Synopsis

Most shea butter guides were written by people who have never seen a shea nut. This one wasn't.

Unrefined shea butter is one of the most effective natural moisturizers on earth, but only if you know how to choose it, store it, and combine it. Buy the wrong grade, or blend it the wrong way, and you get a grainy, greasy, or short-lived product.

The Raw Shea Butter Handbook takes you from raw ingredient to finished formula, with the sourcing knowledge that comes from working directly with the West African cooperatives that produce it.

Inside this book:

• How shea butter is really made, graded, and stored
• The cold-pressed oils that match every skin type
• 40 step-by-step recipes for face, body, hair, lips, and baby care
• The safety essentials most DIY guides skip
• A troubleshooting guide for grainy, greasy, or spoiled batches

Whether you're making your first body butter or building a small natural-care line, this is the practical, no-fluff guide to doing it right.
