Producing this creamy butter is an extensive process: The nuts are washed and dried after being extracted from the fruit; crushed and toasted to form a paste; mixed and washed with water to purify; heated to separate the fat from the oil; the fat is skimmed, the oils settles and hardens; the hardened oil is our Shea Butter. We prize it for its moisturizing and emollient properties due to its abundance of fatty acids which creates soap bars with a creamy, conditioning lather.
