Do you have documentation that the Shea butter is grade A and not a lower grade?

No, I don't have documentation. But it was not grainy when I melted it and filtered it through a cheesecloth. And I haven't had any negative results from when I mix is for my hair and body.

I don't remember receiving a document but I do believe there was a label just stating it was unrefined.

No, it is pretty standard for non-commerical grade. It dries hair quickly though.

I did not see a grade on the jar but I can say that for my purposes, personal skin care and massage therapy, the product is excellent.

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.

It is very clean, and that is about all I can say. I have no experience with buying shea butter prior to this, and no additional information about is grade, bio fraction levels, or mercury content were provided.

No, all those 'grades' are all a marketing ploy by the production company. There is no standardizing body in the world that recognizes 'therapy grade' or 'food grade' as actual standards for essential oils. 100% pure is 100%.

I agree with the other response, there is no documentation regarding the grade. I have used it regularly and it appears to be very sturdy.

Hey Carmen, I bought some a couple weeks ago. This Shea butter is nothing like store bought Shea. My Shea butter was very soft, smooth and minimal debris. I will say best Shea butter I've had so far.

The Shea Butter i received was definetly unfiltered and unrefined. I use it on my natural hair and to replace lotion on my skin. I will be purchasing again in the future.

It's white (like an ivory white) and I believe it's unrefined. It's also not as oily as Shea butter.

Yes, shea butter is pretty solid, not a lotion but a "butter". I don't remember the jar being sealed but it was a long time ago that I bought it. Might be best to call the company to be sure. What do you thiknk of the scent? is it feminine, nice or is it more nutty, earthy smelling. Also, is it whiteish or more yellow/tan? Just curious what it is like now in 2014.

Turn the "Raw Shea butter brown" package around, there should be a bar code, under that it says 100% Organic Shea Butter.

the old label for this product listed it as "food grade" but when I received item in mail it had a different label that did NOT mention anything about using it internally, I tried to ask "Now Foods" directly but was put on hold for a very long time. In my opinion I am guessing that the label has been changed to avoid any litigation since any clay product can cause internal problems if not taken with extreme caution.

I think this product is a slight lesser grade than what is offered at salon (I have tried both). But works very well and smells the same.

Hi! I ordered this product not too long ago, and I received a 5lb block of yellow shea butter wrapped in a couple of layers of plastic in a box. It is a great quality. Hope this helps!
