Feel free to play around with the ingredients; it’s one of the beauties of homemade products. Substitute the ingredients with others, increase or decrease the quantities. Add essential oils if you prefer, be cautious though, especially if you have sensitive skin. Add carrier oils if you wish, especially if the skin of your face is dry. Have fun!

The problem is most of the retailers and shops selling raw Shea butter are not selling the authentic one. Especially in Europe, some of the shea butter being sold are so white in colour, hard and crispy, above all with no earthy smell that raw Shea butter is known for.
