From Ghana to your skin

Unrefined shea butter has been used by women in Ghana for generations and was a natural part of everyday skin, hair and body long before it became an ingredient in modern skin care. Our shea butter is made according to traditional methods by women's cooperatives in Ghana, where knowledge and craftsmanship are passed down from woman to woman. It is a raw material that has carried with it both care, tradition and everyday utility for generations.

Shea butter is extracted from the kernel of the shea nut and is naturally rich in fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin E. In Ghana, it has long been used to soften the skin after bathing, care for dry hands, protect pregnant stomachs and provide extra care in everyday life. The same raw material has also been a natural part of the home and used in cooking, making shea butter more than just a skin care product, it is a tradition.

What is shea butter good for?

Shea butter is especially good when the skin needs softness, protection and a little extra care. It is often used on dry skin and in hair care, and many people also use it to soften pregnant bellies, care for the skin after childbirth, give extra care to sensitive areas and as part of everyday care for genital problems. It has also traditionally been used before childbirth and during the postpartum period. For many skin types, unrefined shea butter is perceived as low-comedogenic, meaning it often works without clogging pores.
