Body: warm a small amount between your palms and massage into clean, slightly damp skin.

Hands, feet and elbows: apply generously to dry areas.
DIY: whip with coconut, olive or jojoba oil for your own body butter.
Size & weight note
Shea butter is a natural product that is packed by hand. Sizes refer to the approximate net weight of the product. Natural shea butter varies in density and can settle, soften or firm up with temperature changes, so the fill level and exact weight may vary slightly from container to container. This is normal and does not affect quality.
Frequently asked questions
What does raw shea butter smell like?
Unrefined shea butter has a natural, nutty, slightly smoky scent. This is a sign it hasn't been heavily processed.
Why is my shea butter grainy?
Temperature changes can make natural shea butter grainy. It melts smoothly on your skin and works just the same.
Why doesn't the tub look completely full?
Shea butter is sold by approximate weight, not volume. Natural butter can settle or shrink slightly.

I knew this from the Caribbean when I left the country. It's the number one season in the Caribbean I fell in love with the seasoning it's good on everything I will continue to use that only
Not sure but I wanted to try the product because I heard good reviews from other people, but I’ve never bought from this actual store and it made me break out in hives.
I bought this in Ghana 6 years ago, and was devastated that I couldn't find it anywhere in the US. Its great that I found a site that holds it. Its extremely moisturizing and silky, it makes my skin feel and smell fantastic. It has a strong coco butter scent, but it isn't pure coco butter. So if you're looking for that, this isn't the product for you. Its like a coco butter lotion.
My order arrived on time and was surprisingly well packaged. I was worried because I’ve ordered from other African sellers online, and my packages have arrived broken due to poor packaging or without tracking updates. I used this order as a test, and I’ll definitely be ordering more from Yado soon.
These African coconut chin chin are absolutely delicious! The perfect balance of sweetness and coconut flavor with an amazing crunch.
I can’t stop eating these! Crispy, flavorful, and packed with just the right amount of coconut. 😋
