Shea Butter - Organic and Gently Refined

Shea Butter (Organic, gently refined & fairly traded) - Butyrospermum parkii (refined)

Sourced from a socially and environmentally responsible project in Ghana that partners women and wider communities in Ghana.  The project provides employment for many women and contributes to local healthcare and education. 

This shea has been gently refined using methods approved by the Soil Association.  It produces a 'cleaner' butter that has been filtered and is much lighter in colour, has a lower odour and a slightly firmer texture (although not as firm as our standard refined wild harvested shea butter).  It is wonderful incorporated into creams, balms, soaps & lotions.  There are lots of recipes that use shea butter in our resources and Members Recipes.

Shea butter contains vitamins and other active elements such as cinnamic acid, which can help protect the skin from UV rays as well having healing properties.  It also contains 5-10% phytosterols, which help to stimulate cellular regeneration and growth.  It is highly moisturising and protective having mild anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
