The Body Shop® difference: Our Brazil Nut range is made with Community Trade shea butter, bought from an association of over 400 women in northern Ghana. The fair price they receive has changed their lives, providing the means to access fresh drinking water and send their children to school. But it’s more than money. The empowerment of working together has given the women respect from, and a voice in, their community, which is priceless — without a doubt.

For centuries the women of Ghana have used cocoa butter to moisturize and cool their skin in the African heat. Since 1995, The Body Shop has been buying cocoa beans from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana, a fair trade co-operative with over 30,000 small-scale farmers. The money made by the co-operative enables the development of community projects such as schools and village wells in addition to providing the farmers with income to support their families.

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 400 women from 10 villages, we ensure a fair price for their product.
