This stuff is GOLD! You’ll get 4 ounces bulk of pure virgin unrefined African Shea butter, extracted from the Shea nut and left completely unrefined. Because of the lack of refinement, African Shea Butter has a pale yellowish color and has the typical nutty and beautiful smell normally associated with Shea Butter. This Shea butter comes from Burkina Faso, Africa and is certified organic. This is the same Shea butter I use in all of my soaps, solid lotion bars and whipped butter. It’s really top quality butter and the benefits are endless! Look it up for yourself!
