Yellow shea butter gets its deep golden color from one thing: extract from the African Borututu Tree. That’s the only ingredient added to the unrefined shea butter base. No palm oil, no fillers. African communities have used Borututu extract for generations to soothe and restore skin, and that tradition is why it’s here.
It’s rich in vitamins and antioxidants, absorbs well, and works hard on dry, rough, or cracked skin. If your skin needs real moisture, not just a surface coat, this does the job.
This is unrefined African yellow shea butter blended with extract from the Borututu Tree, a plant African natives have used for centuries to heal and calm irritated skin. The extract is what gives yellow shea butter its signature deep golden color; that comes from the vivid yellow interior of the Borututu Tree itself. No dyes, no palm oil, nothing added beyond that single botanical ingredient.
Because it’s unrefined, it keeps its full nutrient profile intact. You’re getting vitamins A, E, and F alongside antioxidants that help the skin repair itself over time. It melts on contact with warm skin, so a small amount goes a long way. Works well on the face, body, elbows, heels, or anywhere the skin is cracked or rough.
It also mixes well into DIY skincare recipes; balms, whipped butters, salves. If you’re formulating something, this gives you both color and skin-healing properties without complicating your ingredient list.
Shea butter is made from shea nuts. If you have a nut allergy, we recommend browsing our other cosmetic butters.
Weight: 16 oz | Melting Point: 89–100°F

Yellow Shea Butter adds color
I ordered the yellow version to give color to one of my recipes. It did the trick, but I'm not sure it was necessary. I think I like the plain Shea Butter better. Both are fine, just a personal preference on color.
Thomas, we appreciate your order and for sharing your experience!

Yellow Shea butter
It’s been great using the yellow Shea butter. I simply use it in its raw form for my body and face.
Originally thought I would make a body butter but like it like simple.
Thank you for the kind words, Mariane! So glad you're enjoying your purchase :)

Top Quality Shea Butter!!
I have been using this brand for almost a year or so for my skin and hair, I’ve used other brands in the past, one cost the same as 1lb of this brand but that brand only gave half the amount. For the value and quality this is the best Shea Butter on the market to get. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good quality shea butter as a primary moisturizer for skin and hair.
