A small amount warms between your palms and spreads easily, creating a protective, hydrating layer without heavy residue when used sparingly.

• Apply a pea-sized amount to elbows, knees, and cuticles
• Massage into scalp or ends as an overnight hair treatment
• Whip with oils to create a custom body butter or face balm
• Use as a base fat in cold-process or melt-and-pour soap recipes

Which color should I choose: ivory (white) or yellow shea?

HERBOGANIC offers different raw shea varieties; ivory (white) shea has a neutral appearance and blends neatly into lighter skincare products. Yellow shea retains a slightly deeper, golden tone and may contain more natural botanical pigments or additives from traditional processing.

• Ivory-white for a neutral, cosmetically compatible base
• Yellow for a richer hue and potentially longer-lasting hydration
• Choose ivory for light creams and yellow for more rustic formulations
• Both are suitable for skin, hair, and soap-making applications

How should I store and handle bulk unrefined shea butter?

Store the 5 lb pail in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain texture and fragrance. Scoop with a clean, dry utensil to avoid introducing moisture or contaminants that can affect shelf life.

• Keep container tightly sealed between uses
• Avoid water contact or wet hands when scooping
• Room temperature storage prevents graininess or melting
• Refrigerate briefly to firm up if it becomes too soft in warm climates
