Can I use raw Shea butter on my face?

Shea butter is great for hydrating most of your skin and is low on the comedogenic scale. However, raw  Shea butter is very thick and rich, and can make some people break out but everyone is different and we have customers who use it on their face with no issues. We, therefore, advice you to patch test for yourself to see if it suits your skin. Personally, I use it on dry patches of my face especially in winter or as a 10 minute face mask.

So,if you need a hit of hydration on your face, leave the Shea butter on for about 10mins and then use a warm flannel or micellar water to gently wipe away.
