Why is this Shea butter color yellow not Ivory? Is there any differences between yellow and ivory colored Shea butter?

The yellow is at its purest and natural state. Where as the white has be altered which means its not at its purest or natural state.

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.

I have been buying this Shea butter for years. I can tell it is unrefined because it still has the debris. I love how soft it is and easy for me to whip. I only know what I see and feel and it has been the greatest for me. I do know from research that the ivory is the purest of the Shea butters.

Perhaps the seller would be the best person to answer your question. But I did a quick google search and IVORY is UNREFINED. I love it. My husband gets badly cracked hands so I talked him into put it on his hands and wearing those little cotton gloves all night and in just a few days his hands were healed. He wouldn't believe me but is a believer now.

It is not ivory as I think Ivory is more yellow. Next to my white pillow case, it looks more cream, but that could be because of the difference in material and the shine from the silk. I would say it is creamy, but not stark white. I hope this is helpful.

Coco butter is an off white. Not a true white. I haven't ever heard that it was yellow. Coconut is an off white, I would think that the butter no matter whether it is new or not is that color. I am on the second I ordered and after a year it still hasn't changed color from what it was originally.

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.

I love this butter it is very smooth. I use it in my products for my skincare/beauty line. The color in it's natural state is like a canary yellow if that helps.

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

Technically you can use either but, the white Shea butter looks better (in my opinion) and the white Shea butter doesn't smell as strong as the yellow.

The Raw UNREFINED Ivory Shea Butter has a light earthy scent from the natural butter that fades away as applied to the skin. The only ingredients in the product is what you add. The product is naturally pure.

I didn't order the ivory color only the white. The white is a white/white but looked very nice. For the runner I had mixed the white with 2 other color purples and they all looked nice. I did use the white (by themselves) on the tables on top of the white table cloth and it looked great. They come compressed and you have to peel them apart which took a bit of time but the thinner they got the better they looked and more realistic they looked so we peeled them until you couldn't go any farther. Good luck with your event and I hope this helps.

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.

mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning! I use this for everything: cooking, skin, in my pets food...you can pay a lot more for small containers called organic or 100% pure but this is the same and a great quality and you can not beat the price...definitely NOT CRAP as someone stated. mine is not yellow...are you sure you ordered the white oil and not the one that comes with yellow/orange color/butter flavored?I have ordered two of the white oil and both are pure white, actually clear when melted...great stuff...it does not taste or smell like coconut like you think it would...it is not the same smelling stuff that you get for sun tanning!

The only difference is that one has SHEA BUTTER in it and the other doesn't. The black soap in your link doesn't have shea butter.*I am LC from NC.*

In the chart on another site the soft ivory looks lighter. Here it may look a tiny bit lighter to me. Light ivory is a bit dark on me, I'm fair skinned too. I think I will try the soft ivory next time.

Ivory is said to blend better cosmetically. The yellow is boiled for a shorter period of time, and cools harder than Ivory.
