FAQ
Email us any time at orders@Shearadiance.com and we'll get back to you within 24 hours. You can also call us 5 days a week (M-F) between 10am - 4pm ET at 443.812.0762 (standard telephone rates apply).
Shea Radiance Whipped Shea Butter and Raw Shea Butter products will melt in temperatures of 89°F or higher. During the warm months (May through September), it is possible that products will melt or soften while in transit. During periods of sustained temperatures of over 90°F, we hold off shipping until there is a break in the weather, which may cause your shipment to be delayed.Â
Shea butter is a West African product and summer heat and sun will not impact its efficacy or quality. If melting does occur, leave product at room temperature or put in the fridge to solidify. Whipped butters may lose their mousse-like texture but will deliver skin moisturizing benefits as promised.
If you are ordering during the summer or live in a hot location, please order at your own risk! To avoid disappointment, we recommend reaching out to us with any concerns you have about melting before you place your order.
Here are our tips for making sure your product survives in warmer weather:
- Ship your package to an address where somebody will be available to accept the delivery (e.g., office address)
- Bring your package inside as soon as you receive your delivery confirmation e-mail
- Don’t let your package sit in direct sunlight on a porch or in a mailbox (both can turn into an oven in the summer sun!)
Shipping & Accounts
We aim to ship your products at the best consistency possible. Orders placed M-TH by 3pm EST will be processed & shipped the same day. Orders placed on Friday will be shipped on Monday to prevent your package from melting.
Shipping takes about 3-5 business days, and you can always track your shipment by visiting your Shea Radiance account, or using the Shipping Confirmation email that we send you as soon as your order ships. We partner with USPS and other major parcel carriers to get your products to you as quickly as possible.
While we work hard to ensure that everyone gets their order in a reasonable amount of time, friends in Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. Territories may receive shipments in 4 weeks.

We ship to the United States. We also ship to US Military APO, FPO & DPO addresses, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands. Shipping to the latter areas, as well as Hawaii and Alaska, tends to take a bit longer.Â
We’re unable to offer expedited shipping to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses. We hope to ship to more countries soon!
We offer free shipping on any order over $50.00. Stay tuned to our social media for additional free shipping promotions.
Free Shipping is applied to Ground Shipments. Orders shipping to the East Coast United States take approximately 3-5 business days and shipments to the West Coast United States takes approximately 4-5 business days.
Products & Ingredients
Our African Black Soaps along with the Shea butter used in all of our other products are sourced from women run co-ops in Ghana and Nigeria (West Africa). Our Body Care and Hair care products are then formulated in Maryland using the Shea butter sourced from West Africa. It gives us great pride to create our products and we're glad to have an authentic supply chain to help us.
We recommend that you use what is best for your hair texture and hair care routine. Our shampoo, conditioner, hair milk, hair butter, conditioning hair mask, and hair repair cream were made to work great together or separately.
The best way to use our Body Care and Shea butter products is by applying them to damp skin to deeply moisturize dry skin and seal-in 24hr hydration.
Our products are primarily created to deeply moisturize your body and hair. Due to the natural nut ingredients found in most of our products we recommend that you read the ingredient label to determine whether or not you’d like to use our Body Care or Shea butter products for your face. If you’re still unsure please test it first by applying our products to your inner elbow. For extra assurance we recommend consulting your physician or an Esthetician.
Please discontinue use immediately and contact your physician.
We DO NOT test our products on animals, and that will never change.
