  Shea Butter

  Our Community Fair Trade shea butter comes from Ghana. Local women hand-harvest shea nuts, dry them in the sun and crack them to extract the kernels. These are roasted and ground into a paste to make the butter. Our trade with the Tungteiya Women’s Shea Butter Association has helped to fund three medical centres and 10 nursery schools. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section.

The Body Shop® difference: In Ghana, the shea tree is known as the “tree of life”. We can see why. For the women who make the Community Trade shea butter in our Strawberry Puree Body Lotion, it’s the means to an unbroken education for their children, food on the table, a roof over their head, and a voice in their community. Through the Premium Fund, it’s also providing basic literacy and numeracy training for them, and a chance for women from different villages to come together to share their experiences and feel more empowered.
