What is the color of the shea butter in person? Is it orangey?

It's exactly the color that's pictured (on my monitor, anyway). The cocoa butter is also exactly as pictured.

No, it doesn't turn me orange, and is quite a natural looking medium honey shade. (I have the natural bronzer one) it does have some shimmer, but I'd describe it as more of a "glow"...? I love it.

It is orange. I love it because it brings some fun and isn't so adult like.

I just received mine and it is almost an orange color. Definitely not the clear liquid it was last time I ordered it.

It says that it is, but I don't know how you can tell. I mean it's a big hunk of shea butter that comes in a plastic bag. And you have rub it between you hands for a while to even use it.

Mine was natural....beautiful color. Definitely not orange unless it was from another lot.

it's a nice combination of both colors - I have it in my office and an orange sofa under it. so I'd say it's more orange. It's beautiful and I enjoy it immensely. peaceful.

The color is white but perhaps there is a very faint touch of pink--it might just be the lighting in my room. Basically white.It's very creamy but also overly perfumed, too much for me.

It is orange. Not bright, but orange. I have been using this soap for about thirty years now. Don't ever use anything else

I would say orange. It is just like the picture. Peaceful looking. I love it. Never turn it off.

yes, the coloration in shea butter can vary a few shades and it is still perfectly fine.that kind of thing happens with raw products that haven't been melted down and mixed.

The color of unrefined Shea Butter depends on the Shea Nut itself. The color can vary from off-white/beige to medium yellow. I also found the 2 videos below that might be helpful.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdOS0GsVC9Qhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbDlBcuX5Jc

The serum is usally golden to tan in color not sure if I have ever seen any orange granules. But I really do like this product. Maybe you could contact the seller.

WHITE shea butter is refined. Unrefined colors vary from the different shades of Ivory, cream, slight green and light yellow. It's like when you go get "off-white" paint at Home Depot - under the light or on your wall you can probably see there are different shades, but these are all in the same family of cream/off-white/ivory. I hope this makes sense. The brighter yellow version from Better Shea Butter is unrefined Ivory with an African root added in the process (there are more details under the Yellow Shea Butter description that explain the yellow).

"Real shea butter has a hint of a nutty smell. It is a bit difficult to describe. It is not full of fragrances like the cheap stuff you get in Walmart or the chain stores but it works much better. I had never tried it prior to using this brand and I like it...especially since its organic.

I read somewhere that yellow shea butter has dye in it. I prefer the ivory shea butter because it tends to be softer which is easier for making my hair sealants.
