What is the benefit of using unrefined vs. refined Shea butter?
Unrefined Shea butter is the very best and most beneficial Shea butter that you can use. This is because the process in which refined Shea butter is created usually utilizes hexane or other petroleum solvents, and it is also bleached and deodorized. Unrefined Shea butter has a pleasantly light nutty scent which can vary with batches, but is natural and safe to use. We don’t feel that using harsh chemicals in Shea butter is necessary, good for our planet, or good for your skin. Your skin is the largest organ on your body, and what you apply to it is readily absorbed into your blood stream. Natural, unrefined Shea butter is completely safe and penetrated deep, promoting cell growth. It is gentle enough to use on newborn babies!
