Shea Butter

Pure, unrefined Shea Butter — the gold standard of African natural skincare. Extracted from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree native to West Africa, Shea Butter has been used by women across the Sahel region for centuries as the primary moisturizer, hair treatment, cooking fat, and skin protectant. The Shea tree is so important in West African culture that it is called the "women's gold" — women have controlled the Shea trade for generations.

Rich in naturally occurring fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and skin-loving triglycerides, unrefined Shea Butter in its raw, ivory state is one of the most complete natural skincare ingredients available anywhere. It has been used to protect skin from the harsh Saharan climate, treat skin conditions, moisturize hair, and nourish babies' skin across West Africa for hundreds of years.

West African women's gold. The most complete natural moisturizer on earth.

Apply directly to skin and hair. Melts at body temperature. Use on face, body, and hair. A little goes a long way — start with a small amount and warm between palms before applying.
