This shea butter imparts the same moisturizing qualities as our Raw Shea Butter but, because it is cold processed, it is white and does not have the nutty smell of raw shea butter.  Cold processed indicates that it has been deodorized and de-colored but without the use of harsh chemicals.  This is a superior shea butter excellent for use in skin care products where you do not want the nutty smell of raw shea butter.
