The key to quality shea butter is the process that begins from the
moment the shea nut is harvested until the shea butter is extracted from
the nut. If the process is compromised, the resulting shea butter will
not meet the quality standards.
The features of good quality Shea butter are
- Low Free Fatty Acids (FFA)
- Low Moisture Content
- Low impurities
- Beige to Yellow color
- No rancid odors
