Like all natural fats and oils, e.g. cold-pressed olive oil, unrefined shea butter also has a natural scent of its own. This is a sign of quality and can vary slightly depending on the year and harvest. Basically, shea has a characteristic earthy, nutty, tart and slightly roasted smell (roasting of the nuts in one production step). The gentle production process that we follow preserves the natural color, fragrance and thus the valuable ingredients. This has many benefits for our skin. The fragrance can be beautifully integrated into the formulation of natural cosmetic recipes, depending on the percentage of shea butter in the recipe.
