100% Refined Shea Butter
What is Refined Shea Butter?
Refined shea butter is carefully purified to remove colour and odour while retaining its nourishing, skin soothing, and versatile properties. Perfect for:
- Cooking & baking — mild, neutral flavour
- Frying & sautéing — higher smoke point for heat
- Cosmetics & skincare — lotions, creams, and lip balms
- Soaps & candles — melts easily and blends smoothly
100% Unrefined Shea Butter
What is Unrefined Shea Butter?
Unrefined shea butter is 100% natural shea butter extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree without chemical processing. This keeps its natural vitamins, fatty acids, and nutrients intact, making it highly valued by cosmetics, skincare, and personal care manufacturers.
Bulk unrefined shea butter provides a pure, versatile base for creating creams, lotions, balms, soaps, and more.

Industries We Serve
One ingredient, many production lines
Shea butter moves easily between cosmetic, personal care and food manufacturing. We supply the grade each line needs — and keep it identical on the next order.
From origin to your factory
Every batch is documented, tested and traceable.
Five checkpoints stand between the shea parkland and your receiving dock. None of them is optional.
1
Cooperative sourcing
Nuts and butter are bought from verified women's cooperatives across the West African shea belt, under long-standing sourcing partnerships.
2
Grading & processing
Material is separated by grade — raw, refined, food-grade, organic — and processed to the colour, odour and melt profile the order calls for.
3
Quality control
Each batch is tested and documented before it is released, so what leaves origin matches the specification agreed with you.
4
Export compliance
Shipping documents, certificates and customs paperwork are prepared for every consignment, with the batch reference carried through.
5
Delivery & repeat supply
Your order ships on schedule — and the specification is held so the next tonne matches the last one.
