Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 32 oz / 2 lb Jar — 100% Pure Unrefined Yellow, Deep Moisture for Skin & Hair

Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter in a 32 oz (2 lb) jar is a 100% pure, unrefined yellow shea butter crafted from Ghanaian shea nuts to deeply moisturize skin, condition hair, and serve as a versatile base for DIY skincare and soap projects.

This large, unrefined jar contains traditional yellow shea butter with no added fillers — just the natural fatty acids and vitamins found in authentic African shea. Its thick, creamy paste melts on contact with skin and hair to hydrate, soothe, and provide an emollient barrier against wind and cold. Sourced from small-scale harvests in Ghana, this butter is ideal when you need a concentrated, economical option for body care, hair treatments, or homemade cosmetics.

How does this shea butter hydrate dry skin effectively?

Unrefined shea butter is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E and F which help restore the skin's moisture balance and improve suppleness. It forms a protective layer that reduces moisture loss without leaving a greasy film when properly warmed and applied.

• High concentration of oleic and stearic acids for long-lasting hydration.
• Vitamins help nurture and support skin barrier function.
• Thick paste melts on contact for deep penetration into dry areas.
• Protects skin from cold, wind and environmental stressors.

Can I use this product on hair and scalp, and how should I apply it?

Yes — the butter provides concentrated moisture and can help soften brittle strands and calm a dry scalp. Use it sparingly as a pre-shampoo treatment, a leave-in sealant on the ends, or a scalp nourishing mask depending on hair texture and needs.

• Apply a small amount to dry ends to reduce split ends and frizz.
• Massage into scalp, leave 20–60 minutes, then shampoo for a deep conditioning treatment.
• Mix with carrier oils for easier spreadability on thick or coarse hair.
• Use as a weekly intensive mask for processed or heat-damaged hair.

Is this shea butter suitable for DIY soap, lip balm, and other homemade products?

Absolutely — its unrefined, pure nature makes it a stable, nourishing base for DIY formulations. It blends well with oils, butters, and essential oils to create custom soaps, balms, and lotions with a rich, creamy texture.

• Use as a primary butter in cold-process or melt-and-pour soap recipes.
• Combine with beeswax and oils for hydrating lip balms and salves.
• Add measured amounts to body butters and whipped creams for a richer feel.
• Unrefined color and scent contribute natural character to homemade products.

How is this shea butter sourced and what makes it 'raw'?

This shea butter is traditionally extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree in Ghana, following artisanal methods that preserve its natural components. 'Raw' and 'unrefined' indicate it has not undergone deodorizing or bleaching, keeping its yellow hue and natural nutrient profile.

• Sourced from small village harvests in Ghana using hand-extraction techniques.
• Unrefined processing retains vitamins and natural aroma.
• Yellow color reflects traditional processing methods and nutrient content.
• Large 32 oz jar designed for frequent use or DIY production.

Who is this product for? If you want a high-volume, pure shea butter for daily moisturizing, hair restoration treatments, or to scale up DIY skincare and soap-making, this 32 oz jar offers concentrated, economical value. It's best for people with dry or weather-exposed skin, those with coarse or treated hair needing intense conditioning, and makers who prefer an unrefined base for small-batch cosmetics. Avoid if you require fragrance-free, refined butters for highly sensitized skin without natural shea aroma.
