Ingredient Education-ABOUT SHEA BUTTER
Because what we put on our skin matters! I purchase my Shea through Baraka who supplies fair trade product and dignified employment for the woman of Ghana-here is what they have to say about it;
The Wali people of northern Ghana have been making shea butter for centuries. Living on the edge of the Sahara with its dry, harsh conditions meant the hot sun and wind constantly battered their face, hands, and skin.
Today, the women who make Baraka Shea Butter do everything by hand, using age-old techniques passed down through generations from their ancestors. Centuries of practice has taught them how to extract every bit of goodness from the shea nut, and that quality is now passed on in every package of Baraka Shea Butter and all the products made from it.
Every time you purchase Baraka Shea Butter, or any products made with it; you have a direct impact on the women, families, and communities in northern Ghana. We believe we have the strongest and most authentic community impact connection of any shea butter producer in the world, and we take great pride in that.
Known for its amazing skin care qualities, traditionally made shea butter can be used in its natural state, or in product formulations. Our customers rave about how well it works in creams, lotions, soaps, salves, shampoos, and many other recipes.
Baraka Shea Butter is wholesome, nourishing, AAA quality and Certified Fair Trade – no chemicals or additives, no animal testing, no harsh industrial processes. Just pure, natural, unrefined shea butter from our hands to yours.
