| Shea
Butter &
The Karite (Shea) is a tree crop that grows in the Savanna Grassland on the West Coast of Africa. The tree grows to a height of about 55-60 feet. Millions of delicious shea nut fruit are harvested in the rainy season during the months of May/August. At the end of the season, when the nuts dry and fully cured, they are threshed and picked to separate the white nuts from the yellow nuts. The white and yellow shea nuts seeds separated during this process, have different characteristics, although produced on the same branch during the season. In West Africa, where there are no mechanical grinding machines, large, wooden mortars are used to pound the nuts to a powder. The grinding process is the most tedious in the production system because the shea nut is as hard as a pebble. The powdered shea nuts are boiled for 4-5 days in extra large clay pots. The effervescence is collected and 100% Natural Shea Butter is the end product. The white shea nuts are processed separately and will produce white shea butter (off white color). The yellow nuts produce yellow shea butter (yellow color). If and when the producer does not take the time to separate the nuts before processing, the end product will not be shea butter. The butter produced from such a process is very corrosive butter that cannot be applied to the skin. The process of making shea butter was developed in Africa by our forefathers and the technical know how handed down from generation to generation. It has therefore become a tradition of the Land and a culture of the people which is embraced because it enhances a good health and a better living.
Use with Shea Butter Black Soap to enhance good health and well being.
