The magnificent hardy Shea (Karite) tree grows on the dry soils of West African Savannah. A hardy tree not unlike the oak, the Shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii Kotsch) grows up to 15 to 20 meters high. It usually lives a couple of centuries, covering vast areas. The dark green foliage is dense during the rainy season. Shea tree is the only Sapotacea on the dry soils of the African Savannah. Its odoriferous brownish flowers bloom in winter. Shea butter is completely enmeshed with the history and culture of the wooded Savannah between Senegal and Nigeria. It is the link between the gathering civilization and agriculture: a product that grows and is harvested in the wild and processed for year long conservation. The fruit, similar to a small avocado, with a tasteful pulp contains a nut which kernel yields the precious butter by crushing. Our Shea Butter is obtained exclusively by traditional crushing of Shea nuts in the villages of Burkina Faso. The impurities are removed by a treatment with hot water. It is then neutralized and refined by a physical process. Shea butter is a staple of African pharmacopoeia. It is used as a decongestant, for its draining properties and as an anti inflammatory against arthritis and for soothing strains. It is also a wonderful healing agent, accelerating cicatrization of wounds and burns.
