Description
An incredible skin food shea butter is rich & creamy, packed with vitamins A, E & F & pure tree goodness! A natural skin food, shea butter is richly moisturising to dry skin, problem skin and skin exposed to the sun and wind. Nutrient-rich, it is easily applied & so softening! Ideal for parched, hungry or very dry skin it is also great for rubbing into babies bottoms! Brilliant also on lips, hands or on rough elbows, knees & heels.
TIP: Just before going to bed, slather your feet in shea butter, slip on a pair of old socks (to save your bedsheets!) & in the morning your feet will be baby soft!
Please Note: Shea Butter contains a natural substance which is similar to latex & should be avoided by people with a latex allergy.
How to use: Shea butter is a firm butter & is harder during the winter. Keep your shea butter more pliable by storing at room temperature.
It easily softens, so simply take a small amount & soften in the palm of your hand to smooth over dry skin. Apply as often as required!
This unrefined, unbleached & totally unadulterated, this wildcrafted, organic & fairly traded shea butter is produced by a women's co-operatives from Ghana, West Africa using harvesting & crafting techniques that have been used for thousands of years. Free from any chemical processing, this shea butter retains all its natural goodness, creamy colouring & natural nutty aroma. It is a far cry from refined hard, white shea butter which is literally processed to death!
Fairly traded with producers in Ghana, this organic shea butter is an important resource for local communities. The producers harvest shea nuts from wild Karite trees. Over 94% of the producers are women who have extensive knowledge of the butter & its production. Regardless of their indigenous knowledge, women are excluded from mainstream employment because they do not have a formal education. Shea butter provides a valuable & sustainable source of income to these people & ensures better amenities for their communities.

Rated with 2 out of 5 stars.
The delivery was super fast, I cannot complain, but the seal on the bag inside was broken and the bag rolled closed but not secutely closed. It led me to weigh the product and to my suprise it was down by 60g. The same happened with another item I bought for this brand except it was packaged well, but just underweight. Not sure if it was tampered with or if the brand just puts less product than they suppose to?

Rated with 2 out of 5 stars.
Sorry, this butter it's very good In terms of texture on the skin, hydration and smell.
But when I opened the shipping box, I found the butter was very melted and liquid, and the rest of my requests were affected by it. I expected that it was in a sealed box, but it was not, but in a bag that was not completely sealed.Was this rating helpful? (2) (0)

Rated with 5 out of 5 stars.
So great! Smells amazing, it is the best for moisturizing. I make my own products with it and a little goes a long way. Conveniently comes in small square blocks so that you don't have to cut/break pieces off a large slab. I will reorder this product again and again.

I was excited to try the product because there is a big difference in quality in shea butter.
I have bought very bad quality in the past. it had a strong smoky smell and I got bad skin rashes.
After that I started using shea butter nilotica,
always good, but the supply is very scarce.
well.. back to this shea butter. I am positively
surprised! the smell is of course present, but
absolutely not disturbing. It spreads well and my skin responds well to it.
I am a fan and it made me curious about the
other products of akamuti.
