Shea butter is a seed fat that comes from the Shea tree. The Shea tree is found in East and West tropical Africa. The Shea butter comes from two oily kernels within the Shea tree seed. After the kernel is removed from the seed, it is ground into a powder and boiled in water. The butter then rises to the top of the water and becomes solid.
Shea butter works like an emollient. It might help soften or smooth dry skin. Shea butter also contains substances that can reduce skin swelling. This might help treat conditions associated with skin swelling such as eczema.
Eco Lips sources our Shea butter From Ghana - supporting women to develop wealth where there currently is none. The Shea farm has been small community-owned for generations and is sold through various farmers markets in Ghana. The women working there have formed a cooperative of sorts made up of 575 of different women groups. Collectively, the workers produce more than 35 tons of fresh, naturally processed Shea butter per month!
