Description

Our Ghanaian, unrefined Shea is a heavenly creamy, soft and silky Shea that is hand-made in rural Ghana. Using traditional methods, the crushed Shea nuts are roasted over an open fire so the finished butter has a mild smokey smell.

We purchase our Ghanaian Shea from a collective whose mission is to help eradicate poverty through the empowerment of the rural women of Ghana. As the manufacturing process is traditional and requires only basic equipment the collective has quickly been able to improve the lives of over 1000 women in rural Ghana and more are being assisted every day.

Please note: due to the artisanal and unrefined nature of this product, it is not uncommon to find foreign matter in the butter. The colour and texture may also vary.

Suggested Uses:
Lotions & Creams: 3-5% | Balms: 5-100% | Bar Soaps: 3-6% | Hair Conditioners: 2-5%

Frequent User - For severe Eczema

We have been using Ghanaian shea butter for months, together with tallow, to make whipped shea butter cream for my kids’ eczema. It’s very moisturizing and leaves their skin soft and smooth. We will definitely continue to buy more.

Lovely product

Has a slight nutty smell to it - not strong or unpleasant, however. I have used it in Cecil Vig’s Vitamin C Body Butter. I used a little Pure Nature mandarin, and French vanilla in the final whipping stage and it toned down the original smell perfectly. It is no longer obvious once the body butter is applied to the skin. This shea butter is rich, buttery and very moisturising.
