An African Wonder
Shea Butter
Shea Butter comes from the fruit of the Shea Tree, which is found only in Africa. The Shea Tree is also known as the Savannah or Karite tree and grows naturally in West Africa. It produces a fruit, similar to a plum, which contains a nut. The nut is dried, and the kernel inside is then removed. The kernel is ground up to obtain Shea Butter, which has softening, nourishing and moisturizing benefits.
Shea Butter is referred to as 'Women’s Gold' because of its amazing skincare properties. Local African women process the Shea Butter using a cold process technique.
It is a valuable source of income for many African women. Shea Butter has many benefits including protecting extra-dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. It protects against the sun’s rays, acts as an antioxidant (Vitamin E), and has regenerating and restructuring properties. It is simply used by melting a small amount of Shea Butter in the palm of your hand and massaging gently onto the face, hands and body. You may find it easier to apply if warmed between your fingers first.

We prefer to offer our customers a completely natural product rather than a refined one and this means there will be some variation in texture of the finished product. We also support only fair-trade sources that use the natural method of production.
