about this product
What is Shea Butter?
Unrefined shea butter from Vitellaria paradoxa, the shea tree of the West African savanna belt running through Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and neighboring countries, in an 8 oz (236 ml) tub. Unrefined means the butter keeps its natural ivory color and characteristic mild, nutty aroma; refined shea is more neutral but loses part of what makes the raw material distinctive.
About shea
Shea butter is pressed from the nuts of the shea tree, and its traditional processing, roasting, grinding, and kneading the paste by hand, has been a West African craft economy, largely run by women, for centuries. In the home craft world it is one of the foundational butters for balm, salve, and body-butter recipes, often paired with beeswax and jojoba oil.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
