Sheabutter has been used for centuries in Africa, for its unsurpassed ability to maintain and protect the skin from environmental damage. It is used externally to protect the skin from sunburn, and eczema, as a skin rejuvenator, and for its exceptional healing qualities in scalp and hair care. Sheabutter is also used in the manufacturing of high-quality swiss chocolates, and as a base for high-quality cosmetics, and in the aromatherapy industry. All shea butter products are normally manufactured manually, and principally without the use of chemicals or bleaching agents. We can organise white label packaging on request for clients
