What Grade A unrefined actually means
Under the African regional standard for unrefined shea butter, Type 1 (Grade A) sets the tightest limits in the market. This is what we test for on every single batch.
Why Unrefined
Refining strips out the exact properties formulators buy shea butter for
Refined shea butter loses much of its natural vitamin content and unsaponifiable matter in processing. If your formulation needs shea butter’s actual skin conditioning properties, not just a neutral fat base, unrefined is the one to specify.
Why Every Batch, Not a Sample Once a Year
Handmade shea butter varies more than industrial batches, so we test more, not less
Instead of sampling occasionally like most suppliers, every batch we ship is tested for FFA, moisture, and peroxide value. You see the real number for what you are buying, not an annual average.

Questions buyers ask before requesting a quote
