Shea Butter, organic source, from

Unrefined shea butter from an organic source, fairly traded with a Ghanaian Woman's Co-operative: Shea butter comes from the kernel of the fruit of the karite tree found growing in arid savannah in West Africa. Shea nuts are first par-boiled then sun dried for 3.5 days before they are baked completely dry. The kernels are pounded to create shea butter which is prized for its moisturising properties as well as being soothing and nourishing to the skin. Used for chapped or dry lips, premature facial lines, dry, flaky, rough or dull skin, chafing, stretch marks, blemishes, blisters and minor scars. It can be used on hands and feet, hair and scalp and also around the eyes. Shea butter is rich in skin nutrients like vitamins A, E and D and it contains a mild, natural sunscreen.
