“When it comes to unadulterated skincare, not all Shea creams, lotions and skin salves are created equally.”
Unrefined Shea butter, with its slightly smoky smell and silky feel on the skin, is a yellowish or ivory coloured natural fat extracted from the almond-like fruits of the Shea tree. Grown along the West African savannah, this fruit is considered a skin-loving botanical and is celebrated by the locals for its cosmetic, nutritional and medicinal purposes.
Now a staple in today’s western culture, family-owned and Adelaide-based company, Deluxe Shea Butter, are educating Australians on the healing qualities of this multipurpose skin salve, while pioneering West African fair trade practices, sustainability and environmental conservation efforts.
