Raw Shea Butter

Refined Shea butter is obtained from the bone or kernel of the shea seed (Butyrospermum parkii), a tree that grows mainly in Sudan and West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria and Mali).

The oil content is 45%. Due to the melting point between 30 and 40 ºC we are talking about a fat or lard rather than an oil. White to pale gray refined fat is always used.
