Organic Virgin Shea Butter – Certified Organic & Fairly Traded
Our Organic Virgin Shea Butter is a certified organic, unrefined shea butter sourced from Africa and produced using traditional methods. It is left completely unrefined to maintain its natural color, texture, and mild nutty aroma. This shea butter is fairly traded, non GMO, and suitable for cosmetic and personal care formulations where organic certification and ethical sourcing matter.
Because it is virgin and unrefined, natural variations in color, scent, and texture are expected from batch to batch. These variations are normal and reflect the raw, minimally processed nature of the butter.
