Types of Shea Butter

6. Rawvs.refinedSheaButter Raw Shea Butter is processed manually and hasn’t
undergone any chemical processing and as such
retains all of its vitamins, organic acids, minerals and
other nutrients.
Refined Shea butter on the other hand, is an
industrially processed Shea Butter.
This type of butter has been bleached through
chemical processes to make them whiter and ‘purer’.

your Shea Butter, then you should go for the
unrefined type.
