This butter will often exhibit a darker, brownish-grey to black color due to the Chebe powder infusion and has a rich, somewhat grainy texture. Primarily used for hair care, it moisturizes the scalp and strengthens hair to promote length retention and prevent breakage

Color: Often a light to dark brown, sometimes with a reddish tint. This color comes directly from the Chebe powder itself, which is made from roasted and ground seeds and herbs. The exact shade can vary based on the roasting process of the Chebe powder and the other butters/oils used in the blend (e.g., if it’s mixed with yellow shea butter).

Texture/Consistency: It’s a thick, rich, and often somewhat grainy or gritty butter. While the base butters (like shea or mango) are creamy, the presence of the finely ground Chebe powder gives it a distinctive, slightly textured feel. It’s typically a semi-solid at room temperature, designed to be melted down slightly by hand for application.

Melting Point: Similar to other natural butters, it will soften significantly or melt with body heat, making it spreadable despite its initial thickness.

Aroma: It has a distinct, earthy, natural, and often slightly smoky or spicy aroma. This is due to the traditional roasting of the Chebe powder ingredients (like cherry seeds, cloves, and resin). Some formulations may add essential oils to mask or complement this natural scent, but the underlying Chebe aroma is usually noticeable.

Absorption: While it absorbs well into the hair shaft (its primary use), it is designed to form a protective coating on the hair strands. This means it might not fully “disappear” like a lighter oil but rather leave a light, protective film, which is intentional for its moisture-sealing benefits. It’s often not applied to the scalp directly due to its gritty nature and traditional usage.

Appearance (when solid): It will look like a thick, dense butter, with the visible specks or fine particles of the Chebe powder throughout, giving it a natural, unrefined appearance.
