    Soil Organic Ugandan Shea Butter (Unrefined) - Essentially Natural

    Soil Organic Ugandan Shea Butter (Unrefined)

    INCI: Butyrospermum parkii

    Shea butter is a wonderful natural moisturiser rich in Vitamins A and E that can nourish and protect dry, damaged skin. In fact, Shea butter can help improve many skin conditions: acne, burns, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, scarring and stretch marks.

    Size: 100ml.


    • Shea butter is a firm butter that is more pliable if kept at room temperature. Even when firm it softens easily on your skin. Simply take a small amount and soften in the palm of your hand to smooth over dry, damaged skin. It can be applied as often as you need.

       

      100% pure organic Ugandan Shea Butter (Unrefined)

       

      Shea butter contains various fatty acids which each have a specific temperature range where they melt and solidify. When the butter is melted and heat is unevenly distributed some fatty acids may solidify quicker than others, resulting in a grainy texture. Sometimes these grains take days, weeks or even months to appear. There is nothing wrong with the butter if it is grainy, but most prefer a smooth, buttery texture.

      To prevent graininess and grain formation you will need to make sure that heat is evenly distributed during the cool down process. This is best achieved by constantly stirring the melted butter during cool down. Unfortunately simply pouring melted shea butter into jars and leaving to cool at room temperature without evenly distributing the heat will likely result in grains. So rather gently stir your melted butter while it cools for best results.

      • Shopping online is much like shopping at a brick and mortar store. When shopping with Essentially Natural you can simply 'Add to Cart' your selected items and quantities and 'Check Out' when ready. During the checkout process you can list your delivery address details (if you haven't created an account already), then choose your preferred delivery method, then select your preferred method of payment.
        • To add products to your cart, either use the categories to search for items, or use the search bar. Once you have found what you want, simply click on our gold 'Add to Cart' button to add any products to your shopping cart.
        • You can click on your trolley icon at any time to view items in your cart and be taken to the checkout page.
        • On the cart page you'll see an overview of the products in your cart. You can add or remove quantities or remove items as desired. The shopping cart will immediately update.  
        • Checkout is completed in 3 simple steps:
          1. 'Sign In' to your account, or 'Create an Account' or 'Checkout as a Guest' if this is the first time you're shopping with us. There are many advantages to creating a customer account; primary among these is ease of use of our shop in future, including tracking your order progress. However checking out as one time guest simply entails registering your delivery details.
          2. Choose a shipping option: select your preferred delivery method from the listed options (these options are offered based on what is available to your specified delivery address).
          3. Please select your preferred payment method: make direct payment via EFT or via secure online payments portal, Peach Payments*: by debit card, cheque card or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club), Instant EFT, MasterPass or MobiCred.

    hard work

    I love shea butter but this organic brand seems grainier and takes a bit more effort to apply than the other brands you sell. You really have to rub the butter in your hands before applying it. It does moisturize well though.
