What's the difference between your Gold and Ivory Shea?
At LIHA Beauty we offer two types of vegan raw Shea butter: Ivory and Gold. Both our Shea butters are unrefined. The difference in colour is attributed to the region in which the Shea butter was extracted and can also be based on the season and production methods. The same amazing skin health properties remain, regardless of the colour, however, depending on your personal usage of the butters you may prefer one over the other. Both are rich in Vitamins A and E and work wonders for multipurpose moisture.
Ivory Shea Butter, ethically sourced from Ghana, has a crumbly texture with a nutty vanilla scent and is lighter in consistency, making it perfect for all skin types.
Gold Shea Butter, sourced from Nigeria, has a waxy texture with a smoky, earthy smell from the roasting process. Our Gold Shea is commonly prefered by those who suffer from eczema and psoriasis and other skin conditions, providing more intense moisturisation and richness.
