Manteca de karité cruda
What it is
Skin Gourmet Raw Shea Butter is 100% pure Butyrospermum parkii, raw and unrefined, absolutely nothing else added. Our shea nuts are gathered from the wild and processed by women in Northern Ghana, then kneaded by hand for a minimum of 40 minutes to create a butter that feels truly rich, smooth, and alive on the skin.
We partner with MyDream.org, an NGO dedicated to positively impacting the community of Bognaayili through improved shea butter processing and other community-support activities.
Why it works for skin and hair (the “how,” not hype)
Shea butter is naturally rich in fatty acids, which is why it’s so reliable for soothed, hydrated, protected skin and hair, especially when dryness shows up.
Naturally occurring vitamins E, A, and F support that comfortable, healthy-looking finish that makes skin feel supple and smooth.
It’s a true multi-purpose staple: it softens skin, helps hair feel more conditioned, and works beautifully as a simple, clean balm anywhere your body needs extra comfort.

Tip
Best when used on damp or slightly wet skin, that’s how you get maximum absorption and that plush, moisturised finish. This blend contains no preservatives, so use a preserving spoon if you can. If you insist on being handsy, stick it in the fridge. Store in a cool, dry place away from water and keep it closed when not in use. If it melts because it’s that pure, just shake it and refrigerate for about an hour.
Chale, this is the OG of skincare.
