Kyabo Pure African Ivory Shea Butter 5 lb — 100% Raw Unrefined Grade A for Skin, Hair & DIY

Kyabo Pure African Ivory Shea Butter is a 5-pound jar of raw, unrefined Grade A shea that melts on contact to deeply nourish skin, hair and scalp without additives.

Harvested and processed in a minimally refined way, this shea butter preserves natural vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants that support moisture retention and texture. The semi-soft consistency spreads easily and can be used straight from the container or blended into DIY skincare and haircare formulations. Packaged in a large 5 lb size, it’s built for regular home use, makers of personal care products, or anyone who prefers a natural, multi-purpose butter.

How will Kyabo shea butter improve dry or rough skin?

This unrefined shea butter provides long-lasting surface hydration and helps restore suppleness to dry areas. It forms a lightweight barrier that reduces moisture loss without feeling greasy when applied correctly.

• Apply sparingly to dry patches, elbows, knees and heels for softening.
• Melts into skin on contact for quick absorption and smooth finish.
• Suitable for sensitive skin due to lack of added fragrances or chemicals.

Can I use this shea butter for natural hair care and scalp conditioning?

Yes — the rich, fatty texture helps detangle, smooth frizz and add manageability for coarser and curly hair types. It works as a pre-shampoo treatment, a leave-in sealant for moisture, or an ingredient in conditioners and styling butter blends.

• Use as a deep-conditioning mask to help soften thick, curly hair.
• Apply a small amount to the ends to reduce breakage and frizz.
• Mix into conditioners or DIY hair butters for added slip and nourishment.

How do I store and incorporate this product into homemade skincare recipes?

The semi-soft, raw texture allows easy scooping and blending; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep it stable. It combines well with oils, essential oils, waxes and butters to create lotions, balms, soaps and lip care without losing its natural properties.

• Whip with carrier oils for a lighter body butter or mix with beeswax for salves.
• Melt gently for soap-making or to blend into conditioner bases.
• Keep sealed in its container to prevent contamination and odor absorption.

Is this product truly unrefined and safe for everyday use?

Kyabo’s shea butter is presented as raw and unrefined, retaining native components rather than undergoing heavy processing or deodorization. Because it’s free from additives, many users find it suitable for everyday moisturizing and as a base in homemade personal care, though patch testing is recommended for new users.

• Unrefined Grade A keeps natural scent and beneficial compounds intact.
• Non-GMO and free from synthetic fragrances and preservatives.
• Patch-test first if you have known nut sensitivities.

Who this is for: Kyabo Pure African Ivory Shea Butter is ideal for people seeking a large, natural supply of unrefined butter for body and hair care, DIY skincare creators, and households that prefer plant-based, multi-use moisturizers. It particularly suits those with dry or textured hair types and anyone wanting a simple, additive-free ingredient to customize personal care recipes.
