Shea butter is an oil/butter extracted from the seed of the African karite tree, Butyrospermum parkii, which grows wild on the savannahs of West and Central Africa. Shea butter is commonly used to alleviate dry skin, itching, and scarring, as well as to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Historically, shea butter has also been used as a substitute for dairy butter in recipes.

Sneaky Toxins in Your Skin Lotion

Did you know that anything you put on your skin can be absorbed into your tissues and your blood stream? In 2010, Swiss researchers found that 85% of human breast milk samples contained dangerous chemicals commonly found in commercial cosmetics and sunscreens—including “UV filters, PCBs, synthetic fragrances and pesticides.”

Since none of these women were eating their makeup or sunblock, there’s only one way the compounds got into their bodies: through their skin.
 
One of our philosophies here at Sunfood is to not put anything on our skin that we wouldn’t want in our bodies. One of our favorite skin care products is our raw, unrefined shea butter — it’s so pure, you can eat it!
 

This oil/butter is extracted from the seed of the African karite tree that grows wild on the savannahs of West and Central Africa. Produced by a women’s cooperative in Ghana to help bring economic stability to the villages, it’s cold-processed and unfiltered so that it retains all of its inherent beneficial properties to beautify and protect your skin.
