Our shea butter is collected from the Karite tree in the savannah grasslands of West Arfica. It has an array of amazing healing properties stemming from its physical make up of vit. A, vit E, and cinnamic acid. It is a very soft butter and is considered to be of superior quality. It is pure white, to cream yellow, to off white. Our shea butter is manually refined to give it a super creamy, light consistency with minimal to no scent.
Platinum Skin Care is exceptionally pleased to be able to offer you this preferable variety of butter! It is unprocessed and does retain a slight aroma. It smells like an oil or fat (hence its high moisturization properties). We suggest a light fragrance is added. *We have several to choose from.
Our butter has been lab tested for its high vitamin A and cinnimic acid content as well as its low moisture content, all very important for a top grade shea butter. Our butter is of very consistent quality, creamy color, with a typical shea butter aroma.
It is used on all types of skin
- Moisturize severely dry skin Shea butter leaves skin supple and soft. It is quickly replacing cocoa butter for the use of stretch mark prevention. Shea butter is used by massage therapists and spas due to its grease-less after feel and effective softening results. In fact, the usage of Shea butter to replace other oils is growing as more and more therapists discover Shea butter. Shea butter is excellent for use on babies and children. Shea butter naturally softens their skin and protects it against elements.
- We recommend the unscented version for use on babies and children.
- Heal and soothe irritated, itchy skin. Shea butter is anti-inflammatory. It increases the healing of wounds and improves scars. It is used to heal eczema, burns, rashes, severely dry skin and to lessen the irritation of psoriasis. Soothes skin after shaving or waxing.
- Skin Protection Damage from sun produces free radicals which in turn increases the rate at which skin ages and can even become cancerous. To avoid damage skin needs year round protection- especially with the decreased ozone layer. Shea butter contains natural UV sun protection. Daily usage of Shea butter on the face and body drastically reduces sun exposure- slowing down the rate of aging due to external factors, as well as acts as a natural mantle to protect against elements such as cigarette smoke, smog and chemical pollutants in the air.
- Purchasing Shea Butter Shea butter can be naturally or chemically extracted using the chemical hexane. Hexane alters the affect and purity of Shea butter. Look for Shea butter that has been naturally extracted. As well, Shea butter is often times bleached and deodorized with the use of chemicals. Our Shea butter that has been naturally cleaned and deodorized by our African Shea Butter source.

Best moisturizer ever
This is hands down the best moisturizer for dry itchy skin. I put it on and I can feel it all day long, no need to keep reapplying. I gave it 4 stars but that is not because the product doesn't work. The product is hard almost like a cold coconut oil consistency so I need to use a mini spatula I received with a different face cream to scrape it out of the jar and then warm it up with my hands before applying. My suggestion would be to include a tool like this with the product because you really can't get it out any other way. I ordered the warm sugar scent and it was very light. I will request it be scented heavier the next time because I will be ordering this product again when I run out. ***Platinum comment*** You will find that the natural consistency of Shea is usually quite firm in the winter months and a bit softer in the summer months. It liquefies as soon as you rub your hands together. Yes, lol, I believe if you have long nails the scooping may not work as well. ;D-Joanne (Red bank, NJ) 12/13/2012 10:21 AM
Allergy sufferers, lightly scented is a bit of an understatement.
I have used unscented shea butter in the past and, it doesn't smell great. Not bad, just not great. I purchased the cucumber melon, and while wonderfuly hydrating, the stuffy nose and watery eyes, is just not worth it. **[[[ Platinum Comment ]]]** Generally speaking the Pure Shea butter has a very light nutty scent which goes away after application. If you want the product scented with a fragrance super lightly, please just let us know in the info box on our PVSB page. We will do whatever we can to make the product work for you.-VN (Memphis, TN) 4/12/2011 11:44 AM
The Best for Winter-Chapped Lips and Hands
Love this stuff for chapped lips as it doesn't wear off fast and is a good moisturizing base under lipstick. It is thick but warms up in your hands when applied - great for dry heels and protects against chapping of hands in winter. I got the Bitter Orange and Orchid scent which DOES smell like Orange Pekoe tea - pleasing, mild scent. ( I wish you could get it in a coconut-vanilla or pineapple scent) The large jar is well worth the price, especially when on sale. **Platinum comment*** Yes, we have a great Warm Vanilla Sugar that smells heavenly! We will try to get in a pineapple scent.-CA (MI) 11/27/2010 4:09 PM
