Have you experienced true Shea?
Unrefined shea butter is the butter extracted from the shea nut, which is only grown in Western Africa. Our shea butter is unrefined, organic, and raw, this means that it hasn't undergone any chemical refining process or extraction.
What scent does unrefined shea butter have?
Unrefined, natural shea butter has a unique scent that is only found in non-deodorised shea butter. Again, due to the pure and natural nature of shea butter, the scent varies from batch to batch. Just as no two shea nuts are alike, each pot of shea butter will be different. As always with natural and unrefined products, we just have to accept what Mother Earth gives us! The scent of shea butter is best described as nutty, fruity, or smoky, and the fresher the shea butter is, the stronger the scent. Some people find the scent of shea butter overpowering, however, this does not affect the quality and benefits of pure shea.
So why choose organic, unrefined shea butter?
Organic, unrefined shea butter is shea butter at its most natural. When shea butter is refined, the vitamins and minerals that are present in the shea butter are degraded by the heat and chemicals used in the process. Only the best, organic shea nuts are used to create our unrefined shea butter, and this means that they haven't been sprayed with harmful pesticides.

What is Face Floss?
Face Floss is our range of waterless moisturisers designed to support and maintain healthier-looking skin. They're super concentrated, so only a tiny amount is needed. Each Face Floss variant packs its own set of nourishing ingredients. For the best results, try our bundles and enjoy the full range of benefits.
-
How do I use Face Floss?
Step 1 - Start with a freshly washed face by using a warm flannel to gently wash away any dirt or impurities
Step 2 - Face Floss can be used alongside your normal skincare routine. If you use cleansers and toners, apply these beforehand to ensure your skin is properly prepared and ready to absorb all the goodness
Step 3 - Apply as you would a regular moisturiser, in circular motions, using clean and dry hands. Begin with a half pea-sized amount and massage into the face, feeling the floss melt into the skin
Step 4 - Allow 10-15 minutes to absorb before applying any other products. If it hasn't absorbed, consider waiting an additional 15 minutes or adjusting the amount used in your next application. Keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique and may absorb products at varying rates
Step 5 - Apply as and when needed, we recommend at least once a day. Keep in mind that individual experiences may vary, and although many customers see benefits within a short time, it can take up to three months to see full results -
How do I store your products?
The products made from natural butters and oils can degrade under certain conditions. We recommend storing them at room temperature in a cool, dark place. Ensure you keep them away from direct sunlight and heat, as exposure can cause melting. These products contain no preservatives, it's important to keep them away from water and always use clean, dry hands or an applicator
-
What do the products smell like?
Many products are highly refined and artificially fragranced. We focus on keeping our ingredients as naturally sourced and close to nature as possible. This means they can have a unique, and sometimes earthy scent. We only use small quantities of delicate essential oils as to avoid any irritation
-
How long does one Face Floss last?
It varies! Some our customers have reported that one container can last them up to four months, while others who use it more generously find that it lasts around one month. Ultimately, it's all about how much you choose to use
