Shea butter is produced from the SHEA TREE which grows mostly in arid /desert /dry landed area and this allows shea butter to suck as much moisture as it can,from the environment which makes the butter creamy and wax like in nature.
There are FOUR TYPES of Shea butter
The first one is the YELLOW SHEA BUTTER. from West Africa. Its not bright yellow it's usually PALE /FAINT YELLOW and what gives it it's yellow colour is that during extraction,is that the borotutu tree root is added for it's extra nutrients and benefits so a YELLOW Shea butter is considered original.
Another butter which is similar to the yellow Shea butter is AFRICAN KPANGNAN BUTTER gotten from the BUTTER TREE.It's usually found in Togo,Benin and Sierra Leone The only difference is that butter tree grows in tropical and rainy regions this gives the butter a hard and grainy texture and it's usually MUSTARD YELLOW in colour.It is known as RUVER BUTTER.It's beneficial, healthy and moisturizing to use for hair and skin even to eat but it's NOT Shea butter.
Another Shea butter from West Africa is the white Shea butter,it's not clear white or bright white It's more like beige or ivory in colour,in lay man's words it's OFF WHITE in colour and it's considered original too...
There's another Shea butter which is from EAST AFRICA in Northern Uganda and Sudan called the Shea nilotica which is softer than the West Africa Shea butter and it has less antioxidants,and more soft and more cream compared to West African Shea butter
The final type of Shea butter is the refined Shea butter... It's usually nice to use on hair and skin care but not good to eat cause it has only moisturizing properties and it has lost most of its nutritional value.This Shea butter is usually PURE WHITE in color.
