Shea Butter From Ghana Ivory/White Handcrafted

Handcrafted traditionally produced Shea Butter from the hard-working women of Ghana at wholesale prices. This Shea Butter is produced the same way they have been making Shea Butter for centuries. Shea nuts from the Karite tree are carefully selected by hand and then gently roasted to unlock the shea butter from the nut solids. Next, they pulverize the nuts by hand into a nut meal that is then gently heated in water to separate the oils from the nut solids, which sink to the bottom. The liquified shea butter floats to the top, where it is removed, solidified, and packaged for export to the United States. A majority of the proceeds from this shea butter go directly to the families in Africa that work hard to produce high-quality shea butter. Many shea butter are processed at large co-op mills that collect and process the nuts reducing the amount of money the women who gather the shea nuts earn.

What's the difference between Yellow & Ivory Shea Butter?
This shea comes in two varieties, and which one you choose is a matter of preference. There is some confusion about yellow shea butter and its origins and why it's yellow. This type of shea is infused with the root bark of the Borututu tree, which gives it a yellow color. Borututu bark has been used in traditional herbal remedies and is packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients. This provides the yellow shea butter with additional skin benefits and healing properties. Some prefer Ivory Shea when making products where the color of the finished product is a concern.

Note:  Natural butters and oils may melt during shipping or processing when exposed to high temperatures, and upon cooling they can sometimes re-solidify with a grainy texture or develop a thin white layer known as fat bloom (a harmless separation of fats such as stearic acid). This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the quality of your product. To restore a smooth consistency, simply warm the butter until fully liquefied, stir well, and then flash freeze in the original container or smaller jars. This process will return the butter to its creamy texture. Please note that returns are not accepted for graininess or fat blossom; if you have questions, contact us at info@bulknaturalswholesale.com.
