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%

Happy switch

Have been directly using the Shea Butter, Unrefined - Organic on my skin for the past few years and then came across this one. It's cheaper (not entirely sure why - the other one's also sourced from Ghana), just as good for direct use, AND purchasing it supports the women in rural communities in Ghana who manufacture this product.

It's a no-brainer really, for me to make the switch to this particular shea butter.
