Shea butter
Because the shea nut tree only thrives in the African savannah, we had to go further afield to source this wonder of an ingredient! We’re pleased to say that our shea butter supplier has created job opportunities for 15,000 women in rural communities of West Africa; empowering women to earn an income and promoting social responsibility, they use women’s cooperatives throughout Ghana to gather and process the nuts into the beautiful shea butter that is such an important ingredient in our moisturising creams. The company is certified organic and is able to trace each nut back to its original harvest location. The cooperative is also part of the Fair For Life initiative, and supports the Hippo Sanctuary in Ghana, returning a percentage of its profits back to the local ecosystem as well as supporting the education and welfare of neighbouring communities.
