\nA LITTLE HISTORY<\/strong>
\nShea butter is extracted from the fruit of the shea tree commonly known as the butter tree, an emblematic tree found only in the savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. This tree with an impressive longevity (nearly 3 centuries) begins to produce its fruits between its 12th and 25th year. According to ancestral tradition, only women could approach this sacred tree to harvest its fruits and make butter, which quickly made shea butter an exceptional and exclusively female know-how. Renowned for its moisturizing properties, it is now an essential skincare product in many beauty routines.<\/p>\n

HOW IS SHEA BUTTER MADE?<\/strong>
\nThe harvest: each year, from June to September, the female shea nuts are then dried in the sun before being crushed with a pestle or a mill. In some areas, women roast the nuts after drying in the sun. They are then shelled to keep only the pure almond.
\nProcessing: the delicately harvested almonds are ground until a thick paste is obtained and then mixed with water. This step allows the impurities to naturally detach and settle at the bottom of the tank. The butter, which remains on the surface, is then collected and kneaded before being cooked for a long time at a very low temperature (the aim being to keep its properties). The water evaporates, giving way to the oil which will be manually filtered through cheesecloth and then packaged.
\nOnce at room temperature, this oil hardens and turns into a solid but melting butter. Thus was born the traditional shea butter.<\/p>\n
