Unrefined Shea Butter

African shea butter has a long and rich history in Africa, where it has been used for centuries as a natural skin and hair care product. The shea tree, also known as the Karite tree, is native to Africa, and the butter is extracted from the nuts of the tree. It is a highly sought-after ingredient in the cosmetics industry and is known for its moisturizing and healing properties.

The history of shea butter dates back to Ancient Egypt, where it was used to treat skin ailments and protect the skin from the harsh desert climate. In the African continent, shea butter has been used for centuries to protect and nourish skin, hair, and nails. It is also used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin.

The benefits of shea butter are numerous. It is a natural moisturizer that is rich in vitamins A and E, as well as essential fatty acids.

Empowering Women

The production of Shea Butter in West Africa is an important part of Benin's economy, and it has been used for centuries to nourish the skin and hair of the people living there. However, it is also an industry that has been dominated by men, leaving women without the same economic opportunities. To address this issue, there is a growing movement to empower women in West Africa through the production of Shea Butter.

The production of Shea Butter is labor-intensive, and it requires a great deal of knowledge and skill. By providing women with the necessary training and resources, they are able to take part in the production process and become financially independent.
