i don't think so. tha ravel doesn't have any fair trade mark or any discriptions about it. it's just made organically i suppose.

Hi Bette, Thank you for your great question. Our ASBI Certified Premium Grade A Unrefined Shea Butter is 100% all natural, has passed high measures for safety, performance and shelf life and has the highest healing fraction and moisturizing fraction of any Shea Butter product or any natural skincare product available. Many people are unaware of this. As ASBI has communicated, it receives a "Gold Medal" in both healing and moisturizing and is for use on any skin type and on any skin on the body. Our current batch has actually been given the designation of 'Best Shea Butter In The World' by ASBI due to it's high test score during laboratory testing. All our batches score very high on the ASBI test and we make available our ASBI Grading Analysis for our batches upon request. That being said, our Shea Butter has it's greatest healing and moisturizing ability when simply used alone. By adding anything to pure Premium Grade A Shea Butter it may diminish some of the bioactive/healing properties, so we advise against doing that. For those customers of ours who are do-it-your-selfers and like to mix their Shea Butter with other things like Essential Oils, there is an ASBI approved safe and effective way to melt your Premium Grade A Shea Butter to preserve its bioactive/healing properties as best as possible (NOTE: do not heat in microwave.) We are happy to provide this to our customers upon request so that they may follow the instructions. Best results are typically seen within 4-6 week of regular use. Please stay in touch so that we may best serve you and enable you to have the best experience with our Premium Shea Butter. We'd love to be able to assist you with your unique situation as best we can. We want to make sure you are 100% happy with our product. Hopefully, this is helpful to you. Warmest regards, David Founder and President African Skin Solutions ASBI Certified Shea Technician

Thanks Regina! I wasn't planning on heating but that's good to know too! This looks like the only Shea butter certified by the American Shea Butter Institute. I hear there are a lot of low grade non medicinal Shea out there.

Btw, I do Not see where this is Organic Butter! It does say Natural, but that does Not mean Organic by a long shot..

As shipped, my Shea Butter came darker than pictured and it does have a hint of green. When melted, it is absolutely green, however when whipped, surprisingly it is cream in color. I also added equal amounts of coconut oil before whipping it - not sure if that helped in change the color. I may look for another seller, but I think this is acceptable quality.

Thanks for your interest in this item. Price will vary with availability, and are subject to change at all times. Shea Butter is more susceptible than most products to widely changing supply.

it says certified organic shea butter on the lid. I don't know for sure about the side label. This stuff is great. I recommend the lime/coconut. I am not easy to please I love it.

Yes, the company says it is. I was very impressed with the quality and after mixing it with the 100% shay butter it made up a great hand,face and body rub. Especially the feet. Hope this helps. Carroll

Hi, This is what the website states: ((Shea Terra Organics Powerful Indigenous Ingredients. Shea Terra Organics sources the most potent, organic and wild harvested ingredients from across Africa. This pristine environment, little tainted by modern pollution, grows some of the safest, unchanged botanical ingredients on earth. Unwilling to compromise, Shea Terra Organics uses whole herbs for its potent, synergistic benefits.)) I'm assuming it doesn't since it's supposed to be organic and the descriptions on their website, but I don't know for sure. Sorry about that. Hope it helps though!

I haven't used this product but I describe the shea butter smell as "earthy".

I just used 16oz shea to 8oz coconut oil and mixed it with my stand mixer. I got a several month supply out of that and still gave some away.

I checked on the packaging and there is nothing indicating fair trade (FINE), but the product itself is from South America (Mexico). For more information, you could check out the website HEALTHWORKSLLC.NET. The seeds appear to be great quality and we've enjoyed them.

That means the Shea butter you received is filthy and non filtered, unfortunately so many sellers who sell unacceptable quality product that we throw in the garbage and never dare to sell. you have the right to get the highest quality for you paid for.
