The strong, unpleasant odor of shea butter is then completely removed using a state of the art vacuum extraction method.Many companies use chemical bleaches and deodorizers to refine their butters. These methods further deterioate shea butters natural properties, create more environmetal instability, and unnecessarily expose the end user to possible carcinogens.

Shea butter comes from the nut of the fruit from the karite tree found growing in West Africa. Natives have been using shea butter for beautiful skin and hair for generations. The butter has many natural skin benefits including natural sun protection. In Africa it is rubbed all over the body and hair to protect the skin and hair against rough elements. Many customers have told us they started using shea butter for skin ailments upon recommendation of a friend. We hear remarkable testimonies of how shea butter has helped to heal scars after surgery or even lightened scars many ears after they occur. We have also heard testimonies of personal friends who have used pure shea butter to sucessfully combat eczema. And whether its hot or cold, natural shea butter offers ultimum skin care protection (not to be used in place of needed sun screen in some individuals).

There are several methods of extracting and cleaning shea butter, which consumers need to be aware of. Some suppliers go out of their way to ensure a completely natural product, while others are only concerned with the end product- a high quantity of shea butter. Some butters have been solvent extracted. This means that they are extracted using chemical solvents such as hexane. Our butter is naturally expressed. It is extracted by crushing the nuts and then using heat to realease the butter. The second step of importance is the cleaning method. Shea butter that is not cleaned or "refined" may contain many undesirable impurities and is more susceptible to hazardous growths. Many companies use chemical bleaches and deodorizers to refine their butters. These methods further deterioate shea butters natural properties, create more environmetal instability, and unnecessarily expose the end user to possible carcinogens. Our butter is cleaned using a multi meshing system to take out the dirt and then soaked through fullers earth, a white clay, to take out impurities making the butter a pure, white color.
