FairTale GHANA Raw African Shea Butter 6 lbs / 2.77 kg Ethically sourced, 100% Natural, Unrefined, Vegan
UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER HAS SMOKY AND NUTTY AROMA and a golden to light ivory color. The smokiness is a proof that the Shea butter is unrefined and traditionally handcrafted by hard-working women. It is good to keep in mind that only raw Shea butter has truly retained all its precious skin moisturizing properties. Raw Shea butter is a very stable plant fat where all the nutrients are maintained for a long time. Just store your butter in a dry and cool place and there* *ll be nothing to worry about.
Please DON* *T BUY if you want REFINED, snow white, soft Shea butter without the nutty smell. We only carry raw, unrefined Shea butter, which is handmade from start to finish, 100% natural, fully vegan, organic and cruelty-free. If you are after authentic products, please stay with us. *
FAIRTALEGHANA is all about empowering women but during these hard times we decided to support the local artisans as well. We ordered some souvenirs form Accra* *s art center and added a little gift for you into every Shea butter box! It is something little from Ghana, handmade with love and supports families! We believe it fits well with our venture. WE HOPE you* *ll smile and feel the love from all the families who made it possible for the box to travel from Northern Ghana into your home.

WHY RAW SHEA BUTTER Sadly most of this vitamin-rich butter gets refined. Why? The easiest way to reach more clients is to remove the nutty scent and make it softer and whiter. We promised to our clients at the very beginning that we will never refine our Shea butter. We ship it out from Ghana exactly the same way it has been used in Africa for centuries. And it stays like this!
For centuries, people have relied on Shea butter to keep their skin young and healthy in all weather conditions. The healing powers of the butter have been legendary. Shea butter gets mentioned in nearly all African historical documents. In Cleopatra's Egypt, caravans were carrying jars of it solely meant for cosmetic use. Today, Shea butter is fighting wrinkles and making people smoother kissers both near the equator and the poles.
How to use this magic? Let it protect your skin from the environmental damage, against the harsh winds and cold. Allow it to naturally moisturize you (Ah, it's so perfect for those sore lips and cracked heels!). Got a bit sunburned? we've got you covered, literally! Use it for restoring the natural shine of your hair. To use it, rub a small quantity of raw Shea butter in your palm until it melts. And then just apply it to your skin or hair or mix it into your own hand creams, lotions and body butters.
SHEA BUTTER - Food for skin. Fuel for thought. Millions of women across Africa have employment and peace of mind thanks to Shea butter. For the women in rural Ghana, making this luscious moisturizer also counts as their main source of income. These women share a common dream - to send their children and grandchildren to school. This is why we get gigglingly happy about every single client! For each client who chooses FairTaleGhana, more women in the world can live independently.
ETHICAL TRADE - The Beauty of a Balanced Business. Just like you, we believe in fair business where both producers and consumers take home the benefits from their product. How to get there? To start, the butter makers need to begin receiving their fair wages. And this is where you and I come in - we can all start with paying attention to where our Shea butter comes from. This is a simple but powerful step in making sure that those involved receive their fair share.
