What is Unrefined Shea Butter?
Unrefined shea butter is made from the nuts of the shea tree, known scientifically as Vitellaria paradoxa. Unlike refined shea butter, which loses many of its beneficial properties during processing, unrefined shea butter retains essential nutrients like vitamins A, E, and F. This version has a luxurious creamy texture and a pleasant nutty aroma, making it a popular choice among skincare lovers. Our organic unrefined shea butter is crafted from the finest shea nuts and is sourced from ethical producers committed to quality.

Skin Conditioning Properties
One of the standout benefits of unrefined shea butter is its remarkable ability to enhance skin health. With regular use, it can significantly improve skin texture, help smooth out wrinkles, and fade scars. People with dryness, cracking, or conditions like eczema and psoriasis often find relief through its use.
For instance, studies have shown that shea butter can improve skin hydration by up to 80%. This is especially beneficial for individuals living in dry climates or during harsh winter months. The combination of fatty acids in shea butter ensures that your skin remains soft and supple. By replacing synthetic lotions with unrefined shea butter, you not only nourish your skin but also support its natural beauty.

100% Natural & Organic
At The Beaux Apothicaire, we prioritize quality. Our organic shea butter is certified 100% organic by Ecocert, adhering to both USDA National Organic Program and EU Organic standards. This means that no harmful chemicals are used in its extraction, preserving its natural goodness.
Choosing organic shea butter guarantees a product that is free from additives and toxins. In a study, over 60% of consumers reported feeling better about using products they know are organic. By opting for organic ingredients, you not only care for your skin but also commit to a healthier lifestyle.
Supporting Women in Ghana
The impact of our organic shea butter goes beyond skincare; it directly supports women's livelihoods in Ghana. Our Deluxe Shea Butter comes from the Gumo community in the Kumbungu district of Tamale, Northern Ghana.
We work with women cooperative groups, adhering to certified Fair Trade practices. This means the women receive fair compensation, which empowers them economically and fosters community growth. One statistic shows that Fair Trade initiatives can increase income by as much as 40%, significantly improving family stability and community support.
