1kg organic shea butter unrefined for DIY
Bald wieder für dich verfügbar
Making your own natural cosmetics with shea butter is very popular. And rightly so, because it has many advantages. Be it body butter, peelings, lip care, ointments, soaps & co. - shea butter is an indispensable ingredient. But shea butter is also very popular when used on its own, if you have super sensitive skin.
SHEA YEAH butter comes from the north of Ghana. The nuts are collected almost at the border to Burkina Faso, then brought to the next bigger town, Tamale, where they are processed into shea butter in the traditional way in the women's cooperative. Find out more about the background here.
Scent: Unrefined shea butter has a slightly smoky, nutty scent that comes from roasting the nuts.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place and protect from heat and direct sunlight. Due to the natural melting point of shea butter, it changes depending on the temperature. However, this has no influence on the quality of the shea butter.

FAQ
Sheabutter ist für alle Hauttypen und Hautzustände geeignet.
In diesem spannenden Blogartikel findest Du alles über die Vor- und Nachteile von unraffinierter resp. raffinierter Sheabutter und erfährst wieso wir uns voll und ganz der unraffinierten Sheabutter widmen.
Es handelt sich bei diesem Produkt um die naturbelassene Version des Rohstoffes Sheabutter. Dieser ist von Natur aus, und je kälter die Temperatur ist, halbhart bis hart. Sobald er mit der Haut in Berührung kommt, mit Ölen gemischt wird oder in die Wärme gestellt wird, schmilzt er.
Wie Du beispielsweise Deine Sheabutter in einem Wasserbad richtig schmilzt, erfährst Du in unserem Blog.
Wie alle naturbelassenen Fette und Öle, bsp. kaltgepresstes Olivenöl, hat auch unraffinierte Sheabutter einen natürlichen Eigenduft. Der ist Zeichen von Qualität!
Dieser kann je nach Jahr und Ernte leicht variieren. Grundsätzlich riecht Shea charakteristisch erdig, nussig, herb und leicht geröstet (Röstung der Nüsse in einem Produktionsschritt). Die schonende Herstellung, welche wir verfolgen, belässt die natürliche Farbe, Duft und somit die wertvollen Inhaltsstoffe. Dies hat viele Vorteile für unsere Haut. In der Formulierung von Naturkosmetik-Rezepten kann man den Duft schön einbinden, je nach Prozentanteil Sheabutter in der Rezeptur auch steuern.
Die Sheabutter kommt aus Ghana, Westafrika. Mehr über die Hintergründe zu unserer Produktion findest Du hier.
