Shea Butter

Shea butter is fat that's been extracted from shea tree nuts.  Shea Butter is hailed for its skin protecting and emollient properties. It has high amounts of unsaponifiable matters, Vitamin E and other natural elements and is a perfect natural moisturizing agent for the skin. It penetrates deeply and leaves a smooth, satiny finish.  In hair care it can increase shine and reduce frizz. It can also help protect from heat damage caused by styling.

We use organic, fair trade shea butter from Baraka Shea that is sustainably harvested and handmade in Ghana by local women.  The heat required to process the butter is supplied by burning leftover shea nut solids, producing a circular energy loop, rather than cutting down trees to burn for fuel (which is the norm for most shea production sites).
