When it comes to shea butter, there are two main types: refined and unrefined. Both types have their own unique set of benefits, but there are also some key differences between the two. Here are the five main differences between refined and unrefined shea butter:

1. Scent


Unrefined shea butter has a stronger scent because it is less processed than refined shea butter. The refining process removes some of the natural compounds that give shea butter its characteristic smell.

2. Concentration of vitamins and minerals

Unrefined shea butter contains more vitamins and minerals than refined shea butter. It is also less processed and has a higher concentration of fatty acids. This makes unrefined shea butter more beneficial for the skin and hair and it is also more expensive than refined shea butter.

3. Amount of antioxidants

Unrefined shea butter has a higher concentration of antioxidants than refined shea butter. This is due to the fact that the refining process removes some of the natural antioxidants present in the butter.

4. Moisturizing properties

Unrefined shea butter is more effective at moisturizing and protecting the skin than refined shea butter because it contains more of the natural fatty acids and vitamins that are beneficial for the skin. Refined shea butter has had some of these nutrients removed during the refining process, so it is not as effective at moisturizing and protecting the skin.

5. Price

Unrefined shea butter is more expensive than refined shea butter. This is because unrefined shea butter is made from pure, natural shea nuts, while refined shea butter is made from a blend of shea nuts and other oils. Unrefined shea butter is also usually more potent, meaning that it contains more of the natural nutrients and vitamins that are found in shea nuts.
