Shea Butter
RAW UNREFINED · EXPORT CERTIFIED · ETHICALLY SOURCED
BV Integrated supplies raw, unrefined Grade A shea butter sourced from women-led cooperatives and verified producers across the shea belt of West Africa. Our shea butter is extracted using traditional cold-pressing methods that preserve the full concentration of naturally occurring fatty acids, vitamins, and bioactive compounds — making it suitable for cosmetic manufacturers, food processors, pharmaceutical ingredient buyers, and personal care product formulations. Each batch is tested for free fatty acid content, moisture, peroxide value, and microbial compliance before export, and is accompanied by full documentation including MSDS, Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Origin, and Phytosanitary Certificates. We supply in 25kg and 50kg drums or customised bulk packaging to suit manufacturing and distribution requirements.
