Shea butter is sustainably extracted from the kernels of African Shea Trees and then hand-whipped to perfection, enriched with Vitamin E, and imbued with the essential oils. Proven to nourish, regenerate, soften, and protect dry, dehydrated, healing, and sensitive skin and hair - Shea is the most versatile, multi-functional and reliable care product you will ever own.

Q: What can I expect from “Shea”? (Why is Shea Brand whipped shea butter different from body butters?)

A: Shea, unlike body butter, is designed to be thick and solid to the touch – as raw, organic shea butter is meant to be. Our whipping method breaks down the cell walls of the raw shea butter, making it generally more inviting to the skin. We never melt our shea butter, and only 1% of our product is diluted when we include Vitamin E and essential oils. This is why Shea stays on your skin longer (which in turn creates a protective barrier), and then absorbs rapidly enough to disappear without leaving your skin feeling too greasy. A little goes a long way, and as you continue using it, Shea becomes increasingly soft to the touch. Shea was created to be that distinctive happy medium among skin nourishment and protective products that is as nourishing as the best lotions and as protective as Vaseline - but shouldn't be confused with either.

• 100% natural origin, organic shea butter 
• Never-melted and hand-whipped
• Enriched with regenerative, anti-aging Vitamin E (also a natural preservative) ​ 
• Fatty acids replenish important lipids and strengthen cell membranes in the skin 
• Thick, reliable and protective, yet soft and rapidly nourishing

While Shea is something new and distinctive, it is – at its core – a recasting of a natural material that some cultures have been using for hundreds of years. The extracts drawn from Shea Trees are the basis of an African cultural staple and export industry.

We believe our Shea will not only improve the quality of life for millions of people yet to discover the boundless healing and protective powers of raw shea butter, but that our efforts will broaden and strengthen a fair and transparent shea nut and shea butter value chain.

From rural Ghanaian parklands where our shea butter’s kernels are sustainably harvested to our basement in Brooklyn, where we hand-whip each batch, lots and lots of care and love has been put into every Shea tin.

The Shea Brand team is committed to connecting our brand to the greater Shea butter eco-system in a way that's both responsible and meaningful. As a company, we will constantly be looking for new ways to be better serve our customers and our stakeholders around the world.
