The true shea butter is in fact off-white, ivory, or beige. The yellow is NOT shea butter it is african butter. However, some companies DYE the real shea butter to make it look like african butter. Im sorry sir, but you need to take this video down because it is an ignorant and decieving analysis of shea butter. IT MAKES ME QUESTION YOUR OTHER VIDEOS.

@blackindian81

There are people who tell us all the time that the yellow shea butter is the only true shea butter; and others tell us that the white is the only true shea butter. We have not been able to find anything objective or conclusive to say that one color is authentic (or more authentic) than the other. We present them both as being equally effective. This is generally the experience of other people we have worked with in selling African shea butter for the last eight years.

hmmmm...yellow shea butter in some parts of africa is called african butter, meaning its not the same tree used to make real shea butter which is the baige kind so very confused about this. ive got yellow shea butter and you can tell its no where near the quality of the smooth baige kind. something different has been added. no shea butter should be that bright yellow.

We have seen shea butter that has been dyed yellow. Most yellow shea butter is not dyed however. Some say that white shea butter has been processed and that nutrients are lost in the processing. Not all white shea butter has been processed however. For what it's worth, the yellow shea butter sells much more than the white shea butter for us. We do not have an opinion one way or the other. Our customers almost always say that both colors of shea butter are unbelievably effective.

Nice and to the point. Thanks for the info.

I liked the video. I have used both colors of the shea butter. I haven't noticed anything different from one to the other. They smell EXACTLY the same and behaves in the same matter of melting when you rub it in. Whether it's African butter, shea butter or whatever it's still effective in doing what it's supposed to do.

Love the shea butter, both white and yellow are glorious. I use both! LOL! For example, I used yellow last night but this morning I used white, Glory to God, lol.

@blackindian81

You are wrong. I buy both white and yellow shea butter from "back to africa dot com" and both are real shea. They both have the same nutty scent except the yellow has a stronger scent. The texture is the same and they both feel amazing on the skin. There are a lot of people selling knock off shea laced with other things. Buy both white and yellow shea butter from a reputable mechant then come to a conclusion.

To clarify further, Kpangnan butter is usually bright yellow. There are some shea butters that have a slight yellow tinge but, they are Grade B shea butter and have other butters or root powders added to them in processing. They are not Grade A, unrefined shea butter.

@daniellejudithjj The color of unrefined shea butter is not pure white but, more of an off white to beige. If you shea butter is pure white, it is ultra refined and if it is yellow, it is kpangnan butter, also known as "African butter" and is not the same as shea, though it does have similar beneficial properties.

[NovaStarr]

Yellow "shea butter" is more often than not Kpangnan Butter, from the African Butter tree. While it has similar benefits to shea butter, it is NOT shea butter. True, unrefined shea butter is off-white to beige, NOT white. Any shea butter that is pure white is ultra-refined. You should watch DuchessGabrielle to start your research as she really breaks down the differences. Your customers deserve to know the difference.

@daniellejudithjj ooops I meant shea butter from camden grey is unrefined. I bought numerous butters. can't wait to make my new concoction for hair and body. I don't know & will probably never know what is real, fake or half real, but what I do know is someone is laughing all the way to the bank and it isn't the laborers.....

I tried to post part 2 but it keeps reading as an error. will try again

[daniellejudithjj]

@cubbz5 The more articles I read, the more confused I get. got my product yesterday. it is shealoe (50%shea butter&50% aloevera) from a very reputable company(camden grey) The color is off white. supposedly it is refined. I also just read an article that said it should look beige& Nigeria, not Ghana had the best. I have never seen anything with Nigeria's name on it. the only thing I see in common with these two countries is that they both are in West Africa, so does it really....part 1

[cubbz5]

@daniellejudithjj yeah trust me the yellow is better and feels better its very smooth stick with it
