ACTUAL FACTS ABOUT SHEA BUTTER. THE DIFFERENCE IN COLOR.
The most desirable Shea butter is that which is unrefined. Yellow Shea will typically be raw when purchased and will have a potent odor with lots of impurities. Shea butter which is unrefined will usually be white colored which means it has been processed through a filter so the impurities have been removed.
HOW ELSE DOES WHITE SHEA BUTTER DIFFER FROM YELLOW?
Even White Shea butter that is heavily refined will retain many of its moisturizing characteristics, but its vitamins will be nonexistent. Shea in general is popular and appears in a variety of hair and skin merchandise. This is largely due to its nutrients. The differences between yellow and white Shea lie in how it’s produced. Thank you reading, this is all factual.
