This listing is for 8 oz by weight of Raw Unrefined Shea Butter from the Savannah of Ghana. The bright yellow color is an indicator for high quality shea butter, and this is what I keep in stock. The shea butter comes packaged in a plastic lock bag. This is one of the staple ingredients that I use in my soaps, shampoo bars, lip balms, butters and lotion bars. It is exceptionally rich and moisturizing and has an extremely long shelf life. Free Lotion Bar Recipe Included!

Here is some interesting information about Shea Butter from Wikipedia about the Traditional use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shea_butter#Traditional:

Shea butter is used as a base for medicinal ointments, and has been claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties emollient and humectant. Shea butter has been claimed to be effective treatment for the following conditions: fading scars, eczema, burns, rashes, severely dry skin, dark spots, skin discolorations, chapped lips, stretchmarks, wrinkles, and in lessening the irritation of psoriasis. Shea butter has been used as a sunblocking lotion, although the level of protection against the sun's ultraviolet radiation is extremely variable, ranging from nothing to approximately SPF 6. However, studies have shown it to reduce the effects of UV damage on the skin. In Ghana, shea butter, locally known as nkuto (Akan) or nku (Ga) is used as lotion to protect the skin during the dry Harmattan season.

In Nigeria, shea butter (popularly called ori in Yoruba) is used for the management of sinusitis and relief of nasal congestion. This is due to its hydrating properties which helps in relaxing the tension in the facial skin thus easing respiration
