Shea Butter (REFINED & CERTIFIED ORGANIC)
Organic Shea Butter (Refined)
What is Refined Shea Butter?
Refined Shea Butter is a highly moisturising, odourless, and creamy butter extracted from the nuts of the African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Unlike unrefined shea butter, refined shea butter undergoes a gentle filtration process to remove its natural scent and color while preserving its nourishing properties. It is widely used in skincare, cosmetics, and soap making due to its soft texture, deep hydration, and versatility.
Benefits of Refined Shea Butter

- Non-Greasy Texture: Lightweight and easy to blend into skincare formulations.
- Rich in Vitamins A & E: Helps repair and protect the skin.
- Gentle for All Skin Types: Perfect for sensitive and dry skin.
- Odorless & Colourless: Ideal for fragrance-free formulations.
Uses of Refined Shea Butter in Soap Making
1. Adds a Creamy & Luxurious Feel
Refined Shea Butter creates a smooth, conditioning lather in soap bars, making them feel luxurious and gentle on the skin.
2. Improves Soap Hardness
Due to its high content of stearic acid, it helps make soap bars firmer and longer-lasting.
3. Enhances Moisturising Properties
Shea butter deeply conditions the skin, preventing dryness and leaving a silky after-feel, making it perfect for cold-process and hot-process soap making.
