This Organic Shea Butter is from West Africa. It has a low melting point and is often called 'Soft Butter'. This is a great product for dry, chapped skin and a good base for any body balm. It contains high levels of antioxidants and vitamins A and E, both of which are well known skin healing vitamins. Our Pure Organic Shea Butter is natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable.
