Fair Trade, Raw African Shea: Certified, Grade A Shea Butter, "Butyrospermum Parkii" - is a fatty extract removed from seeds of African Karite trees. Used for hundreds of years in Africa and Europe, it  has recently attracted the attention of many US cosmetic, healthcare, science, and food industries because of it's beneficial healing and biological properties. AromaKaye has offered certified, Grade A, raw shea butter before it became a cosmetic fad. Why? Because certified shea butters are the only proven premium Shea Butter products in the US, as reported by the American Shea Butter Institute, in Columbus, GA. Our butter is therapeutic grade, clean, and lab tested based on strict ASBI standsrds. No need to stress about effectiveness, additional cleaning, or possible contaminants with us.  We are proud to offer what we consider to be the best butter on the market, and yes, we want you to be confident in your purchase because our butter has received the highest score possible: Grade A. Premium African shea butter is the only shea that has been proven to be effective for ASBI's "21 Reasons to Use Shea Butter." Summary: Our shea has a wonderful texture with a light nutty smell that diminishes minutes after rubbing it into the skin; it' is moist and spreads readily, absorbing fast with your body's temperature . Simply scoop a small amount from your jar, rub it between your hands, and apply to external dry areas. That's it!  Wonderful for creating upscale bath and beauty products, or for personal use straight from the jar, when only the best will do.  Need more info.?
