This product is a 5-pound container of pure African white ivory shea butter, sourced from Ghana and offered by GREENandORGANIC. It is classified as 100% natural, virgin, raw, organic grade A, unrefined, and non-GMO. The shea butter is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) using traditional methods without chemical processing, preserving its natural vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants. The unrefined nature means it retains a creamy texture and a mild, nutty aroma characteristic of raw shea butter.

The primary ingredients consist of pure shea butter with no additives, fillers, or synthetic fragrances. This makes it suitable for a wide range of skin and hair care applications. The high concentration of vitamins A and E, along with essential fatty acids like stearic and oleic acid, contributes to its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It is commonly used to hydrate dry skin, improve skin elasticity, and support scalp health. For hair, it can help condition and reduce frizz, while for the face and body, it serves as a gentle emollient.

This shea butter is particularly well-suited for individuals with dry, sensitive, or normal skin types who prefer natural, plant-based beauty products. Its unrefined and organic grade ensures minimal risk of irritation from synthetic chemicals, making it a practical choice for those seeking a straightforward, multi-purpose moisturizer. The 5-pound size offers a substantial quantity for regular use, such as full-body application or as an ingredient in homemade lotions, balms, or hair masks.

The core advantages of this product include its high purity, lack of genetically modified organisms, and adherence to organic standards. The raw and virgin processing helps preserve the butter’s natural properties, while the large volume provides good value for consistent use. It can be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its consistency and shelf life.
