Our 100% pure refined shea nut butter from West Africa is trusted and used by elite spas, certified massage therapists, skin care and cosmetic companies, master formulators, health care professionals, and wellness centers worldwide.

Refined shea butter goes through more processing than raw or unrefined versions so the therapeutic benefits of the shea may be altered, but refined emollients are preferred by some formulators who prefer a blank slate on which to build their formulas, especially blends which will be built with proprietary scents. The refining process removes natural color and aroma. Our organic refined shea nut butter is white and scent-free.

Directions for Use

• Shea butter is thick and absorbs slowly, massage it on hands, elbows, feet, stretch marks, scars, and calloused skin
• Unique fatty acid profile coupled with butter’s high level of non-saponifiables make it a highly effective emollient

Emollients have the power to soften and smooth skin. They are relieving, palliative, healing, and assuasive. sammysoap does not sell products for internal use because we are not licensed as a food company, however, the idea here is simple: skin is permeable. Skin is the body's largest organ. Why put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth? Shea butter is a common cooking ingredient in Africa. It is great for your skin and food for your body. Not for internal use.
