Plant Guru Raw African Shea Butter 5 lb Bulk Block Ivory — 100% Pure Unrefined Moisturizer & DIY Base

This 5-pound bulk block of unrefined ivory shea butter delivers a raw, nutrient-dense base for daily body care, hair treatments, and homemade cosmetics. Harvested and hand-processed in Ghana, the butter keeps its natural fatty acids and vitamins intact, making it a versatile ingredient for routine moisturizing, scalp rejuvenation, and craft formulations like lip balms and cold-process soap. The large block format is intended for makers, salons, and households that prefer pure, additive-free shea butter in generous quantities.

How will this shea butter improve dry skin care routines?

Unrefined shea butter contains essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins that help restore moisture and support skin elasticity without synthetic additives. It creates a protective barrier that helps retain hydration and soothes rough or cracked skin when applied regularly.

• Use as an overnight treatment for hands, feet, elbows, and knees.
• Apply a small amount to dry patches to soften and smooth texture.
• Mix with carrier oils to tailor absorption and scent.

Can this product help with hair and scalp conditioning?

This raw shea butter absorbs into dry, processed, or brittle hair to add slip and moisture from roots to ends. It can be used as a pre-wash mask, leave-in sealant for natural hair, or blended into deep-conditioning formulas.

• Warm a small portion and massage into the scalp to alleviate dryness.
• Apply a thin layer to ends to reduce breakage and split ends.
• Combine with oils like coconut or jojoba for improved spreadability.

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

Yes — the unrefined ivory block is an ideal base for formulation because it is single-ingredient and free from fragrances, colorants, or processing chemicals. Its stable fat profile makes it reliable in cold-process soap, balms, creams, and salves.

• Grate or melt portions for soap recipes or lotion bars.
• Blend with beeswax and essential oils for custom lip balms.
• Scale easily from small batches to commercial quantities using measured portions of the 5 lb block.

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

Plant Guru sources this shea butter from hand-harvested nuts in a Ghanaian village, preserving traditional extraction methods. The result is an unrefined, ivory-colored butter that retains vitamins A, D, E, and F and its natural fatty acid profile.

• Imported directly from Ghana to maintain traceability.
• Hand-processed to minimize heat and preserve nutrients.
• Sold as a pure 100% shea butter block without fillers or additives.

Who this is for: This 5 lb block is intended for soap makers, salon professionals, craft entrepreneurs, and households that prefer bulk, all-natural ingredients. If you want a single-ingredient, unrefined moisturizer to customize with oils or fragrances, or you need a reliable base for DIY skincare and hair recipes, this Plant Guru shea butter offers a nutrient-rich, economical option. Avoid if you require a whipped or fragranced product out of the box; this item is raw and unscented to allow full creative control.
