About Our Products

What exactly is a body butter and how does it compare to a body cream or lotion?

Body butters only contain butters and oils whereas body creams or lotions contain water and lesser amounts of oils. As a result, the consistency of body butters is solid until it hits some body heat.

Can I eat The Shea Parlor Body Butters?

No! Although our products look like a sweet treat to eat, they are not meant to be eaten.

Storage Tips

How long do the body butters last?

Up to 6 months. Please be aware that this product is natural-based, and contains no water or preservatives. And while being made up of oils and butters means it doesn't need a preservative, the introduction of water into your product will significantly reduce your product’s shelf life. To avoid this, scoop out your butter with your wooden spoon, or dry hands.

How should I store my body butter?

Store your products in a cool dry place. You should not expose the product to direct sunlight. Doing so can cause the product to melt.

My body butter melted, is something wrong?

If your body butter is exposed to high temperatures, which can happen during shipping, the body butter may melt. If this happens, place the body butter in a cool dry place and it will solidify again. It may not have the creamy whipped consistency but it will still be soft and easy to use. If you're feeling adventurous, you can use a hand mixer to whip the body butter for consistency – though this is not necessary.
