Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 16 oz (Ivory) — 100% Unrefined Deep Moisturizer & DIY Cosmetic Base

Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter is a 16 oz jar of 100% unrefined ivory shea butter made from Ghanaian shea nuts, formulated to deeply moisturize skin, condition hair, and serve as a natural base for DIY soaps and balms.

This single-ingredient, cold-processed shea butter arrives as a soft, creamy paste that melts on contact with skin. Unrefined and ivory in color, it preserves the natural fatty acids and vitamins typically diminished during heavy processing. Sourced from small communities in Ghana, this batch emphasizes a simple, multipurpose approach: hydration, nourishment, and a durable base for cosmetic projects.

How will this shea butter help dry or weathered skin?

Raw African shea butter provides concentrated lipids and fat-soluble vitamins that replenish and lock in moisture on rough or dehydrated skin. It forms a protective layer against wind and cold while helping the skin feel softer and smoother after repeated use.

• Deep moisturizing with essential fatty acids for dryness relief
• Helps soften calluses and chapped areas like hands and feet
• Protective barrier against harsh weather and friction
• Non-comedogenic for many skin types—it absorbs without heavy residue

Can I use this shea butter on hair and scalp?

Yes. The natural fats and vitamins in unrefined shea butter help hydrate dry or brittle hair and soothe a parched scalp. It can be used as a leave-in treatment, pre-shampoo mask, or lightweight sealing product for ends and textured styles.

• Conditions and adds manageability to processed or heat-stressed hair
• Absorbs into the scalp to reduce flaking without clogging pores
• Helps restore hair sheen and reduce breakage when used regularly
• Works on all hair types, especially coarse or curly textures

Is this product suitable for DIY soap, lip balm, and skincare formulations?

Absolutely. Its unrefined, single-ingredient composition makes it an excellent base for homemade skincare and cosmetic creations. Because it's raw and ivory-colored, it blends well with essential oils, butters, and waxes without overwhelming added scents or colors.

• Stable butter for melt-and-pour or cold-process soap recipes
• Mixes smoothly into lip balms, body butters, and salves
• Natural vitamin content supports nourishing formulations
• 16 oz size is convenient for hobbyists and small-batch makers

Where does this shea butter come from and how is it processed?

Plant Guru sources this shea butter from traditional harvests in Ghana, where nuts are hand-processed using time-honored methods. The unrefined butter is minimally handled to keep natural nutrients intact and to preserve the ivory hue and typical aroma of raw shea.

• Directly imported from small Ghanaian communities
• Cold-processed and unrefined to retain vitamins A, D, E, and F
• Single-ingredient purity—no additives or synthetic preservatives
• Packaged in a 16 oz jar suitable for repeated use

Who is this for? Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter is ideal for anyone seeking a versatile, natural moisturizer: people with dry or weather-exposed skin, those with textured or damaged hair, and crafters who make soaps, balms, and body products at home. If you prefer simple, single-ingredient skincare and value ingredients sourced from small producers, this unrefined shea butter offers a straightforward, multi-use solution without unnecessary processing.
