Using Shea Butter Directly on Skin
Question
I want to purchase unrefined Shea Butter (Certified Organic) to use directly on my skin because I have dry, cracked skin. However, I saw a warning. I would like to ask if this product can be used directly on the skin without mixing? Thank you.
Answer
Using Shea Butter Directly on Skin
Yes, you can use shea butter directly on your skin, including for dry and cracked areas.
Both Golden Shea Butter (Virgin, Ghana) and Shea Butter (Refined, Deodorised) are suitable for direct application and can be used at 100%. Shea butter is highly effective for moisturizing and helping to restore dry skin.
The warning you may have seen could be related to the Golden Shea Butter (Virgin, Ghana). As a virgin (unprocessed) product, its natural color, texture, and odor can vary from batch to batch. The Shea Butter (Refined, Deodorised) is processed to be odorless and more consistent.
Choose the type that best suits your preference regarding natural characteristics versus a refined, odorless product.
