What is the difference between the old edition and new edition oils?
The original manufacturer of some of our oils raised their prices by a large amount recently but we were able to find oils that are the same or better quality from different manufacturers.
We added these same oils from the new manufacturer at lower prices, and kept the original higher priced oils also with the words “OLD EDITION” added to the title of the oil.
Some customers like the new editions better, and other people like the old edition oil most. The strength and quality is the same, but there may be subtle differences in the scent.
We offer both so that you can choose the one that is best for you.
Refined Shea butter can be used as a body lotion; its rich, smooth texture instantly softens skin and is great for people with sensitive skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema. Has a mild to nonexistent odor. M-180
Apply where needed on skin and hair. You can also add it to lotions, butters, soaps, and more.
The crude shea butter is extracted from the shea nut and then fully refined to result in White Shea Nut Butter with a mild to nonexistent odor. Shea nut butter extract is comprised of fatty acids such as oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid. With a melt point ranging from 89°F-113°F, Shea Butter – White is solid at room temperature.
Refined, or ultra refined shea butter, is extracted and processed with high heat and chemical solvents such as hexane. It is usually pure white in color and contains no odor. Though refined shea may contain some moisturizing properties, most all of other healing benefits found in the original butter may have been lost. M-180
Shea butter does not spoil, but some of its health benefits decrease after 18 months.
