  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: Shea butter is one of nature’s great moisturizers. Ghanaian women have used it for centuries to protect their skin from the dry Saharan winds. So who better to buy ours from than the Tungteiya Shea Butter Association, northern Ghana. An association of around 436 women from 11 villages, we ensure a fair price for their product. Since trading with The Body Shop, the women have been able to dramatically change their lives with water pipes and wells, saving hours of water collecting, as well as better housing, medical care, food and self esteem.
