100% Natural Shea Butter Our 100% natural Shea Butter comes from two Pheul villages in Eastern Senegal and Salémata, a true gem of purity. The nuts are collected from the forests of Eastern Senegal and Guinea Conakry, where women authentically and traditionally prepare the Shea Butter by hand, ensuring hygiene and respect for age-old methods. This premium quality butter is produced at a specific time of year, just after the nuts are harvested. Description Rich in vitamins A, E, and F, along with latex, our Shea Butter provides intense nourishment that deeply hydrates both skin and scalp, even for the driest skin types. While widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, its nutritional benefits in cooking are less known. In many Western countries, Shea Butter is utilized in the food industry to enhance chocolate flavor and soften confections, listed as "fat" in ingredient lists, contributing to its low profile. Process Overview Collect ripe Shea fruits and nuts that have fallen naturally from the tree. Remove the pulp from the fruits and sort the good nuts for processing. Spread the depulped nuts in a dry, ventilated area for up to 4 days if immediate thermal treatment isn't possible. Wash the nuts thoroughly to remove impurities and eliminate any bad nuts (rotten, sprouted, immature).
