Origin of Organic Shea Butter

Unrefined shea butter is the all-natural, unprocessed butter extracted from the sheanut which is only grown in Western Africa. Our raw, organic shea butter has not been chemically refined or extracted in any way; instead it is carefully hand-crafted by a women’s cooperative in Ghana to ensure that local communities are empowered and enabled. Pure shea butter is also called karite or sheanut butter.

Storage of Organic Shea Butter

Shea butter should be kept away from direct sunlight and sealed tightly, to prevent any moisture building up in the container. It is perfectly fine stored at room temperature and does not require a refrigerator. Despite not containing any preservatives, shea butter can last up to two years as an effective moisturiser.
