This balm is an absolute lifesaver during colder weather. It melts beautifully between your palms and creates a rich, protective barrier that stays moisturised all day.

I love using this unrefined butter as a deeply hydrating overnight treatment. By morning, my rough heels and elbows feel completely softened. A little goes a very long way.

Great all-purpose skin remedy. I mainly use it to soothe dry, irritated skin patches and windburn, and it works brilliantly without any nasty synthetic additives.

My highly sensitive skin looks so much healthier since I started using this. It really helps calm dry itching, and knowing it is 100% pure and raw gives me total peace of mind.

LIHA Beauty Shea Butter (Gold) is a raw, unrefined body butter ethically sourced from Nigeria, designed to deeply nourish, protect, and restore dry or sensitive skin. Naturally rich in vitamins A and E, it delivers intense hydration that penetrates beyond the surface to soothe irritation, support the skin barrier, and improve overall skin health, leaving it soft, supple, and naturally glowing.

FAQs

What makes "Gold" shea butter different from regular shea butter?

The Gold Shea Butter is completely raw, organic, and unrefined, sourced from Ghana. Unlike refined white shea butter, it retains its natural golden hue and a subtle, earthy, nutty aroma. Because it hasn't been chemically stripped or bleached, it keeps all of its natural vitamins A, E, and F intact for maximum skin healing.

Is it safe for eczema, psoriasis, and highly sensitive skin?

Yes, absolutely. Because it is a single-ingredient, 100% natural product with zero synthetic perfumes, steroids, or preservatives, it is highly recommended for compromised skin barriers. It works brilliantly to calm dry itching, reduce redness, and soothe flare-ups without irritation.

Why is the texture hard, and how do I apply it?

Because it is completely raw and free from artificial emulsifiers, the butter solidifies at room temperature. Simply scoop a small amount out and rub it between your palms. Your natural body heat will instantly melt it into a rich, smooth oil that glides effortlessly onto the skin.

Can I use it on my face, body, and hair?

Yes, it is the ultimate multi-tasking beauty remedy. It works beautifully as an intensive body moisturiser, a hydrating face balm for dry skin types, a soothing lip treatment, or a nourishing balm to soften dry hair cuticles and split ends.

Will it clog my pores?

Raw shea butter has a comedogenic rating of 0 to 2, meaning it is highly unlikely to clog pores for most skin types. While it is incredibly rich and protective for dry or sensitive skin, if you are highly prone to cystic acne, we recommend using it primarily as a body, hand, and lip rescue balm.

Where is LIHA Shea Butter made and sourced?

Their organic shea butter is sustainably wildcrafted and processed by hand by traditional female-led trade co-operatives in West Africa. It is then proudly shipped over and hand-poured in small batches right here in their UK studio.

Does it have an expiry date?

Since it is a pure, unrefined plant butter with no added water or synthetic preservatives, it has a naturally long shelf life. For the best performance and vitamin potency, we recommend using it within 12 to 18 months of opening, and storing it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
