💬 Frequently Asked Questions About Our 100% Raw Shea Butter
1. Will shea butter clog pores or cause breakouts?
No, our 100% raw, unrefined shea butter is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. In fact, shea butter is a favorite among those with acne-prone or sensitive skin because it’s rich in anti-inflammatory and healing fatty acids. Unlike heavily processed moisturizers or synthetic creams, our shea butter is free from additives and pore-blocking fillers, making it safe to use on your face, chest, and even as an overnight mask for dry or irritated skin.
2. Is shea butter good for eczema, scars, and stretch marks?
Yes! Our handcrafted shea butter is especially effective for eczema, scars, and stretch marks thanks to its high concentration of vitamins A, E, and essential fatty acids. These natural compounds deeply moisturize, calm irritation, and help the skin regenerate over time. Many customers report visible improvement in dry patches, discoloration, and itchiness with daily use. It’s a gentle, natural remedy you can trust—especially for dry, flaky, or compromised skin.
3. Can you use shea butter on your face, hair, and lips?
Absolutely. Our shea butter is multi-use and safe for head-to-toe application:
- Face – Hydrates and softens without irritation.
- Hair & Scalp – Seals in moisture, supports hair growth, and soothes dry scalp.
- Lips – Acts as a natural balm for dry or cracked lips.
It’s even safe for baby skin, beards, cuticles, and elbows, making it a true all-purpose balm.
4. Does shea butter help with hair growth or protect tattoos?
Yes and yes! Raw shea butter is full of nourishing nutrients that help strengthen hair follicles, reduce breakage, and improve scalp health—key for natural hair growth. It’s perfect for curls, coils, locs, and protective styles.
For tattoos, our shea butter soothes new ink, reduces peeling, and keeps older tattoos looking moisturized and vibrant.
5. How is your shea butter made—and what makes it better?
Our shea butter is wildcrafted in the Central African Republic by a fair trade women’s cooperative using a traditional, multi-day process. We use the rare Bassangoa variety—unique to West Africa—and our butter is:
- Cold-pressed and hand-whipped over 2–3 days
- Unrefined and chemical-free
- Made in small batches that support sustainable farming and fair wages
The result is a silky, nutrient-rich butter that melts on contact and delivers long-lasting results.
6. What’s the difference between white vs. yellow shea butter, and refined vs. unrefined?
Color: White or ivory shea butter is its natural tone—ours is never dyed. Yellow shea butter may be color-enhanced or mixed with palm oil.
Unrefined vs. Refined: We only offer raw, unrefined shea butter, which retains all of its vitamins and healing properties. Refined butters may look smoother but lose most of their skin benefits due to over-processing.
