Don't be alarmed if you see a change in the color or texture of Shea butter. It is quite natural for it to change from time to time. The color & texture can vary from trees growing in different locations with different climatic & soil conditions.
In fact, the color of Shea butter can not only vary slightly from one tree to another but the color of the butter can also vary from seed to seed!
So without looking so much in to SLIGHT color variations, we can focus more on the reasons for why there are more SIGNIFICANT color variations, for example, from white to yellow & which of these could be the color of pure raw Shea butter.
The color of Shea butter can vary from off-white (often called ivory), grey or greenish to yellow. These variations are due to the season & region that the Shea butter is extracted from.
