Shea Butter can be used like Cocoa Butter or Lanolin for skin treatment. It has a richer texture and is more emollient than other moisturizers. Shea Butter can be used as a natural lipstick base, or as a softener in skin treatments.

Warnings: Caution for Microwaving: This jar contains a foil seal. Do not place this jar directly in microwave. Before microwaving, scoop out desired amount and place in a microwave safe container.

Disclaimers: Since NOW® Shea Butter is 100% pure and natural, it is normal for this product to become hard. If hard, it can be melted or softened by placing in a pan of hot water for 30 minutes or microwaved for a few seconds. This product will melt at high temperatures and become solid again when cool. This will not harm the quality of the product. Shake and freeze to restore to original condition.

I just bought NOW® Shea Butter, and it is very grainy and difficult to apply? Is this natural or is the product bad?
NOW® Shea Butter is a natural product that often settles after packaging. A grainy consistency is not uncommon - in fact, it's rather common! Simply microwave the container for a few seconds and then stir, or submerse in boiled water for a few seconds and stir to a smooth consistency.
