What is the difference between "yellow and white" shea butter?

The color of shea butter can vary depending on where the shea butter comes from and the nature of the shea nuts. Natural unrefined shea butter can also be slightly darker in color the fresher it is.

Unrefined shea butter has a beige/yellow color and smells natural, slightly nutty. The nutty scent subsides as soon as the skin has absorbed the product.

Refined shea butter is white and odorless. Refined shea butter, unlike unrefined shea butter, is instead treated, bleached and deodorized. This means that the desired vitamins and healing properties of the shea butter are deprived.

Is shea butter a comedogenic oil?

Vegetable oils are graded from a scale of 0-5 on how comedogenic the oils are. This means how prone the oil is to clogging pores and causing acne. Shea butter is graded at stage 0, which means that the shea butter not is prone to causing clogged pores, acne or oily skin.

The scale consists of the following gradations:

0 = Does not clog pores

1 = Low

2 = Mild

3 = Moderate

4 = Fairly high

5 = High
