Not real Shea Butter
I was born and raised in Ghana. I have personally with my own hands picked Karite Fruit from a shea tree and ground it into butter. I have never seen Shea butter in a yellowish gold color until I came into the United States. Shea butter is usually an off white, beige color. The texture is smooth and should melt directly if rubbed in your fingertips. This stuff has more of the texture of coco butter with yellow food coloring. The best Shea Butter I have found since I cant get it shipped from home is on CoastalScents.com. Its the closest thing to what I remember from home.
