This is what raw unrefined shea butter looks like

Pastor Strawcutter the founder of The Secrets of Eden in Adrian Michigan, reveals what real organic unrefined shea butter looks like. www.thesecretsofeden.com Call toll free 1-888-820-2126 The yellow tint is from Cochlospermum tinctorium the natural dye from the flower of the plant. Gives it better shelf life but does not result in any refining effects . It is still raw and organic.

I just brought some shea butter for a muslim african guy who has a stand , and it was raw shea butter and it is white with a smoky smell. I think shea butter is also very gritty.

[pastorstraw]

@nicoleahamilton Shea is often white and sometimes kind of tan in color. It all smells "funky"  except the refined stuff. That is white and odorless, more or less. Whether refined or unrefined, it all seems to be beneficial.

ppl say that its not yellow and its actually a creamish color tho??????

[pastorstraw]

@TRUEFREAKLEzz Shea that is yellow is shea butter that also has the lipids from the tree's flowers added, thus the color and improvement in fragrance. This in no way takes away from the efficacy of the shea butter and in my view is a bonus. You are right though, raw unrefined shea is cream or even brownish in color and funky smelling.

@pastorstraw

Everything you say is absolutely incorrect! "Raw" unrefined Shea Butter is an ivory color, NEVER deep yellow. The yellow stuff you have is Kpangnan Butter (from the "African Butter Tree", because it's butter is the color of butter). Kpangnan Butter is also a very good product, though. Very sad there is so much misinformation on this subject!

Shea butter is white, ivory or beige. The yellow butter is actually a different kind of butter called African Butter. If you get it yellow its either been dyed yellow or is actually African Butter not shea butter. Shea butter has been marketed wrong as yellow when in fact it is actually white, ivory or beige. DuchessGabrielle makes it pretty clear in her video so just check it out.

yellow, white, ivory, beige. When it's all said and done, the sellers are laughing all the way to the bank and the laborers are slaving 24/7 working under the conditions of dinosaur technology.

UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER IS YELLOW. "Most shea butter available to the general public outside West Africa is white and odorless: in other words, it has been "refined" to remove the natural scent and color of natural shea butter. In the process, the majority of the effective agents are also removed. For example, the yellow tint of unrefined shea butter is due to the Vitamin A content. Remove this color, and the beneficial vitamins have also been removed."

I nought a big tub of unrefined shea butter 3 years ago. It still has the same smell and texture. Is it still good to use?

Thank you!

[nicoleahamilton]

@pastorstraw thanks as long as it does justice which it did I made a hair butter with it.

@cocowms6 Even the yellow one is white when it's softened and being whipped, but when it sets to solid, it become yellow again. I have used the white and it has a very sensual nutty scent, this let's you know that this is the real deal.
