Community Fair Trade shea butter

Intensely nourishing for dry skin and hair

Shea butter has been used for generations to help Ghanaian women protect their skin from the dry Saharan winds. Its rich texture and high fat content makes it intensely moisturising, which is good for skin and good for the community. Every 200ml tub of Shea Body Butter is packed with the butter of 36 shea nuts. It’s a lot. We counted.

We’ve been working with Tungteiya Women’s Shea Butter Association in Ghana for over 25 years. Over 600 women from the association use traditional techniques handed down through generations to handcraft the shea butter that fills our favourite Body Butters.

It was our founder, Anita Roddick, who started this partnership, and it’s something we’re really proud of.

Discover the Shea range

Our trade provides a fair price and financial independence for the women. We also pay a premium to invest in community projects, and today over 45,000 people benefit from the social fund – including healthcare, sanitation and education projects.

This is a different product to the Shea Body Butter and I feel some of the reviewers here were expecting something different/have not been using this correctly. My mum loves this product so much that she bought me some for Christmas and… what a treat and what a miracle product. I’m so busy and am often lazy about moisturising but use this for a pamper every so often (softens nicely when rubbed vigorously in hands especially if they’re warm after a bath) and it transforms my skin straight back to silky soft, especially after exfoliation. I’ve used it on dry patches from my face to my feet and it’s wonderful. My mum also uses it in her hair, which I’ll try next as I’m confident it’ll help the itchiness I sometimes get on the scalp. Body Shop, please don’t ever stop selling this. It’s magic!
