How it’s used
What it is
A solid plant fat
Shea butter is a solid fat from the nut of the shea tree. It is rich and melts at skin temperature, which makes it a classic for very dry skin, hands, lips and as a base for balms.
It is richer than most liquid oils, so a little goes a long way.

How to use it
- Warm a little between your fingers until it melts, then apply thinly.
- For dry zones: hands, elbows, heels, lips, also in homemade balms.
- Unrefined vs refined: unrefined keeps more of its natural character and scent; refined is more neutral.
- Patch test first; people with nut allergies should be cautious.
Said honestly
Shea butter is a genuinely rich, pleasant care fat for very dry skin, but it is care, not a treatment, and we make no health promises. For oily or blemished skin it can feel too heavy. Choose pure shea butter and use it sparingly. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
