Escentia Shea Butter - Unrefined is a 100% pure, unrefined natural butter used in cosmetic applications for the face, body, hair and rich anhydrous formulations. It can be used directly on skin or hair, or incorporated into DIY balms, body butters and other oil-based cosmetic products. This version is sold for cosmetic use only, as it has not undergone food-grade certification, and is best suited to richer routines where a dense, protective butter texture is preferred.
♡ Why we love it: Unrefined shea butter is a simple, hardworking staple in natural body and hair care. It works well on its own or in DIY formulations, and its unrefined format stays close to the ingredient’s natural character.

Escentia Shea Butter (Unrefined)
Service is excellent. Love the butter on my skin and hair.
I received it so quickly and I was very happy
I was very disappointed by the quality of Escentia shear butter. It was rotten with some moulds in it. I complained to the company and they replaced itvwith another brand within a week.
The service really great. I was notified of the order throughout and it was delivered quickly. Not happy with the quality of the shea butter though, might have something to do with storage. It was not as I usually find my unrefined shea butters. It was a bit too soft and had a strange scent. Managed to whip it added oils and some essential oils. All in all the service was great, slightly disappointed in quality of the product
The product is great. I was pleased
I use the product as one of the ingredients in an all natural zinc oxide sunblock. I love the nutty fragrance and I find it works incredibly well. I recommend the quality and am very satisfied with it.
Very good product . I’m more than happy
