Natures Soft

Shea Butter is undoubtedly the 21st century solution to global warming and dangerous levels of pollution. Shea Butter comes from one of the best renewable resources in the world. Shea Butter comes from the stone (pit or kernel, mistakenly referred to as nuts) of a green, sweet and fleshy fruit. The fruit trees, mangifolia, grow wild throughout the Savannah, shea belt of Central and West Africa. Women and their children collect these fruits, high in absorbic acid, almost four times the amount found in oranges. They also contain iron, Vitamin B, protein and calcium.

​

After the fruit is consumed, the pits are first par-boiled, then sun dried for 3-5 days before they are baked to complete dehydration. They can then be stored for several years without spoilage. The age old tradition of extracting their soft, healing butter then begins.

​

At present there are so many Shea trees in the belt that supply far outweighs demand. The fruits of most trees are never collected. A great renewable and abundant, natural resource.
