• Multi-Purpose: Use as a body butter, facial moisturizer, hair mask, lip balm, or ingredient in DIY soaps and lotions.
• Natural Sun Protection: Contains cinnamic acid which offers mild UV protection (not a substitute for sunscreen).
• Long Shelf Life: Properly stored, it remains fresh for up to 2 years.

How to Use

For Skin:

Scoop a small amount of shea butter and warm it between your palms until it softens. Apply to clean, dry skin, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Use daily for best results.

For Hair:

Melt a teaspoon of shea butter in your hands and work through damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends. Use as a leave-in conditioner or deep treatment mask. For deeper conditioning, apply generously, cover with a shower cap, and leave for 30 minutes before shampooing.

For DIY Projects:

Use as a base for whipped body butter, lip balms, soaps, and lotions. Combine with essential oils, carrier oils, or beeswax to create custom formulations.
