## Description

Product description TIME LONG AGO Shea butter has a long history in Africa. It has been used for various purposes, including beauty, since ancient times. It was employed in ancient Egypt during Cleopatra's reign, where she used it for skin and hair care. According to legend, she received shea butter in large clay pots. Queen Sheba is also believed to have used shea butter. The exact origin of shea is not well-known due to changes in vegetation and continuous semi-domestication. In 2016, archaeologists discovered shea nut shells in houses in Burkina Faso dating back to 100 CE, providing evidence of its historical use. The trade in shea butter can be traced back roughly 4300 years ago to ancient Egypt, and there are documented records of its trade during the periods of 1352-1353 and 1795-1797 by explorers. WHERE IS IT PRODUCED Shea trees have a height ranging from 33 to 49 feet and exhibit a well-branched, circular growth pattern. The bark of these trees is thick and spongy, providing protection against wildfires that frequently occur and cause damage to the surrounding vegetation. After approximately ten to fifteen years, the trees start bearing fruit, reaching their peak productivity at around 20 years and continuing to produce nuts for up to 200 years. The shea fruits undergo a development and ripening process lasting four to six months, following the blooming of the trees with creamy white petals that last for a month or two. As they mature, the green fruits transition to a rich brown color. On average, each tree yields 30 to 45 pounds of fruit per year, with peak yields reach… THE RIGHT SEASON During the annual season, when food supplies are scarce, shea nuts are collected during the rainy season, which spans from May to August. This process involves several days of careful selection, gathering, drying, pounding, and kneading. THE CREDIT GOES TO Shea nuts are gathered and processed using the same traditional methods that have been practiced for thousands of years. Ripe shea fruits naturally fall from the trees and are collected early in the morning. Local women, often with the help of children before school, traditionally carry out the harvesting. Women across Africa, often working together in groups, have embraced the production of shea butter as a means to achieve economic self-sufficiency. In recent decades, the popularity of shea butter has grown worldwide. The manufacturing of shea butter is mostly overseen by women, and it is thanks to their dedicated work that we have shea butter available to us. The women of Africa deserve credit for their unwavering efforts in providing us with shea butter. Production Methods There are two different methods utilized for the processing of Shea Butter. These methods include crushing and solvent extraction. The solvent extraction method involves the use of hexane as a solvent to extract the majority of the fatty components. This technique is advantageous as it enables the extraction of the highest proportion of fatty acids and is also cost-effective. Particularly in the chocolate industry, Shea Butter is widely utilized, and the solvent extraction process has become the standard practice. It is a family thing Numerous households across West Africa hold their own unique methods of procuring shea butter, a tradition enduring through many generations. In most homes, the basic process remains similar. The undertaking begins with selecting shea nuts, the fruit of the Shea Tree. These nuts are then cracked, roasted, and ground. The mixture is subsequently boiled in water for several hours until the shea butter floats to the top. Once this happens, the substance is gathered into gourds where it cools and solidifies. This entire process is carried out manually. This age-old method may not yield large quantities of shea butter, but it remains favored due to its natural, chemical-free extraction process. Did you know The shells that are left over from the procedure are utilized as cooking fuel. Concurrently, the seeds are subjected to a process of cracking and roasting. The Vital Importance Women's participation in the Shea Butter industry significantly bolsters their economic stature, facilitating them to make vital decisions and investments concerning their lives, families, and communities. Shea butter serves as a critical employment and income source for women in rural areas. The proceeds from selling Shea butter are directed towards various essential expenses like household bills, education fees, and infrastructure development, all aimed at elevating their family's wellbeing. This involvement fosters a sense of independence and empowerment in women by enabling them to make decisions autonomously, with minimal interference from their male counterparts. Shea butter hubs have also established a space for women to share ideas and uplift their lives and initiatives. Shea Butter Highlights Shea butter proves particularly useful during the winter months Shea is a wonderful moisturizer Unrefined shea butter has an ivory color, but will vary with crop. Don’t forget you can combine Shea Butter with other natural ingredients to make your own DIY, lotions, body butters, and so much more. Shea butter, a remarkable product, is derived from the seeds and fruits of shea and karite trees. Shea butter is highly regarded for its moisturizing capacity and its richness in beneficial fatty acids, which contribute to its unique properties TRUST US FOR YOUR RAW UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER QUALITY YOU EXPECT Yellow Brick Rd Shea Butter, derived entirely from pure, raw, and unrefined shea nuts, offers an affordable touch of luxury What Happens Raw unrefined shea butter is a natural substance extracted from the nuts of the Shea tree, predominantly found in West Africa.

Review: CREAMY DREAMY GOODNESS! - The smoothest, loveliest shea butter I've ever used (and I've used a lot - it's the only thing that moisturizes my skin). Not the least bit grainy, it has a wonderful, almost chocolatey scent. Definitely buying again!
Review: seems very good brand and defintely can feel the soft skin, it works! - I am very happy with this! Using it to soften severely cracked heels and it's therapeutic properties in my skin care. It is known for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, making it beneficial for conditions like dry skin, eczema, and minor wounds. I had ankle surgery and hoping it helps with the inflammation. It is greasy, be aware! Some people mix it with some other natural products to cut back on some grease. I am just applying it and rubbing it in and adding socks to let it sink in better. It has a slight smell that is not at all like perfume. It is not a wow smell or even nice but it is not awful by any means. I did notice that the sock will smell a bit unpleasant after it has had the shea butter in it but that just needs to be washed. Do not wash the socks with other items that might possibly get affected by the grease from the Shea Butter if you launder socks with other items. I always just wash socks with socks because I doubt the washing machine kills all of the bacteria. Handwashing is best but I sometimes get lazy and look for easier ways. It appears to be a high quality. I did read to NOT buy refined Shea Butter, this is NOT refined and I am happy. I saw several online articles recommend this brand as one of the better ones to choose from. Hopefully it is as good as it can get or close to that! We cannot trust magazines, etc. because they often don't test things thoroughly and reprint other people's opinions. I do think Shea butter does go bad after a time so keep it closed and check how to store it. I am keeping mine closed in the package that it came in, for now. I might transfer it to a glass dish (not plastic). Don't let air in if possible.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The description says this is one pound (16 oz). The shipping weight says it is 4 oz. Which one is correct?**
A: It is 16 oz.  There is a label on my package that reads - Yellow Brick Road 100% Raw...a Ivory 1 Pound(16oz)...   This label is on top of another label of same size etc the label underneath it reads - Miibox 100% Pure Unrefined Raw Shea Butter 1 Pound...  I am not impressed at all and I will be returning it.

**Q: Trying to find out how to make whipping cream using shea butter for skin**
A: I make a make shify double boiler and melt the Shea butter and coconut oil. After melted I take off heat add essential oils then put in freezer or fridge so it can get to a point to where if you push down with your finger it gives a little. You don't want it to be completely hard. You want it just to the point to before it gets hard. After I take hand mixer and whip it. I put contents in glass jar and put in fridge over night. My home stay between 69 and 75 degrees so it doesn't melt.

**Q: How is it packaged?**
A: MIne came in a Mylar package if I remember correctly.

**Q: Is this product cold pressed?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make high quality soaps from scratch!
*by M***J on May 31, 2026*

I've tried a few soap recipes and found one in in love with. I use Raw African Shea Butter for 1/3 of the "solid fats" in the recipe. The result is a bar of soap that is very moisturizing and lasts a very long time. There isn't really a smell to shea butter so adding essential oils is really easy. The result is a product you'll absolutely want to keep making for yourself and others. The shea itself is super clean. My skin always feels great. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this shea butter.
