WHERE IT'S FROM
Native to West Africa, the shea tree has been harvested there for thousands of years. The trees’ termite resistant wood only grows in fertile, well drained soils in warm conditions. Nuts from the shea trees are a source of vegetable butter, which has been used as a staple cooking oil in the region for years.
Environmental impact
Sustainable harvesting of the shea tree has been in practice for hundreds of years, simply because the importance of the tree to the locals has continued through time. The trees are respected and maintained by the farmers whose shea knowledge has been passed down many generations.
The popularity of shea provides a stable income to families and villages, and we only work with suppliers who pay their farmers fair prices and have good working conditions.
