Frequently Asked Questions

What makes The Healing Nest Shea Butter different from others?

Our shea butter is 100% natural, handcrafted in small batches, and infused with intentional care, love, and spiritual grounding. We use high-quality, ethically sourced shea butter blended with natural oils and botanicals to nourish both skin and soul.

Is your shea butter all-natural?

Yes. Every product from The Healing Nest is made using only natural ingredients — free from parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals.

Is your shea butter whipped or raw?

We offer our signature Whipped Shea Butter, which has a smooth, airy texture that melts easily into the skin for quick absorption and a luxurious feel.

Where are your products made?

All of our products are handmade with love in Columbus, Ohio, in small, carefully controlled batches.

Are your products safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our shea butter is gentle and deeply moisturizing, ideal for sensitive, dry, or eczema-prone skin. However, we always recommend doing a patch test first if you have allergies or extremely reactive skin.

Do your products have fragrance?

We use natural essential oils for light, uplifting scent blends — never synthetic fragrances. Unscented options are also available for those who prefer a pure formula.

How do I use whipped shea butter?

Massage a small amount into clean, damp skin. It can be used daily on your body, face, and even hair for deep hydration.

Can I use it on my hair?

Absolutely! It's perfect for sealing in moisture, defining curls, or adding shine to dry ends.

Does shea butter help with stretch marks or scars?

Yes — consistent use can help fade the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone due to its high vitamin A and E content.

Can men use your shea butter too?

Definitely. While The Healing Nest celebrates feminine energy, our products are unisex and beneficial for everyone's skin.

How long does shipping take?

Orders typically ship within 3–5 business days. You'll receive a tracking email once your order is on the way.

What should I do if my order arrives damaged?

Please email us at support@thehealingnest.co within 3 days of delivery with your order number and a photo of the damaged item. We'll make it right.

Can I cancel or change my order?

Orders can be modified within 24 hours of purchase. After that, they may already be in processing and unable to change.

How should I store my shea butter?

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shea butter may soften or melt in heat — if it does, simply refrigerate for a few minutes to re-solidify.

What's the shelf life?

Our whipped shea butter lasts 6–12 months when stored properly.

What does "The Healing Nest" stand for?

The Healing Nest represents a safe space for restoration — mind, body, and spirit. Each product is designed to help you reconnect with your natural glow and inner peace.

Are your ingredients ethically sourced?

Yes. We partner with trusted suppliers who source fair-trade shea butter directly from women's cooperatives in West Africa.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk orders?

Yes! We love partnering with boutiques, spas, and wellness brands. Please visit our Wholesale page or email wholesale@thehealingnest.co for details.
