Shea Butter - Refined

Shea Butter, like all other natural products has a natural smell. It does not look like, smell like or feel like Cocoa Butter. They are two separate things. They are extracted differently. They do not come from the same tree. Shea Butter comes from the African Shea tree found along the West African Savannah region. It is a wild growing tree that produces tiny almond-like nuts from which the Shea Butter is extracted. The tree itself is not cultivated and takes 40-50 years to mature. In most parts of West Africa, destruction of the Shea tree is forbidden due to economic health and social benefits. Shea Butter is a valuable source of food in Africa. Indeed many herbalists in Africa regard Shea Butter as an invaluable agent for external and internal body purification.
