  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.

We buy Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil from the Candela co-operative in Peru. Trade has helped to protect 3,000 hectares of rainforest in the Madre de Dios region. The sustainable harvesting of Brazil nuts helps to support indigenous species that depend on the Brazil nut tree, such as the orchid bee. To find out more, visit our Community Fair Trade section.
