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.

I've used the Shea Body Butter since 2019. I have dry skin and I found it moisturizing with a great smell. I recently purchased the large container. It's not as moisturizing now. Once this tub is finished, I won't be purchasing again.

Product great, Scent Not so Much

Shea Body Butter

Amanda20
Received Free Product: No

I am not giving it a 1 star because it is a horrible product. The product itself is great. The issue I have is the scent. I have used the kindness and pears , and avocado scented items with no issue. I was disappointed that after trying 2x in combination with the shower gel there was a stronger scent and not nutty that made it so off putting that I can not use. It does not smell like this in the package. Super disappointed because I love Body Shop product.
