Q: What's the difference between Pure Shea Butter and Shea Body Butter?

Pure Shea Butter (180ml) is shea butter in its more concentrated, less processed form, while Shea Body Butter (also 180ml) is typically whipped or blended for a lighter, easier-to-apply texture, though both are built around the same core ingredient. Beyond these two, Aviela also makes targeted versions for specific areas -- a Hand Butter (50ml) and a Foot Butter (60ml) -- sized and formulated for those smaller, often drier areas of skin, plus a lighter Body Lotion (250ml) if you want an easier-to-spread, less rich everyday moisturiser. If you want an intensive moisturiser for very dry skin, the pure or body butter is the richer option; for everyday all-over use, the lotion is lighter and quicker to absorb.

Aviela builds its range around shea butter, in pure and blended forms, alongside a traditional African black soap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Pure Shea Butter and Shea Body Butter?

Pure Shea Butter (180ml) is shea butter in its more concentrated, less processed form, while Shea Body Butter (also 180ml) is typically whipped or blended for a lighter, easier-to-apply texture, though both are built around the same core ingredient.

Beyond these two, Aviela also makes targeted versions for specific areas -- a Hand Butter (50ml) and a Foot Butter (60ml) -- sized and formulated for those smaller, often drier areas of skin, plus a lighter Body Lotion (250ml) if you want an easier-to-spread, less rich everyday moisturiser.

If you want an intensive moisturiser for very dry skin, the pure or body butter is the richer option; for everyday all-over use, the lotion is lighter and quicker to absorb.

What is African Shea Black Soap?

It's a traditional soap (120g) made with shea, used as a cleansing bar in the same way as any other soap, rather than a moisturising product like the butters and lotion in the range.

Which product should I use on hands and feet specifically?

Aviela makes a dedicated Shea Hand Butter (50ml) and Shea Foot Butter (60ml), each formulated and sized for those specific areas rather than using the general body butter.

Is Aviela's shea butter suitable for all skin types?

As with any cosmetic product, patch-test on a small area first if you have particularly sensitive skin, and check the ingredient list for anything you know you react to.

How should shea butter products be stored?

Store at room temperature away from direct heat, since shea butter can soften or melt in high temperatures -- this doesn't affect its use, but keeping it cool helps maintain its texture.

Let’s Hear What Our Customers Have To Say

Product and price are both 5 star. Courier awful. Tracking less than useless but seriously, these items are fabulous. And this was definitely the best price I’ve seen. I’ll put up with the longer delivery time. It’s not the seller’s fault at all. I’m telling all my T2D friends about these. The only crisp type snack...

Serious Pig Snacking Cheese Classic 24g - 12 Pack

Good quality product, higher dha/epa than others, being in a foiled pouch helps keep fresh and doesn't allow light to oxidise as fast as clear packaging. Recommended.
