WHAT IS SHEA BUTTER?
African Shea Butter, "Butyrospermum Parkii," is a fatty extract removed from the nuts of African Karite trees. Growing wild along the African Savannah, Karite trees produce tiny nut-like fruits that take approximately 50 years to reach maturity. Once ripened, African women from local villages, harvest the Shea nuts, using a labor intensive, pain-staking slow process, all in order to extract 100%, natural Shea butter.
This process has occurred for hundreds of years throughout Africa. Processing this also edible fruit is a deeply engrained, ancient part of Africa's history. It has been reported, that as far back as Cleopatra's reign, Egyptian caravans commonly transported treasured jars of Shea butter, for its cosmetic benefits and other varied uses.
Shea butter is also a highly valued commodity in European countries, where it is used in the manufacture of exclusive, upscale chocolates. It has only recently attracted the attention of many US cosmetic, food, Science, medical, and healthcare industries because of it's proven beneficial healing and biological properties.
