Freshly Packaged to Order
Refined Shea Butter is a high-purity, odorless, and versatile natural emollient widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Carefully processed to remove impurities, color, and natural scent while preserving its beneficial fatty acid profile, this refined butter delivers exceptional skin-conditioning performance with a smooth, consistent texture ideal for professional cosmetic use.
Derived from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, refined shea butter is rich in essential fatty acids—primarily oleic and stearic acids—which help restore the skin’s natural lipid barrier, improve moisture retention, and enhance overall skin softness. Its refined nature makes it especially suitable for sensitive skin formulations and products where fragrance stability and color neutrality are required. Refined shea butter melts at near body temperature, allowing it to absorb easily without leaving a greasy or heavy residue. It provides excellent emolliency, helping to soften rough, dry, or compromised skin while promoting a smooth, supple appearance. Its non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for facial care, body care, and hair applications alike.
In cosmetic formulations, refined shea butter functions as a powerful moisturizing agent, texture enhancer, and stabilizing fat. It contributes to improved product spreadability, creaminess, and structure, making it an essential ingredient in lotions, creams, body butters, lip balms, soaps, hair conditioners, and scalp treatments. Unlike unrefined shea butter, the refined version will not interfere with added fragrances, essential oils, or colorants.
