*Testing newest batch of Shea Butter from Amazon, Plant Guru brand. Unrefined and an almost greenish darker tan hue much darker than my last batch of refined Shea. Out of the box, it smells of a campfire and a very earthy smell. The label states: Our Shea Butter is imported directly from a small village in Ghana, Africa, where it has been harvested by hand for centuries. W) 20% Shea butter as well as 20% cocoa butter (wafers), i thought it would trace quickly. It did not!
