Buy fair trade Shea Butter in Australia

Our organic refined shea butter is extracted using traditional West African methods, it's fair trade, and supports the women of Ghana. To create the butter, the fat is extracted by boiling up the nuts in water, then grinding into a paste until the oils start to separate. 

This butter is refined by a process using clay which produces a white, odourless Shea butter. This makes it a great base for skincare and cosmetics as the colour is white, and has little odour.

Shea butter melts at body temperature and easily melts into the top layers of the skin.
