Shea Butter

from $15.00

Shea butter, called “women’s gold,” has a long cultural history and many uses. It comes from the shea tree of West Africa, which can reach about 49 feet and takes 20–30 years to mature. The fruit, like a plum, takes 4–6 months to ripen. For centuries African women have used shea butter to protect skin and hair from sun, wind and dust; harvesting and processing traditions are passed from mother to daughter and traditionally only women handle the fruit and tree.

Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities. It helps improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and soothe acne and irritation. Common uses include helping with acne, burns, cracked heels, dark spots, dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, hives, insect bites, psoriasis, rashes, scars, stretch marks and wrinkles.
