Our organic unrefined Shea Butter, traditional hand crafted by local women’s co-operatives in Ghana.  

Our Organic Shea is called “Hippo Shea” as it comes from the Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary, a hippo conservation area in the Upper West Region of Ghana. This initiative to organically harvest Sheanuts is in collaboration with the Calgary Zoo (CZ), the Nature Conservation Research Centre (NCRC) and the Sanctuary Management Board (SMB) of the Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary (WCHS). The success of the initiative relies on education, eco-tourism and increased benefits reaching communities in the area, who in turn learn to better understand and respect biodiversity conservation and to protect the last remaining natural population of hippos on the Ghanaian stretch of the Black Volta River.

Shea butter is wonderful for you skin, especially in winter months when skin can get so dry.  Our Shea Butter is an edible grade butter, we believe edible grades are better than cosmetic grades for your body and skin, after all if you can eat it, it must be the best for the outside too!  Perfect on it’s own or mix it up with our other oils homemade body products.

Note that our Shea butter is unrefined which means it has the smell of natural shea without added scents.  However, this means it has all the highest amounts of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals for your skin.
