I thought IVORY shea was REFINED. How can this be UNREFINED if it's IVORY in color? Pls inform me as I need to be certain. Thank you!

there are many sources out there saying WHITE is the real unrefined or that YELLOW is, the truth is that out there, there is both yellow and ivory(white) shea butter that are 100 percent raw/organic/unrefined (REAL) it just matters if it came from the east or west part of africa, i think its from the west it is yellow and from the east it is the whiter color, the reason for this is because of the nut that its came from differs in color depending on what part of africa. With that said you can still have a fake product that isnt 100 percent unrefined or truly real shea butter even if its the color you think it should be. Although I honestly believe this product is legit, and one of the few real ones on amazon.

How does this come packaged? I'm okay with some melting...but don't want it melted out of the package on the front porch.

Mine arrived today totally liquified. The inner bag had leaked and a very small amount seeped through the outer packaging. It was nearly a hundred here so if you live in a hot climate, I'd wait to order it until cooler weather arrives. It hardened once I put the unopened bag in the refrigerator and I think it will work fine

I can't find the label that says organic on the product?

I only buy organic, with few exceptions, label or not, and I'm buying this product. Labeling is kind of a tricky thing. For instance, in Sweden, where artisan coffee is a huge thing, companies come up with their fair trade labels they mark their products with in addition to adding an organic label on it. But there is nothing that says that the whole production chain is 'fairly traded'. Same thing goes with organic cotton in clothing. It may be the case that the fabric is organic, but the dye used is extremely toxic and not organic at all.In regards to the US, I found this article that seems to point out how products get USDA certified despite having non-organic ingredients. http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/3980. It unfortunately makes shopping for organic healthy products even harder when you can't trust that the labeling is 100% transparent, so as consumers we need to be even more savvy and smart in our decision making. As far as buying organic comes, I look for raw and unrefined products as much as possible, like this product seems to be. In this case I wouldn't be to bother to much about a label. I try to avoid processed anything as much as possible and am fortunate enough to live on the country side where I can trade organic foods with my neighbors. When I lived in NY, I looked for locally grown, unprocessed foods as much as possible and whenever I could go upstate, I would bring food from the local farms back to the city and throw in the freezer.I also do research on how to buy organic without relying too much on a label to guide me as well as finding out exactly what foods and products to avoid WITH labeling and what is OK to consume with a label.Good luck!

Do you understand what Grade A means, truly? The American Shea Butter Institute is a private institution that offers shea butter testing at $600/batch, and they have created an arbitrary Grades classification that ranges from Grade A which they call "premium" to Grade F, defined as "shea moisturizer". While we do respect their purpose and activities, we have chosen to keep things simple and follow standard FDA and USDA regulations in selling cosmetic ingredients.All our products, including shea butter, are tested by an independent lab (not the Shea Butter institute) on a regular basis and at a fraction of the cost, thus allowing us to offer premium quality butters and oils at a reasonable price. We are proud of our high quality shea butter, you should give it a try and if you are not 100% satisfied you can return the item for a full refund.

I’ve been using Better Shea Butter 100% Unrefined Shea Butter as a key ingredient in my homemade skincare recipes, and it’s been great. It melts down smoothly and blends well with oils and essential oils. My skin feels deeply moisturized and soft after using it. I love that it’s pure and unrefined—perfect for DIY body butters and creams. A must-have for natural skincare routines.

I got this product last April and immediately requested a refund. It is not pure Shea butter; it looks greenish, and has some chunky pieces, which give me the feeling that it is mixed with something that has a different melting temperature

Update: After my original review of the unrefined version the company reached out to me. Great customer service! I decided to try the unscented version and am so glad I did. It's perfect for my sensitive nose. No aroma at all. And the product is doing wonders for my skin after just two days. After sleeping with it on all night I wake up with skin that does not feel dry but moisturizer. Can't wait to see what happens after a week, a month and longer. Apparently raw shea butter both hydrates and moisturizes, unlike other oils and fats. It sinks into the skin AND provides a protective layer. ORIGINAL POST. For a while I've wanted to try pure shea butter for it's great moisturizing properties. Aware that the smell can be a bit much I bought this anyway. The texture is great and it absorbs well. Not greasy at all. My hands feel great. For this is give five stars. The smell, however, is too much for my sensitive nose. It definitely has a smokey aroma and a bit of a chemical smell. It's not something I can use because of it. So for aroma I give it one star, or rather zero. Average it out and it's three stars for me. I'll be passing it along to someone else.
