Refined Shea butter, by comparison, is both white and odorless, and has been "refined" in order to remove the natural nutty scent and color of natural Shea butter. Refined Shea butter is often extracted from the Shea kernels with hexane or other petroleum solvents -- it is then refined, bleached, and deodorized. The resulting product is an odorless white butter - and only retains a small portion of the nutritive and healing properties of its unrefined counterpart.
