Our Virgin Unrefined African Shea Butter is extracted from the Shea nut and left completely unrefined. Because of the lack of refinement, Bulk African Shea Butter has a pale yellowish colour and has the typical odour normally associated with Shea Butter. This shea butter comes from Burkina Faso, Africa, and is certified organic.
Shea Butter Benefits
Pure Shea Butter first became popular in Africa where it is widely used in cooking and medicinal purposes. Eventually it made its way to the west as more people discovered its amazing emollient qualities. Shea Butter has a high level of non-saponifiables and other qualities that makes it a popular ingredient in many cosmetic supplies, lotions, and other skin care products.
Shea Butter can improve skin elasticity, which has made it popular with both men and women. Today it is used as an essential ingredient for belly butters and stretch mark creams.
More than that, though, Shea Butter can also block the sun’s ultraviolet rays, so you will often find it as a major ingredient in sun block products, lip balms, and lip gloss. It can also be used as an anti-inflammatory and humectants which makes it very useful in medicinal ointments and creams.
Refined Shea Butter – Our bulk refined Shea Butter is most often used for cosmetics and soaps. The process to refine the butter involves extracting it from the Shea nut and filtering out any of the impurities. This results in a creamy off-white color and an extremely pure product. There is also less of an odor, which is why refined butter is the normal choice for the soap making and personal care industry.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) Known for its ability to reduce inflammation, Vitamin E oil is an excellent moisturizing ingredient for any product. Its nourishing, antioxidant rich, and skin-brightening qualities make it ideal for serums, body scrubs and oils, moisturizers, butters, and more. It blends very easily with fragrance oils, essential oils, butters, and other oils, as well.
Glycerin is great for the skin because it acts as a humectant, which is a substance that allows the skin to retain moisture. It can increase skin hydration, relieve dryness, and refresh the skin’s surface.
It’s also an emollient, which means it can soften skin. This is great if eczema or psoriasis leave you with rough or dry patches.
Glycerin also has antimicrobial properties, which means it can protect the skin from harmful microorganisms.
Many supporters believe it can also repair skin and speed the wound-healing process.
In manufacturing, witch hazel leaf extract, bark extract, and witch hazel water are used as astringents to tighten the skin. They are also included in some medications to give those products the ability to slow down or stop bleeding. Those medications are used for treating insect bites, stings, itching, irritations, and minor pain.
How does it work ?
Witch hazel contains chemicals called tannins. When applied directly to the skin, witch hazel might help reduce swelling, help repair broken skin, and fight bacteria.

JOJOBA OIL
Botanical Name: Simmondsia Chinensis
Extraction Method: Cold Pressed
Processing Type: Refined
Obtained From: Seeds
Origin: Israel
Description: Organic Jojoba Clear is a favourite carrier oil. In actuality, it is a liquid wax. It is known to closely resemble the sebum of the skin and is rich in vitamin E. This gives a healthy-looking complexion to your skin. The Clear variety of Jojoba has been put through a charcoal filter, removing the colour and odour. This ensures the benefits of manufacturing without the risk of odour or product decolonization. It is also important to note that Jojoba may go cloudy in cool temperatures. It will return to its clear state with warming. Purchases of entire drums can also expect some clouding near the end of the drum. This is natural, as Phospholipids (natural components of most vegetable oils) hydrate and precipitate out of suspension. The sediment is actually extremely high in beneficial vitamin E and will only create problems if the oil is heated to extreme temperatures where it will darken and precipitate out of suspension. Any sediment can be decanted out wherever practical.
Aromatic Description: Typical and Characteristics of Carrier Oils.
Common Uses: Organic Jojoba Clear Oil can be added to other carrier oils in order to extend shelf lives, and has become a common oil in the aromatherapy industry because of its excellent skin care properties. The Clear variety is also the Jojoba of choice in cosmetic manufacturing and soap making. Massage therapists may use small amounts in their carrier oil blends, but as it will clog pores, its application is limited.

Use & Benefits:
Potassium hydroxide is used to control and establish the pH of cosmetic products. The pH of the skin is slightly acidic, known as the acidic mantle. It is maintained by the sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and natural flora of the skin. This protects the skin from external factors like microbes, irritants, and exposure to harmful rays. It helps in reducing premature aging and irritation of the skin. It is important to maintain the normal pH balance of the skin in order to prevent detrimental effects on the skin. Since too acidic pH can irritate the skin and harms the skin, while too basic pH can cause depletion of vital lipids from the skin. pH adjusters or buffers maintain this pH balance of the product and avoids skin’s pH to shift too far from the normal range. It is also used in the saponification of oils which is quite an important step in making bath soaps or washes. It is used in formulations of bath products, cleansing agents, make-up products, shaving products, and other personal care products.
