Condition: Dry or rough skin in need of moisture, especially on tougher areas such as the elbows, knees and feet.

Solution: Shea butter has a rich, luxurious texture that is well absorbed by the skin to condition and moisturize every type of skin. Shea butter is derived from the tree nuts of the karite trees that grow in Western and Central Africa. It is a wonderful emollient that's perfect for daily use. Can also be used as a scalp moisturizer.

Suggested Use:

Gently apply as desired, paying close attention to dry or rough areas; reapply as needed.

This product is naturally solid and color/texture will vary depending on temperature. This product will melt when warmed above body temperature and become solid again when cool. This is natural and may affect the appearance, but will not harm the quality of the product. This warming and cooling may produce fat crystals that affect the color/texture, making it appear grainy or uneven. If solid, shea butter can be softened by placing in a pan of hot water (e.g. 100° or warmer) for 30 minutes or by microwaving until soft.

Ingredient: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (tree nut).

Caution for Microwaving:
This jar contains a foil seal. Do not place this jar directly in microwave. Before microwaving, scoop out desired amount and place in a microwave-safe container. Allow time to cool before applying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is NOW Solutions Shea Butter 100% pure and unrefined?
A: Yes. It is 100% pure shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) sourced from the karite trees of Western and Central Africa. It is hexane-free, paraben-free, vegan and not tested on animals.

Q2: What are the main benefits of using shea butter on the skin?
A: Shea butter is rich in fatty acids (oleic, stearic, linoleic) and vitamins A & E. It deeply moisturises, soothes dry/irritated skin, seals in moisture, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and protects the skin barrier from environmental stress.

Q3: How do I use NOW Foods Shea Butter?
A: Warm a small amount between your palms until it softens, then gently massage onto dry areas such as elbows, knees, heels, hands or scalp. Reapply as needed. It can also be added to DIY balms, body butters and hair masks.

Q4: Is it suitable for sensitive skin, babies and the face?
A: Yes. Pure shea butter is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin and is commonly used for dry baby skin, eczema-prone areas and as a rich night-time facial moisturiser. Patch test first if you have a tree-nut allergy.

Q5: Where is it made and where can I buy it locally?
