Shea Butter Refined – CLEARANCE

Uses for expired Shea Butter:

Candle Making – Melt equal amounts of Shea Butter with Beeswax, add fragrance oils and colouring of your choice, pour into a mould or glass jar with a candle wick, let it set and then your candle is ready.  We made small tealight candles using our aluminium tealight cups (VTEACUPALUM) and found they burnt with a nice clear flame for approx. 8 hours.

Leather Conditioning – use to condition leather items such as shoes, belts and bags.  Melt the shea butter, apply on the leather items with a soft cloth, buff it gently to restore moisture and shine to it.  It can also act as a shoe polish on leather shoes to restore the shine.

Arts and Crafts – you can use expired shea butter to make crayons.  Melt the shea butter, add some beeswax to add hardness to the crayons.  Add some colouring agent, pour into a mould and let it dry.  Once set, your crayon is ready to go.  We used our push-up tubes (code VKTPU10 and V8.1) as a mould, and they were great!

Wood Conditioning – Use to moisturise and protect the wood from drying and cracking.  Some types of wood like oak, cherry, maple, pine and cedar are easily breakable and applying expired shea butter can add life to it.

Rust Prevention – can be used to prevent rust on metal, so use it to prevent your metal tools from rusting, it can act as a protective barrier against moisture therefore preventing rust.

Gardening – moisturise your hands before and after gardening to help protect your hands from harsh chemicals such as fertilisers and pesticides.  Also use on your gardening tools.  Wash off if you are going to be eating after applying the shea.

We do not recommend use of this expired Shea Butter for skincare products.
