Find your shea butter jar

Okwuma makes one butter: unrefined Nigerian shea whipped with mango butter, virgin coconut oil and castor oil, handmade in small batches. What changes is how much of it you want and whether it carries the house scent. Four questions and you will know which jar is yours, and what to do with it.

The four questions

How does your skin feel?

Dry and tight, fine and wanting softness, or easily irritated.

Where will it go?

Arms and legs, the places that crack (hands, heels, elbows, knees), or edges, ends and beard.

Scent?

The house scent of amber, mango and coconut, kept light, or nothing at all.

Is this your first Okwuma jar?

A first jar, a restock, or something you will use every day.

The jars

Which size

The 2 oz jar is the one to start with: enough to learn how much you actually use. The 8 oz jar costs less per ounce and is the one for dry skin all over, or for anyone restocking.

Scented or unscented

Unscented is shea, mango, coconut and castor, and nothing else. The signature scent is amber, mango and coconut, kept light. If you are unsure, take the unscented jar: scent can be added to a plain jar later, and it cannot be taken out of a scented one.
