Ingredients
Shea Butter (butyrosperum parkii) comes from the shea nut, found inside the fruit of the Karite (Shea) tree. Our fair trade, unrefined organically grown Shea is from a co-operative in Burkina Faso, (near Guinea). After the shea fruit is harvested, the shea nuts are extracted without the use of chemicals, dried, then processed into shea butter. Shea Butter and can take up to 30 years to bear a quality crop of nuts with a high content of irremovable fatty acid. It is this irremovable fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique soothing and skin rejuvenating properties. Shea butter also contains vitamins A & E. There are neither preservatives nor coloring agents added, and like all natural shea it has that beautiful, characteristic nutty scent. Unrefined shea butter is a very versatile active ingredient for skin and hair care products, and has excellent anti-aging, soothing and moisturizing properties.
Shea butter provides natural protection, although the level of protection is extremely variable, ranging from none at all to approximately SPF 4-6 . Sun-sensitive persons should not rely solely on shea butter for protection. Shea butter absorbs rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling.
Emu Oil has been used for thousands of years by the Aborigines of Australia. We use unrefined, natural emu oil that has not been boiled or clay filtered. Scientific studies have verified that Emu oil has unique soothing and cosmetic properties. Emu oil is often referred to as ‘liquid gold’ and nature’s ‘perfect emollient.’ This complex oil is non-toxic, Emu oil’s diverse benefits are being discovered and investigated worldwide. It is phenomenal in its moisturizing, hydrating and soothing properties. See Earth To Body’s Emu Oil for all its skin wonders!
Lemonseed Extract (citrus medica limonum) is a bio-citrus extract used as our natural preservative controlling bacteria and fungi.
Testimonials
"I order your Sheamu Butter all the time and I notice that it can vary from batch to batch. I did what you suggested and really played with it in the jar until it was super creamy (like mashed potatoes!). I had to hold it a bit longer in my palms to melt but once it was melted it spreads beautifully. It is worth the effort and the results are fantastic. My skin is never dry. "

"I am undergoing chemotherapy and my skin is unbelievably dry. I met you at a craft show and you suggested I try your sheamu butter as it spreads far, is excellent all over the body, and that I would benefit from both the emu and the shea. You would not believe the difference in my skin. My oncologist is so amazed she is recommending it to her patients. Thank you making such a pure natural product"

Because our Sheamu butter is unrefined, not deodorized, and left in its natural state, it may require a small amount of ‘whipping’ into a creamier texture, and a gentle melting in the palms of the hands before applying on the skin. It only takes a few minutes to be absorbed into the skin and will not leave the skin feeling greasy. Superbly hydrating!
Best kept cool, if not used up within 5-6 months!
