100% Natural Shea Butter has a rich, luxurious texture that penetrates deep to condition & moisturize every type of skin. As a natural derivative of the karite trees that grow in Western & Central Africa, Shea Butter is a wonderful emollient that's perfect for daily use. Can also be used as a scalp moisturizer. This jar contains a foil seal. Do not place this jar directly in microwave. Before microwaving scoop out desired amount & place in a microwave-safe container. Allow time to cool before applying. Gently apply as desired, paying close attention to dry or chapped areas, reapply as needed. This product will melt at high temperatures & become solid again when cool. This is natural & may affect the appearance, but will not harm the quality of the product. If hard, it can be softened by placing in a pan of hot water for 30 minutes or microwaved for a few seconds.
