Jedwards International, Inc. is a wholesale bulk supplier of Shea Nut Oil.
Shea Nut Oil, a by-product of shea nut butter, is obtained from the nuts of the Karite tree. Shea nut oil is produced by lightly heating shea nut butter to separate the fractionated and non-fractionated make up of the material. The fractionated material is then fully refined, resulting in a transparent oil with a pale yellow appearance.
Shea nut oil is an ideal ingredient used throughout the cosmetic industry in the manufacturing of skin creams, lotions and make-up. Its physical properties allow it to easily absorb into the skin promoting skin elasticity; and will not leave an oily or greasy residue typical of many oils. Shea nut oil is a great natural emollient and can be used to treat dry skin and hair. A number of companies are using shea nut oil in the production of their line of baby care products as well. It contains a high level of vitamins A, E, F and oleic fatty acid. Shea nut oil may help with skin irritations and is especially favorable for massage therapists in hot oil treatments.

Virgin is considered the natural/raw material with the characteristic color, flavor, and aroma. Refining removes these properties so the material is a lighter shade than the virgin material and often times clear, off-white, or white with little-to-no scent or flavor.
Refined, bleached (non-chemical process), deodorized. An "RBDW" product goes through a winterization ("W") process in addition to the RBD process.
Deodorized materials go through a non-chemical, high-vacuum process to reduce their natural aroma. While the aroma is not removed fully, a deodorized product’s aroma is less potent than the natural or unrefined variety.
