Store Policies

All of our products contain raw, unrefined shea butter. Shea butter is the fatty oil extracted from the nuts of the African Shea tree. We have selected a Shea butter of the highest grade, in its purest form, & fairly traded for use in all of our products.
Raw, unrefined Shea means that it is the highest quality available because it is still in its original form, with a multitude of vitamins, minerals, and proteins still intact.   Most Shea products sold commercially are refined. Refined Shea has a lower quality because
it is highly processed (often with solvents), bleached, and deodorized, filtering out many of the natural healing properties that make it so nourishing.  Refined Shea is white, odorless, and sometimes hard and grainy.
Pure, un-refined Shea has a creamy texture, yellowish-gray color, with a mild nutty scent that diminishes over time.
   Shea has been shown for centuries to help skin ailments such as wrinkles, skin allergies, scars, eczema, psoriosis, dandruff, stretch marks, and other skin irritants. Shea contains an abundance of healing properties including vitamins A, E, unique essential fatty acids, and cinnamic acid, that help protect skin from harmful UV rays.  Shea has demonstrated both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal treatment for painful joints too!
