What is Shea Butter?

Shea butter is a yellowish or ivory coloured edible natural fat extracted from the almond like fruits of the Shea tree. Deluxe Shea Butter comes from Gumo – Kumbungu district in Tamale located in the Northern part of Ghana. Ghana arguably has the best Shea butter in the world because the nuts have the most desirable chemical balance, and the traditional processing methods create a very clean butter.

Our Shea butter is certified organic and fair trade. We work with women co-operative groups for the processing of our organic and fair trade Shea butter. With your help, we’re growing communities and giving back to the Women of Ghana.
