Origins
The shea is the tree on which shea nuts are growing. They are used to make the shea butter.
This tree is only growing in 21 countries of Africa, our shea butter comes from a cooperative in Ghana.
Women are exclusively working at the harvest and the making of the shea butter because this tree is considerate sacred, and women are the only one who can come close. These women have a unique ancestral know-how, this is also why shea is called “women’s gold”.
Manufacturing
After the nuts harvest from June to September, those are shelled to only keep the almond inside.
Those almonds are then manually pressed to extract the oil which will become shea butter when it hardens.
