The Shea is an African tree and in Europe is also known as Karité, Galam or Bambrite. Shea butter has been used for centuries on the African continent and is completely enmeshed within the history and culture of the West African wooded savannah.
Shea butter is mentioned in almost all African historical documents, including a reference as early as Cleopatra's Egypt, which mentions caravans bearing clay jars of shea butter for cosmetic use.
The healing, antioxidants, soothing, moisturizing and revitalizing properties make the Shea Butter a very important component for many products.
