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.
