Mafura Butter - Virgin (Trichilia Oil)

Virgin Mafura Butter

Virgin Mafura Butter is a rich, deeply nourishing botanical butter cold-pressed from the seeds of the mafura tree (Trichilia emetica), native to southern and eastern Africa. Traditionally prized for its exceptional moisturizing properties, this luxurious butter is packed with essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants that help replenish dry skin, soften rough areas, and restore a healthy-looking glow. Its creamy texture makes it an excellent addition to body butters, balms, hair treatments, and intensive skincare formulations.

Please Note

This ingredient is intended for cosmetic formulation and external use only. Because Virgin Mafura Butter is minimally processed, slight variations in color, aroma, and texture may occur from batch to batch. These natural variations are normal and reflect the authentic botanical origin of the product.

Shelf life 2-3 years

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.
