Unrefined Shea Butte 50 g

What Makes Unrefined Shea Butter a Versatile Ingredient Beyond Skincare

Unrefined Shea Butter in the compact 50 g size belongs to the Butters category, which brings together dense plant fats that hold their solid shape at room temperature and require melting before use. The unrefined form is particularly valued for retaining the natural compounds found in the nut of the shea tree, including fatty acids responsible for the nourishing and softening properties of the product. This small size is well suited for home formulation, trial batches and testing new recipes before scaling up to larger production volumes.

The primary global demand for shea butter comes from the personal care industry: hand and body creams, lip balms, products for restoring dry and damaged skin, as well as hair and scalp care formulations. Thanks to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, the butter effectively softens skin, helps retain moisture and is frequently used in formulations for sensitive skin and baby care products. Another notable field of use is the pharmaceutical sector, where shea butter serves as a base for ointments and protective balms due to its pronounced emollient qualities.

A less obvious but significant application of shea butter lies in the food industry. In chocolate manufacturing it is used as a cocoa butter equivalent, particularly in regions with limited access to traditional cocoa supply, as well as in confectionery products requiring a solid plant fat with a pleasant melting texture. For this reason shea butter is often stored and incorporated into formulations following the same principles as Cocoa Butter RBD 100 g, with which it is frequently combined to achieve a more stable texture in the finished product.

In cosmetic formulations, shea butter is typically added during the oil phase, after melting on a water bath at approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius, alongside other solid and liquid oils. The recommended dosage in creams and balms ranges from 10 to 30 percent of the total oil phase weight, depending on the desired firmness of the finished product. Shea butter pairs well with Palm Oil 100 g, which adds hardness and stability to a formulation, and with lighter oils used for hair care, such as Coconut Hair Oil 100 ml, allowing formulators to create balanced products for dry and damaged hair.

Store shea butter in a tightly sealed container, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to preserve its structure and beneficial properties throughout the shelf life. When working with small packaging, it is best to avoid opening the jar frequently and to keep moisture out.

Nourishing Body Butter with Shea and Cocoa

Unrefined shea butter 20 g

Cocoa butter 10 g

Sweet almond oil 15 g

Jojoba oil 5 g

Vitamin E oil 3-5 drops

Melt the shea butter and cocoa butter together on a water bath at around 65 degrees Celsius, stirring until fully combined. Remove from heat and add the almond oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E, mixing thoroughly. Pour the mixture into small jars or tins and allow it to solidify at room temperature for a few hours before use as a rich body butter for dry skin areas.
