The differences between raw and refined Shea Butter lies in how the Shea Butter is extracted from the nut and how it is processed after that.

The basic process is the same in most families. Shea nuts, the fruit of the shea tree is picked, cracked, grilled and pounded to extract the butter. It is then boiled in water for a number of hours until the fresh shea butter rises to the surface. It is then scooped into gourds and left to cool and set. This process imparts the wonderful smells noted with each batch. Manual extraction processes leave more of the raw ingredients in the Shea Butter.

Shea butter is known especially for its cosmetic properties as a moisturizer and emollient.

Important Naokeidoe Butters and Oils Information

Please note that your package may be on its way to you inside a delivery truck for up to 5 days depending on your locations. The temperatures inside these delivery trucks can be hot as 120 degrees and higher. At these temperatures many of the oils and butters you purchase will change their consistency. We suggest you place all butters in the refrigerator upon arrival for several hours prior to using them. Shea butter can become grainy feeling if it's melted at high heat and not cooled rapidly or stirred while it is cooling. The environment while shipping in summer months is the reason for this. In no way is the effectiveness of the butter diminished or altered by the grainy feeling.
