About the Product
The RA Cosmetics 100% Natural African Shea Butter – Yellow Chunky & Unrefined is a rich, multipurpose butter crafted from the nuts of the African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), traditionally grown in West Africa.
Its distinctive yellow color comes from the addition of Borracho root extract, a plant-based ingredient traditionally incorporated into yellow shea butter. The shea nuts are processed using time-honored methods that include sun-drying, roasting, grinding, kneading, whipping, and filtering.
With its rich, chunky texture, this unrefined shea butter can be used to moisturize dry skin, condition hair and scalp, or as a base for DIY beauty products.

Important Storage Notice
Shea butter has a natural tendency to soften or melt when exposed to warmer temperatures. Melting does not necessarily indicate that the product has been damaged. If the shea butter melts, place it in a cooler environment and allow it to naturally solidify again. Store away from direct sunlight and heat sources to help maintain its preferred consistency.
