Unrefined Shea
Shea Butter is derived from the Shea tree, which grows in the Sahel belt, which extends from Western Africa to parts of East Africa. Shea Butter has been used in these regions for centuries as a hair and skin moisturizer, a healing balm and even for cooking. In most parts of West Africa, newborns are rubbed down with Shea butter from the time they are born, because it is a great soothing cream for baby’s delicate skin. Current research shows that Shea butter used consistently over a period of time softens and smoothes the skin. Shea Butter reduces wrinkles and provides some UV protection. Shea Butter also helps reduce the occurrence of stretch marks in pregnant women. Experience and research have helped us develop unrefined Shea products that maintain their therapeutic and moisturizing integrity without sacrificing the customers need for a pleasant smelling product.
