Extraction Process of Unrefined Shea Butter
Unrefined Shea Butter, will usually be yellow in color, as its traditional extraction method is simple. The production of Raw or Unrefined Shea Butter involves first cracking, then grilling, then pounding the harvested Shea nuts. The ground nuts are boiled until the butter begins to float to the surface, off of which it is skimmed. It is then placed into containers to cool down. In processes like this one without meticulous filtering, the resultant Shea may contain brownish specks.
