The Shea Butter Breakdown: Raw vs. Refined—What Your Skin Really Needs! 🧴✨

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:09:54 +0000

Hey y'all! 🖤 Welcome back to my channel! 🥰
​Ever look at two different jars of shea butter and wonder why one looks like a smooth, white lotion while the other is a rich, earthy block? Today, I’m putting them head-to-head in the ultimate skincare showdown: Raw vs. Refined Shea Butter! Let’s break down exactly what each one brings to your self-care routine.
​✨ The Breakdown:
​Raw Shea Butter: Straight from nature, unprocessed, and unextracted. It keeps 100% of its natural vitamins A & E, plus deeply conditioning fatty acids. It features a distinct, authentic earthy aroma and a textured feel that melts into a rich oil the moment it touches the warmth of your skin.
​Refined Shea Butter: This goes through a filtering process to remove the natural scent and color. The result is a sleek, stark white, completely odorless butter with a silky-smooth texture.
​👑 The Best of Both Worlds
​If you want pure, unadulterated power and love an authentic vibe, raw is incredible. But if you're looking for a smooth canvas that blends beautifully with premium natural oils and custom fragrances, refined takes the crown!
​That is exactly why I get creative in my workshop. For the Gee's Scentis LLC body care line, I custom pack our whipped body butters with nourishing unrefined shea butter alongside premium natural oils. You get all the deep, long-lasting hydration without any of that heavy, greasy residue! 🌿🧴✨
