- Shea butter is a great product for preventing our hair from drying out, retaining moisture for longer periods of time. It works even better for skin aging maintenance.

All my black queens should deserve to hear about this wonderful channel!
What about us caramel girls
Our Aunties in Africa!!! Yasssssss!!
THIS is the BEST video explaining the difference between white and yellow Shea butter (that I've watched thus far). This was definetly not a waste of 9 mins and I'm surprised you were able to fit all that info into one video without babbling.
Unfortunately I purchased African Butter thinking it was Shea butter, but I'm glad it's not a complete waste of money and I'm also really thankful for the links that you provided to purchase authentic shea butter.
I'm excited, and I subscribed to look to you for any further questions I have in the future lol
Great Job
Can you do a video on JBCO next? Under my impression Jamaican BLACK castor oil almost is supposed to appear black or a very deep brown. But the only ones I see provided at every store I've been to and every person I have seen use it has some that is no where near that deep brown color.
Good idea ...
It depends on the ash content. The more ash the darker it is.
AbandonedCloset JBCO is no different then other dark colored castor oils found all over the west indies and south America
really insightful video
Just always read the ingredients to see if they try to water it down by adding other oils when its only supposed to be castor
this is really informative!
your voice ir really pleasant to listen to
Let's be real though. This woman is underrated.
Girl, you slayed it! I never thought shea butter comes in an off white color, always thought it's suppose to be in deep yellowish orangey color but I learned something else today. Thank ya 💕
Ok so the “Shea” butter I was using from the beauty supply store is probably fake or African butter. Figures 😐
I think so too. It makes my skin dry. Very dry.
Same goes for me 🤦🏻♀️
It is now August 2024, and I find Green Beauty videos to be some of the most informative, intelligent, helpful videos for my natural hair journey. Kudos and thank you for your hard work!! ❤️🥰
I know I am 3 years late, but I am glad that I found this video! I always wondered what her stance was on Shea butter on the hair. I have tried a few twist butters for my hair, but I have not had a product that gets my hair as perfect as raw African Shea butter with a little mixture of jamaicain castor oil! I only use those two products for my twists and I get so many compliments on my hair! The African women think that I got it done professionally, but I always tell them that I do them myself, but I use raw Shea butter and Jamaican castor oil!
This is precisely why I have my dad ship it to me direct from Ghana! Great video.
Thank you for this ! Super helpful! I recently developed eczema and picked up some “100 % yellow African Shea butter” but after watching this I’m pretty sure it’s actually kapagnan butter
everyone's answers for yellow shea butter is different, but I know people who have watched shea butter being made and the root that they do apply to the shea butter does give it a very yellow color.
Morgan Francis I know what you mean. I get my Shea butter at the African world festival in Detroit and the dealer told me it's different color comes from how it's milled. He said it's no difference in the ivory or the yellow. I have bought both in the past but at different times. But this time I'm buying both together!
Yes Indeed ‼ It's like a bright yellow, because they add a root which called pachow (the spelling may not be correct), so it has so medecinal proprety like anti inflammatory.
Here the video
th-cam.com/video/AF6xxrQXYxI/w-d-xo.html
Bought 2 jars yesterday and when I got home I'm like why is yellow and the other not? Wtf?
Thank god I saw this! He said they added a root to it that gives it a yellow color. Oh okaaaaay
A) because it is pure white with means it has seen stripped of most to all healing properties
ayesha charles I think so too if I was really paying attention. lol
I think this too. It's also pretty cool to find another Samurai Champloo fan within the comments 👍
Ayesha Charles the white one is unrefined which means no chemicals or preservatives added, the yellow is is combined with palm oil which means is not 100%pure!!!!
A. If it's pure white most likely it is not authentic, Because it's most likely been bleached and all the awesome beneficial nutrients have been taken out through the refining process. Real authentic unrefined Shea butter is ivory to pale yellow and its varies because that is how organic products are, every batch is different!
Love this channel, so informative, I would have passed the exam, lol!
Greenbeauty is wonderful at teaching how our hair should be cared for.
Came here before ordering some at amazon... Wanna get the good stuff!
Brandy Yolidio same here
I refuse to order ANYTHING from Amazon.
Brandy Yolidio same
Valerie Neal
Same
Your attention to detail is really impressive. I just had a weird Deja Vu as I think I've typed this on your videos before!
C-Because it is darker in color and most likely bleached. You stated that unrefined Shea is pale in color and it will vary because that is how the organic process work. Great informative video! Thank you for the chance to win and good luck to all!
You never let me down... always answer my questions honestly you deserve waaaaay more subscribers..I love you girl
Thank You 🙂
I use the East African one from Sudan and I can attest to its moisturizing properties. I've mixed it with Olive oil and essential oils and it does wonders for my skin and made my hair very soft.
I have a couple of friends in West Africa, so I'm going to get some Shea butter from there and see if there really is a difference.
Where do you buy your east african shea butter from?
I think you hair is so gorgeous and I want my hair to look just like yours, when I was 7 years old my mom used a lot of heat and chemicals in my hair. Years pasted and my hair started to break off a lot. I'm now 14 years old and I hope that your products will help my hair. I can't buy them because I have not money so that why I want to win so bad.
Really informative and easy to understand. Great to see local African butter for cosmetic use !! I got refined shea butter and plan to use in cooking in Indian cuisines!
A is the most refined shea butter. It is the whitest and has been bleached and refined and therefore lost the ability to heal and its nutrients. Still fine for moisturising hair though. Thanks for making the best beauty videos on youtube! I love how everything is explained and illustrated and not just stated opinions :-) I recently discovered this channel but has watched almost every video!
I think it is A. Rather than being off-white, beige or a pale yellow, it is pure white. Pure and unrefined shea butter has a pale colour rather than a bright one. This means that it has been bleached and has been refined. It also appears to be hard instead of soft and creamy like pure shea butter.
I think it is C because it's bright yellow in color. Love you channel!
I like this cartoon lol
Right! Too funny and cute.
"Cartoon" lmao I can't with y'all
@@nah_. lol, they meant the animated Woman in the vid! XDDD!
@@ookipuki I know, it's still funny and weirdly wholesome lol
A is the refined because it has been bleached and lost its healing properties. it's still has its moisturizing hair properties for the hair.
(A) The pure white shea has been refined and stripped of many of its healing properties (I learned that from you...lol) thanks for the information and the giveaway 😉
I bought an off white more beige in color Shea butter in Ghana and I wasn't sure if I got a fake one b/c people always say it's YELLOW YELLOW but I am glad you cleared this up!
U dnt Understand how helpful this was such a big batch of Shea butter that I bought and I paid $55 for was African Shea butter because it’s really grainy and breaks apart every time I pick it up so helpful thank u
its A. because the darker the shea butter is the purer it is.
The shea i get says its imported from ghana and it has a earthy smell to it bright yellow it reminds me of popcorn butter and the white ivory shea butter reminds me of mozzarella cheese I believe I found the real deal... I love applying it to my skin..... it make me my skin nice smooth soft and moisturized
White Shea butter is the most likely to be refined. Thank you so much for educating us on Shea Butter. I use it often but didn't know there were such a variety of color and properties. Also thank you so much for the list of sellers. I will definitely use your recommendations for future purchases.
Forgot to add that my answer is A.
Also for the contest option A is most likely to be processed/ refined as the color is too evenly white. This is a sign the nutrients have been removed through processing. Raw butter will have a mix of ivory/ off white and beige.
For those who want to know the difference between the yellow one and the Ivory one.
It's like a bright yellow, because they add a root which called pachow (the spelling may not be correct), so it has so medecinal proprety like anti inflammatory.
Here the video
th-cam.com/video/AF6xxrQXYxI/w-d-xo.html
My answer is A. Its the purest white out of the choices available. The most yellow one is just African butter from the butter tree, rather than the shea tree. B is actual shea butter and D is East african shea butter. A IS MOST LIKELY REFINED!
(P.S. it also explains why my hair acts so crazy with shea butter....I must have found the "real deal" as of late, cause it moisturizes my hair perfectly...But i have tried and failed in the past with shea butter products. For a while I thought I was allergic!)
A
and darn, the shea butter I bought is a fake
I really thought the yellow one was the real deal deal all those times. Thank you so much for this videos! I think D is the answer?
The pale yellow ones are the real 1?
Thank you @@sabrinabecckford2025, I would be buying the dark yellow one all my life
B because it is pale in color, which in this video you stated is a characteristic of authentic Shea Butter.
So incredibly insightful!
Oh thank goodness I have faint yellow kpangnan african butter in my house.
Edit: I mixed it with 100% coconut oil and GIRL-🗿I saw Jesus on my skin
Lmaooo
I love you! You are so knowledgeable and your videos are engaging, informative and edifying. They're also well-produced. Your "why" is very clear and tells me that you care deeply. Thank you for being out there for us!
These videos are so professional and educational. Are a graphic or web designer? If not sista, you need to be! Lol great video!
She must be. Excellent quality
A is the refined. Thank you so much Green Beauty💚
Shea butter has been around for millions of years. Our great forefathers has been using. Go Natural
My sister, Thank you for your data-backed, intelligently-delivered, professionally produced videos. I learn something new and fascinating each time I watch them. I also walk away with information that empowers me to make mindful buying choices. Also, much respect and appreciation for promoting quality, heart-filled work of other sisters.
Wow, based on this video, I've never actually bused shea butter before. I guess i used African Butter, which I found far too greasy for my skin. I look forward to trying actual shea butter
I choose A because it's pure white has been bleached and lost all of its nutritional properties...💕💕very informational thanks so much😍
So informative, thank you! The answer is "A". Mainly because it's been refined and bleached thus losing almost all of it's nutritional properties.
Answer: A. We can assume it's refined and bleached, still provides moisture, so "ok" for hair, but healing properties were mostly destroyed in the processing of it.
p.s. Thank you for providing very informative, detailed videos in an interesting way.
You're the "Boom", A is the answer to your question. You talk extremely knowledgeable. Thank you soooo very much. God bless you. I grew up watching my mom making Shea oil or Shea butter as people call. There are two ways of making Shea: 1) the roasted nuts that yeal brownish Shea oil and the raw nut which yeal the "Almighty" beige butter. I've never seen a yellow Shea but until I came to the USA decades ago. I always argued with people that these are not Shea butter..... Thank you so much for your research. It really helped me understand how the "Yellow" shea butter comes to life. The beige color of shea butter depend on how and where it is produced. God bless your heart ♥!!
A,
n i will like to thank u on de behave of my country Ghana from such a wonderful n awesome presentation
Welk dan sis keep it up
I saw one video and subscribed right away! I love that you're showing the chemical science behind everything!
I just ordered shea butter online and then watched this video. I was about to go and see reviews from the site I bought from then BAM you mention African Naturals where I bought from. I can't wait! Thanks for this very informative video
B-the most purest usually have some color and the consistence is smooth
Same here thats what I use in my business real authentic organic shea butter and I also use real authentic organic Cocoa butter and essential oils as well. I love it is truly amazing and so moisturizing any hydrating for the body. @michaela07201
The white one works great on my skin i dont like the yellow one
Ghana girl here! Love the shoutout
Hi Angela
A is pure white. I know I'm late but this was so informative. I thought my Shea butter was suspicious. It was. Turns out it's African nut butter from that other tree😒 thank you so much for this
I wish I had found your channel sooner. You're doing such a great job. Thank you
Thank you and welcome 🤗
I love this video
Great information
... but the background music
was a little too loud and distracting,
making it hard to hear you sometimes.
I really enjoyed this video (please leave
out the music next time)
thank you for all you do. the work you put in to provide awareness, education and accuracy does noy go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated. please keep up the great work. Thank you!
I remember using cantu shea butter moisturizer leave in or something (the one in the jar container) and it dried my hair out so much....
Perri Senpai omg same I would have to half the jar and it still did nothing when it dried
That stuff is CRAP. Did the same to my hair😠
Because it's made of mostly water is my conclusion. Not a lot of the other ingredients.
@@lst_sunrise lol water would moisturize, it would be alcohol that dries hair out
Cantu products are a waste of money period
Your videos give me so much life ! Thank you and keep up the good work !
I have watched a few videos and you now have a new subscriber!!! thank you so much
Great vedeo. You are definitely right. My grandfather produces shea butter that's exactly the color we gets the off white one it's authentic
Shea butter is great to cook with. You can't even smell it with most foods. The only foods that can have the smell is small food like omelets, but something like jollof rice will not smell like it. I am Senegalese we cook with shea butter a lot.
"A" has a bright white color which are characteristics of a refined and heavily processed product. There is little to no nutritional value. This was a very informative video! Thank you!
I remember every time someone came back from Nigeria in our family they would bring shea butter. We would use it for our skin
may the Lord continue to give you wisdom. you are a blessing. need greenbeauty products in Zimbabwe

As an east African girl... i approve this video
Excellent ! This is the best TH-cam video ever !
Excellent video...please keep them coming!!!
What a breath of fresh air that's what’s needed fact based knowledge more please👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This was super helpful!!!
My shea butter is from an african seller's stand and it is ivory and some parts are grainy and some are creamy. I'm not sure if its been mixed!
Very informative video! Thank you!
The answer is A because it is bright white in color. Unrefined shea butter is pale in color. It also comes in a range of off white, beige, and yellow..
A: because its the whitest and looks like the one with the most impurities removed. In other words, A is refined because it is white and creamy with a smooth and fine texture
I am using the white african. Shea butter and it is from gana Africa and I use it in my hair and on my skin when I am going to bed at night
Thanks for all that information ..I just ordered the shea butter from the link...much needed information
I think my Shea butter is from the butter tree 😞 I feel bamboozled
This video made me instantly subscribe to you! You are so knowledgeable and you make sure your statements are sourced and backed up with reasoning! Thank you so much for this informative video and please keep doing what you’re doing
This was very informative. Thanks📝💕
I just found this channel. I love it! So helpful. Good to know I purchased the right shea butter. I am subscribing right now.
My answer is A. It looks the color like white sugar therefore, it's refined.
I appreciate your informative and detailed approach!!! Thank you so much for your hard work.
Thank you again for ALL YOUR Knowledge!! We all appreciate You!!!
Thank you so much for doing this video! 😊❤❤❤❤I appreciate all you have done it educate us on hair, hair types and so much more. I am truly grateful for your work and am so happy to have stumbled on you videos in my search as to how to treat, and care for my hair.
Black Soap next! Thanks! 😬
The answer is A because it is pure white. As always, thanks for the useful information. Keep doing what you do.
Thank you for this !!! I love Shea butter and mix my own but it's hard to source raw butter. This was an amazing guide to help and I can support a black business 😁.
Very informative. I use the beige colored one. I love it
That's the only one I use in my soaps and body and hair butters, organic and unrefined ivory Shea butter. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 usually get mine from essential depot but I'm going to support the young African sister. Have to buy and support black and my fellow female entrepreneurs.
A, do to it's bright white appearance it has most likely been bleached. I love your channel, its so informative. I will be recommending this to every Natralista I know!
