Raw, refined shea butter... what are we talking about?

Since it is not refined, raw shea butter:

• Has a characteristic olive scent and a lovely beige hue

• Is a bit firmer and greasier than its refined version.

• Has protective, soothing, and nourishing properties. It helps maintain the skin's elasticity and integrity, and we love applying it to scars and irritated skin.

Refining consists of washing the butter with water and steam and filtering it repeatedly. No chemicals are involved in this process.

In its refined version, shea butter:

• Is odorless and white

• Its properties decrease by 50 to 80%

• Is much more stable in emulsions than raw butter. It is therefore appreciated in the manufacture of creams.

The unsaponifiable fats are different in raw shea butter and refined shea butter. For the manufacture of cold saponified soaps, it is therefore necessary to know whether raw or refined butter is being used, as they cannot be interchanged without recalculations.
