What is Shea Butter?

Shea butter is a natural plant-based oil that's solid at room temperature. It has been treasured in West Africa for hundreds of years for its healing properties. Traditionally hand-crafted shea butter is used to treat a variety of skin problems including dry skin, rashes, burns and stretch marks. Packed with naturally occurring vitamins, essential fatty acids, and other healing properties means pure, unrefined shea butter can rejuvenate skin cells, protect against ultra-violet rays, and has anti-inflammatory properties. If the term "wonder cream” could be used for a skin moisturizer, unrefined shea butter deserves the title!

Shea butter is processed from the kernels found inside the fruit of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Shea trees are native to the savannah region of Africa. Our shea butter is made from the kernels of wild harvested fruit. It takes shea trees 20 to 30 years to begin to bear fruit, so the trees must be protected by local communities. The fruits ripen and fall from the tree at the beginning of the rainy season. Then, the kernels are separated from the fruit and ready to begin the shea butter production.

Tell me, Why would you despise this Africa nature miracle for carcinogenic imported chemicals all in the name of body creams and lightening lotions?
