Start with a Surprising Statistic
Did you know that global demand for shea butter in skincare has grown over 300% in the last decade—but only a small percentage of that is truly organic and unrefined?
With popularity comes compromise. Many products on the market use over-processed or diluted versions of this incredible ingredient, robbing it of its nourishing power and purity. At Kathy’s Creams & Things, we believe in doing things differently.
In this blog, we’ll explore what makes organic shea butter so powerful, how it benefits your skin, and why our commitment to unrefined, ethically sourced shea sets our products apart in the world of natural skincare.
What Is Organic Shea Butter?
Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree, rich in vitamins A, E, and essential fatty acids. But not all shea is created equal. Most commercial shea butter is refined through heat and chemicals, stripping away its natural nutrients.
Organic shea butter, on the other hand, is:
• Unrefined: No bleach, no hexane, no shortcuts.
• Ethically sourced: Supporting women-led cooperatives in West Africa.
• Nutrient-rich: Preserving natural anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
When we say chemical-free skincare, we mean it—from source to skin.
Why Shea Butter Works Wonders for Skin
Organic shea butter is nature’s multitasker. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, or sensitivity, shea butter supports skin from the inside out.
Key benefits include:
• Deep hydration without clogging pores
• Soothing relief for eczema, inflammation, or irritated skin
• Enhanced elasticity and reduced appearance of fine lines
• Natural protection against environmental stressors
That’s why you’ll find it at the heart of our natural skincare routine products like the Whipped Shea Butter Cream—soft, whipped, and always handmade.
What We Never Do with Our Shea Butter
At Kathy’s Creams, we refuse to compromise.
We never:
• Use refined or deodorized shea
• Add synthetic preservatives or fragrances
• Blend with low-grade fillers
Every jar of our Whipped Shea Butter is made in small batches, using raw, unrefined shea, sunflower oil, and a whole lot of love.

Why Purity Matters More Than Ever
In a world of greenwashing and misleading “natural” claims, purity is a radical act. We don’t just say our products are natural—we show you what’s inside. That’s our promise.
So next time you pick up a jar of shea butter, flip it over. Read the label. And if you’re looking for real, organic, handcrafted skincare, know that we’re here—still handmade, still caring for you.
