Shea butter uses and benefits, organic Shea butter uses, Shea butter uses for hair, raw Shea butter uses, Shea butter uses in cosmetics, Shea butter uses natural hair, Shea butter uses healing, shea butter uses for skin and more.
I'm west African and have been using this my whole life (before it was a fad). Shea Butter is shea butter. As long as there are no serious chemicals in it, IT WILL WORK. Don't kill yourselves over the color people. Yellow is stronger in smell, that's it. You don't like it, add essential oils, THE END, have a good day
Exactly! It's shea butter. It's amazing and ivory and yellow will do. She literally explained everything so well. Love her products
I love the smell and the yellow one is my favorite. I used it on a white baby's diaper rash healed super fast. I only use African shea butter on my skin and hair no more store bought gels or lotions for me.😁
donosp4evr I agree with you, after watching the video on how they make it in Ghana, I use the Ivory and get super results on my hair and skin. It has no chemicals, and I buy it at Whole Foods.

@@sarahmcgee6269 did it make your hair grow because my sister bought it and i look at what it does so im rubbing it in my hair now for hair growth. Did it work for you??
Everything is so good about Africa... it's just mesmerizing
mrinalini devi so nice you said that, thank you
I have a friend from Africa and her family makes and sell the shea butter. I've watched them make it and they put no chemicals in it. yes it is originally white but they mix a tea bark which is grind down and it turns it yello. I've watched it, so there are no chemicals in it. you just have to be careful who you purchase it from.
Can you please tell me the off white or yellow shea butter to buy?
😇
livewithpurpose N2N what country? Because Africa is a whole continent.
I have shea butter being made and it's white. It doesn't turn yellow until they add a root into it
Note it’s not pure white, but an off white! Pure white is bleached most likely.
You have a beautiful voice. Thank you for the informative video!

i ordered the yellow one and my skin look soooooooo good. its even, my acne scars are gone and it got rid of my back acne. thank you guys so much
Did have them add other ingredients to the shea butter or no?
No I use it how it is. I just rub it together so that it can become soft
Did it make your skin lighter? I heard that's one of the benefits, but I don't want to get lighter.
+The Symbol no it doesn't make your skin light but your skin will be even and it will have a glowing look. I'm dark brown and after the shea butter use I'm still dark brown lol. my skin is now even and smoother not lighter
Lol thanks. Now I don't have to waste those two small containers of the yellow one that I bought 6 weeks ago. Lol *****
I use the yellow on my hair and skin and I like it a lot! My hair is very moisturized when I use it, and my skin as well
Jannah Williams i want to order the yellow and Ivory one but i am kind of skeptical about it if it's organic are not
Jannah Williams do you use it by itself?
It's too heavy and greasy for thin long light hair. It's Amazing on all areas of skin. Best moisturizer I know and nothing comes close (I hate that "hand cream" chemical smell... besides the skin dries back out and cracks as usual in no time whilst smelling of that terrible smell)
Shea butter and African black soap will have you looking like royalty😁
@Ugly me😂 Yeah and it really does work Here's my process
Step 1: lather face with African black soap
Step2: Let the soap sit on you skin for a minute or 2
Step3: Wash black soap off face with warm water and hands( the warm water opens your pores)
Step4: Wash face with cold water( closes your pores after you clean them out)
Step5: Rub Shea butter in the palm of your hands and apply it to your face. Good luck
Don't Pet Entertainment i also use witch hazel and i wanna use witch hazel with the black soap and the shea butter but i think that if i apply the hazel after i put shea butter it’ll wipe it off so should i do the african soap and shea butter at night and do the witch hazel in the morning? or do the opposite
@@ava7623 I think you should rinse off face put the soap,then witcg hazel,then the shea butter(go on Google first and research a lot of stuff like can I moisturize my skin after witch hazel or clensing my face
@@ava7623 I do something similar but I don't use witch hazel I use water cleanser(kinda wanted witch hazel but the water cleanser is really good)
Princess Dede tv ok ty
I have eczema and Shea butter is a miracle!!!!
Hey, Amanda! I'm glad to hear that it's been working for you. ^^ Where did you buy your shea butter? Thank you for your attention. (:
Yes ! My eczema flairs up so bad, but when I use this it immediately takes the itching away and calms my skin all day long. I'm definitely a believer and I got mine from an African man at the French Market in New Orleans. Best purchase ever! I'm going to start using it on my scalp as well.
i use the yellow raw shea butter, its so good for my hair! its really thick and preserves for a long time. It locks in a lot of moisture in my hair and grows my hair a lot when included into my natural hair routine.
Do you think it would work in fine hair?
I just bought the yellow one for my daughter skin she's 1 years old an she has eczema an already I'm seeing improvements I bought the black soap to go with it
That's awesome, how did your daughter's skin like the soap!?
What is black soap? Did not hear that....am from india
Is the yellow Shea butter greasy
@@kabanarizetsu277 Nope! It’s really creamy
The soap might be a bit strong for a baby
You have such a calming, peaceful voice! If you do podcasts, direct me where! 👂🏾🌍💕
i find Shea Butter good. i have 4 c hair and use this every night on my hair ends. i massage my nails with it and hands and feet after shower, leaves beautiful hair, nails and skin. for me it works. its a great lip moisture too
laila kassem That’s great. Thanks for the insight ;).
I live in Tamale Ghana and I also export shea butter. The white shea butter here is all natural. No chemicals. It's all in the nuts and the processing. That's it.
the yellow one is doing AMAZING on my skin and dark spots!
When I tell you the yellow has made my skin and hair so POPPIN, I’m done with other products
Did you order from her site
Where did you buy your shea butter from plz ?
@@jamiesonreynolds3430 No but you can find some at your local beauty supply store. That’s usually where I get mine
@@mahoganysmith3698 I usually get mine from a local beauty supply store. You can head to any one and they should sell some
I'm from the UK and the only place I could find this was from Amazon, and I just ordered it. I made sure I got the yellow one. Really excited to try it, the benefits sounds fantastic :)
as an African, this is my first time of seeing that dark yellow Shea butter. I think palm oil was added to it to give it colour. the other light yellow is OK.
Yup! Palm oil is added to the Shea butter
No it’s not the dark yellow is 100% natural Shea butter
The white Shea butter is NATURAL. I’ve seen it made.
i love this stuff. lord bless africa. love yous.
This stuff is amazing! I have using it on my feet and I just got a pedicure and there was no dead skin to remove. For me that is unreal as my feet have tons of dead skin. It got rid of an old insect bite scar on my cheek. That was a pleasant surprise. It purged my pores of all the “gunk” like the dots in the pores on my nose are no longer there. This stuff is FABULOUS!
i got both yellow color and white my husband brought for me from America both are good but i like most the white one it smell more natural and i'm using also their black soap and it's really good for the skin..
Will the ivory shea butter lighten my acne scars and even my skintone?
yellow is the real thing. They say the darker the color the more natural, (pure,UNrefined, etc) it is.

Untrue, yellow has something added to it. True shea butter is ivory.
Michaela Lynn Between Ivory, and Yellow. I should actually have Ivory, because I have really light skin. I'm a boy, but I have been looking for real shea butter for a while, and yellow is real, but not exactly.
I recommend Baraka Shea butter. It truly is pure and organic. Nothing added and the natural color is ivory to a butter color.
The white shea butter grew my hair out so long...
How did you use it? I have no idea how to use shea butter besides sealing my ends. I always see Shea Butter mixes on youtube
Sharita Wright 😇
Hey Sharita, I use it too and I put a little peppermint oil (please just a little it's very strong) and mixed it together and oil my scalp at night, tie a satin cap on (two caps) and that's it. I do wet my hair to seal it in and bam I am good to go. I have to oil my hair every other night so it won't dry out and start breaking off. I hope this helps!! Be blessed!
Very informative video, thank you. However, it was hard to hear and I had my volume turned all the way up.
What is the difference between African Naturals shea butters and the ones that you buy at the hair supply stores? They have the same yellow labels on them and say the same thing on the containers.
Hello, I hope you have found your answer. If not, yellow label is not their brand. Simply used as an example. It's a common one.
Yellow is the best one to use, in my opinion it's what I use. The nutty scent can be toned down by using an essential oil, ie..lavender oil. Are you all in St.Louis?
lennie8 Yes at 4511 S. Kingshighway, Blvd. 63109. #314-768-0710, thank you.
+African Naturals If that's true why did the Ivory have grade A on it
@@AfricanNaturalsStLouis I need and am in Malaysia can you deliver for me please??
I use it at night so I don't worry with the scent at all, I like it tho
Been using this for 22yrs the best
The pale one just doesn’t have certain herbs in it. The pale one is the rawest one. I made shea butter in Ghana with my grandma all the time....both are good.
Hello, would you recommend the beige or yellow for bright skin tone?
So the ivory is best if u don't want nothing added
The colour with Shea butter. Isn’t always bad. Unless it’s pure white. In some African countries. They will add healing herbs to the Shea butter which makes it yellow. If it’s very bright yellow orange. Then red palm oil was added. Also fell the shea butter. Real shea butter as a weight to it. It should melt with easy with hands. Also really Shea butter as a nutty smell. It’s great for hair and skin. Some African countries cook with Shea butter. But a different type of Shea butter.
Wonderful!! I’ve been looking for good shea butter in Brazil but it’s been hard to find!
Phew. Finally found an authentic seller.
So I have a bit of uneven skin tone from previous acne. I also have mild scarring. which butter would you recommend? By the way, your voice was super sweet in the video! very calming
So it really does unclog your nose? in trying that now
You have a great calming voice. Thank you for sharing the info. I'm learning how to make a new product for or farmers market store.
I hear the ivory is the actual Shea Butter and the Yellow one and ivory come from same Shea nut tree but they use the root from the borututu tree thus making it yellow and I heard the ivory absorbs faster making it good for your skin but takes awhile to melt down unlike the yellow and the yellow melt down easier but don’t absorb quick but the yellow has vitamin e f etc too and many properties, but they’re both are great tho
Thanks so much for the great information, The green beauty channel sent me here. Have a great summer
I was waiting for you to show us the consistency 🙌😩 Maybe put a spoon inside to see how hard or soft the shea butter is
Didn't know yall had recipes . This is the brand my local beauty supply uses and i really love it. I will definitely look into the recipes and the ivory Shea butter, I usually use the yellow would like to look into different things.
Love the explanation of the color! I've hunted on the net and this is by far the clearest and most knowledgeable description I've run into. Can you comment on the grittiness? Is unrefined shea gritty or smooth? Thanks!
Nice video! I always buy the yellow one. It's good to know that the yellow is a real shea butter, unlike what most people claim.
I just bought it in Saudi Arabia I'm staying here for a moment I think they ordered from you guys coz the packaging it's exactly the same I bought the yellow one its sooooo good my skin and hair love it
New subscriber and am 7 years late but I am very interested to get some yellow Shea butter becuz I am thinking to mix it with vitamin e oil and tumeric oil and use it to lotion the body and African black soap to bathe with ,so what u think ,do u have any suggestions?
Is it more beneficial to whip the shea butter? I've always just rubbed it between my hands to melt it and applied it directly to my face. I want to get all the benefits of shea butter. Would recommend whipping it before use?
Jane Smith I doubt it. either way you apply it won't effect its benefits.
Is the yellow Shea butter mixed with borututu herb ? If so does it make the butter more superior ? Pls help 😀 thank you GOD bless 🙏🩸🤍🥰
Yes it is. It makes the butter have a stronger scent and a golden sheen
I didn't know half of this information. Thanks sis
Do you have shea with kpangnan? I'm not really interested in the borotutu.
i have the high yellow one, and it turns white after some time......I need answers.
it is said that nothing is added to the white one, its not bleached, and the yellow one, something is added to give it that colour
Deborah Oluwabukola That's the same thing I heard
Deborah Oluwabukola the yellow one has tumeric. The white is said to be the original color
Deborah Oluwabukola the yellow as a type of bark i forgot what it is called is why it is yellow some makers say because it's because customers like the yellow but other makers say it because it has better health benefits for the skin
Deborah Oluwabukola you’re right. Nothing is added to the white. My family makes it.
You see the girl is misinformed I have a feeling? lol i'm a ask Dr.Phil or something? lmao
I like your presentation. I've done some research & watched some videos on how the Shae Butter is made in Africa, from the Shae tree/nut. Now because my wife, my sons and myself love the hair we're in, I'll be going to your website to get more details on how to order.
Thank you for your honest creations...
Be Blessed & also Be a Blessing to others...
#WisdomwithWashington
which of these would you suggest for hair butters? what's the difference in the content other than the root that gives the color? Which is Burkina Faso Shea and which is West African? any difference in their properties?
Rolanda Zanders www.ishopnaturals.com/100-pure-raw-unrefined-shea-butter-grade-a-1-lb-from-the-nut-of-burkina-faso-shea-tree/african-naturals/
Thanks. so the Yellow shea that's sold in most hair supply stores is which type? they only say from Ghana... Is this okay, or comparable to the Ivory? I've been looking at many suppliers and some are so expensive and i'm trying to figure out why other than supply and demand. if i am to buy the shea from a dealer i want to ensure that i know what i am getting and the differences.
so can you use yellow shea butter on your hair? and which one work better on your hair?
Okay well I'm Latina , and I received my shea butter in the mail yesterday and today I just used it i ordered from you guys .I've seen a lot of youtube video's and I guess all ethnicity use it and I decided to give it shot . I blended it with coconut oil olive oil , tea tree oil ,and grape seed oil .
I massaged it into my scalp and hair . Left it on for 2 hours or so . I hated the smell , it horrible . After the two hours I showered and let my hair air dry . I loved the way it left my hair . But I can't stand the smell . I guess if anyone has any tip please comment
***** thank you ill try it
you are Latina? don't look like it. from what part? shea butter is good.
***** Yes ma'am I'm Latina . I'm always look to try new hair products and so far with the shea butter I'm not too crazy about the smell . Which is a big issue for me . I've used it's about 3 times or so . I've been trying to get my hair healthy again . Which I've been doing since January of this year my hair is much healthier . I used coconut oil . African jamican castor oil , eggs , shea butter, avocado, redken extreme deep conditioning mask , macadamia professional ultra rich moisture masque, amica deep conditioner , bioten . I don't apply all at the same time . I may do a egg and avocado and coconut oil hair mask one week , and next week I do something else . My hair has grown about 5 inches and it's shinny and healthier looking. It's a combination I guess ,and a big difference also would be that I don't wash my hair every day. I wash it every other day bc also the water strips my hair of natural oils and the chlorine in the water also damages hair
+dori Villarreal ok what kind of Latin are you I'm latina aka aboriginal Latin.
***** Hispanic or Latino people as being those who trace their origin or descent to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central and South America, and other Spanish cultures. I myself am Mexican American .
Do you have the recipe book on your website so that I can see what else I can add to my shea butter?
Hi, I went on your website to look for the yellow Shea butter I am pregnant and will soon (most likely) start getting stretch marks. Do you still sell that kind or not anymore? I will buy the ivory if not.
So does the yellow Shea butter darken or, as u said, bronze up the skin tone? I just don't want the oil to be changing my skin color. Can u please answer?
You said the yellow one evens out skin tone, does the ivory one even out skin tone too?
First add shea butter to your face and blend all even on to your face then add sandlewood essential oil and lemon essential oil and ginger essential oil few drops of them all and then do gu_sha (scraping the skin with a crystal fin) to bring the blood to surface which Will create fresh collagen and feed the face of all them beutiful nutrients from the oils,after gu_sha scraping then slightly massge skin and leave on for about half hr to 45 mins then wash off, do this 2/3 times a week and you'll stay youthful plus this Will revitalise the skin putting all the elasticity back but you must also add collogen or gelatin in to your diet to feed skin.
@@naskhan9222sounds like recipe for disaster
I have the same as the yellow one... I bought it on ebay, same label anyway. I was curious why it was yellow. It sounds like I should have bought the lighter one. I'm using it for dry skin/eczema
My sister bought me the yellow Shea butter.Will this help with pink spots on the back of my scalp?I previously had sores on the back of my head from razor bumps,the razor bumps turned into keloids and the keloids is mostly healed and now I am left with skin discoloration on the back of my scalp.
Can we mix yellow and ivory together? is yellow shea butter obvious or lightly visible on white skin?
~Thank you coz I'm tired of funding the Koreans. I think theirs is counterfeited, anyway. It SAYS Grade A, unrefined but I'm getting this grit and dirtiness in mine.
The grit may be that it's not shea but nut butter of a different tree
Should i buy the ivory or yellow one? I want it so it can fade away my acne scars but I'm very white so I don't know?
esmeralda V. Yellow will not stain your skin
crissy 😂😂😂😂
I have a White skin , and i have the beige shea butter at home but i dont know how to use it ? And is she good for hear !?
Hi, I have melasma. Does shea butter help to cure my melasma. Thanks and have a good day.
Hi I have white skin, if i slather the ivory all over me and go in the sun will it help me tan? And how well? Thanks xx
The ivory Shae butter is the best. The yellow one is dyed.
How much is shipping to Canada? Or can you refer somewhere for me to buy it? great video!!
Clores beauty supply store. Are you in Ontario?
I got the yellow one So basically the yellow is better because it's extra healing because of the borotutu tree right?!
On your site, you have two options. Are they both the same? One option is Raw unrefined, unfiltered. The other option is Raw organic, fair trade, unrefined, unfiltered. little confusion on my behalf. I'm not sure what is the best option for the best product.
You whispered the entire video...I don't know if you were filming in secret or what...I could not hear that with the volume turned on max
Yes, she was filming in secret. If that man who answered the phone caught her. She would've been beaten. Its in the description.
Angel Star You're a clown. lol
hahahhahahahaha lol
+REAL TALK 100 I love this comment
Then you need a hearing aid.
I have the same tub it says african shea butter and it says product of Ghana its had the same exact words on the package..... I found it in my beauty supply store I hope I have the real deal its yellow
I just picked up a new jar of Shea butter.. But it’s not soft at all! First time this has happened.. how do I soften? Not melt..
Thanks for good video on what many are yet to know. Wealth not stashed but not so easily noticed by our people.
I'm half Hispanic and half black, my hair is long and slightly wavy, not too thick, on the finer side, I'm not sure what my hair type is, when wet it gets really wavy though, I want to use shea butter for the first time which color should I use and is it anything like coconut oil in consistency, will it melt on contact with hands? Or will I have to heat it up every time? Is it like a grease? I want something that can easily get into my hair like coconut oil does.
Can I use either one of these in my beard?
You stated that the yellow shea butter has added color and isnt good. So is there another way to determine if its pure raw shea butter? Because the butter you have looks yellowish. And I'm not sure if I have been using the good butter.
Do you know if “African Secret” Shea butter is good/authentic ? And why does Some Shea butter come molded & others are smooth like a pudding cup
Grade A shea butter is also used to cook with and as a food condiment
I got a container its the same in this video the yellow the problem is the container was broken and the butter is hard is it safe to use it like that or should I return it?
I love this video and I want to buy shea butter. I lived in Indonesia.
Can you ship it to Indonesia?
I've been using it on my skin but after I listened to your video I'm worried about it lightening my skin. I don't want to lighten my skin at all. Does it lighten skin?
No, it just evens out your skin tone and only lightens dark spots (which are essentially scar tissue) by helping your skin to heal itself. I scar/get dark spots easily so I frequently use it to bring my skin back to it's normal color but it does not make it lighter. You will remain the same color you have always been, your skin will just look smoother and healthier.
Bantu Nature no. But it's a natural spf
is this good for aging skin wrinkles
Do I need to refrigerator shea butter pls ans
How can I get a softer Shea butter. I've bought both and I use it on my hair with Chebe, black Castrol, vitamin E, and other essential oils.
Where can I find a softer Shea Butter in Georgia?
So from me hearing what you just said is the darker yellow one good for people with low magnesium for the skin
What’s the Shea that you can cook with? And thank you for this video I’ve been using this video to educate people the question is which one can you eat????
ROMLEXTV LTD the ivory one
Oupss i mean is it good for hair !? Thanks
Is the ivory shea butter supposed to have a waxy texture?
Hii.. So much information and you have a very sweet voice. I wanted to know if you ship to ontrio, Canada. Please let me know so that I can buy some.
She sounds so polite...
I meant to also add that there was no information given where you are located and if you have a website or any other kinds of ways that someone could order from you besides coming to your store and making an appointment.

Are we able to purchase the recipe book with the info on oils and butters?
I can't tell which one to buy on your website. I'm trying to buy the ivory Shea butter in the same packaging.
Would the 100% virgin nut shea nut butter be the equivalent of the ivory you show to the left?
Hi! I live in Morocco and I ve just bought Shea Butter from an African seller. is there any way to know the shea i bought is natural or fake? am looking forwards to answering my question. i will be very grateful. thnx in advance
