Shea butter

[Plarka]

I'd like to buy some shea butter to put in the baby balm I'm making. The problem is, I don't know what to look for when I buy it. Organic, unrefined, things like that. What type should I get exactly?

Thanks!

I'd choose organic, unrefined shea butter. I love this company www.purelyshea.com but it is more $$ than other companies. I also bought Alaffia shea butter at whole foods. It is unrefined but not organic. It is socially responsible company and is produced by peasant women in Africa (if I remember correctly). But, I dont like the smell and feel as much as the purely shea, plus it is not organic. I'd go for organic for sure if you were using it on a baby. I use purely shea on myself and my kiddos. Hope this help!
