Our refined shea butter from Ghana is cold expeller pressed and carbon treated to remove the impurities. It is not solvent extracted, but mechanically extracted, there are no impurities left whatsoever, this butter is almost odorless. Shea is extremely moisturizing and gentle to the skin. In soaps, it gives a very luxurious feel to the finished product. It can also be added to creams and lotions or used alone for massage, skin cream, applied directly on small skin burns or applied to hair.
Shea butter is not hard and crumbly like cocoa butter, its color ranges from white to ivory white; it is creamy at normal temperature.
Shea butter is remarkably high in unsaponifiables, up to 11%, making it a superfatting material for soapmaking. To use in soapmaking (2-5% of your total fats and oils) melt the shea butter at very low temperature with the other solid fats. To superfat with shea butter add 1-2/3 tablespoons per 5 pounds of soap, melted and cooled to approximately 75F (24C) just before adding the scent. SAP value: 180.0. INCI: Butyrospermum parkii.

By far my favorite butter. It is wonderful alone or added to soap. My main use is a cream that I make for my sons eczema. Clears it up.

I love this Shea butter & like many other reviewers wish I would of gotten more than I did with the first ordering of it. It is soft & creamy. So much so, I will take a spoon & just break a little piece off to rub into my hands & arms after constantly washing them when Im formulating & working with a vast aray of products I make. Will be getting more soon. I add a,little to the soaps I make & as of so far all my customers are loving the moisturizing properties it adds to their skin :0)

I buy the refined version so my lip balms will be smooth and not as grainy. I have bought from other retailers before finding Camden and all I can say is WOW, what a difference. I have seen a smoother shea that still has the silkyness.

This Shea Butter is amazing! I haven't been able to find anything like it, anywhere else. And the price is SO reasonable.
Thank you Camden-Grey!

I was so pleased the way Camden Grey packaged their products. I Simply loved my 2lb order of this butter. It was very buttery. I made a very rich body butter and shared it with my closest friends. They all loved it. I added myrrh to one batch and Jasmine to the other. Amazing!

This one is sooo much better than the raw shea butter esp if you want the effect without the smell , its also easy to melt when needed.
