About Our
Unrefined Premium Shea Butter
Shea nut trees do
not yield fruit until they are *0 years old, but bear fruit until
their **0th year.
Women in Burkina
Faso’s co-operatives harvest the shea fruit, boil to separate the
pulp from the nut, dry the nuts, and shell nuts with pestles. The
nuts are then crushed in a time consuming process in which three
women gather around a vat of nuts, using simultaneous strokes
into a mortar with pestles, until a paste is formed. The paste is
then mixed with water to separate the oil that will become shea
butter, a smooth, light yellow butter, with a slightly nutty
aroma, in its pure, unrefined state. Shea butter will last for
many years if kept away from light and heat as it is resilient to
oxidative rancidity. It is high in vitamins (especially A and E),
minerals, proteins and fatty acids.
Shea nut trees provide shade for animals in Africa, and every
part is used in villages: the fruit is edible; leaves, roots and
bark are used in medicinal preparations; wood and nut shells are
used for fuel; nuts are used for butter and cosmetics; and butter
is used for decoration and waterproofing houses, as well as for
trade/income.
Shea butter is
highly prized by international cosmetics,
chocolate and pharmaceutical industries and the co-operatives can
earn **3 times more on the international market, than on the
village market – thus increasing medical expenditure, school
attendance, and empowerment of women.
Shea Butter
Benefits
Shea Butter is naturally rich in
Vitamins A, E, and F, as well as a number of other vitamins and
minerals. Vitamins A and E help to soothe, hydrate, and balance
the skin. They also provide skin collagen, which assists with
wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Vitamin F contains essential
fatty acids and helps protect and revitalize damaged skin and
hair. Shea Butter is an intense moisturizer and is a wonderful
product for revitalizing dull or dry skin on the body or scalp.
It promotes skin renewal, increases the circulation, and
accelerates wound healing.
