French dermatologists used Shea Oil on 35 people from different age, sex and racial backgrounds for a period of ten days to 5 months. These subjects had all types of skin disorders ranging from dry and wrinkled skin to serious burns and rashes. There was substantial healing in all of the cases, and in some cases the healing was almost miraculous. These clinical trials have all been well documented by the French Ministry of Health.
What makes our Shea Oil different?
Only high quality, unrefined Shea Oil can offer the healing benefits mentioned above. Once Shea Oil is aged or loses its natural integrity through high heat refinement, many of these wonderful benefits are lost. Although moisturizing, Shea Oil that has been over processed, bleached and deodorized, is ineffective in healing most skin conditions. That is why we use only cold pressed, unrefined Shea Oil.
Ingredients: Unrefined Shea Butter and certified organic jojoba oil.
About African Shea Butter
African Shea Oil has been used for centuries for its unsurpassed ability to protect and regenerate the skin. It comes from the nut of the Karite (ka-ree-tay) tree, which grows throughout West Africa. Karite can grow up to 20 meters high, and its trunk can reach up to 1 meter in diameter. It produces its first fruit when it is about 25 years old, and reaches full production at the age of 40-50, and can live up to 300 years. The fruits of the Karite tree resemble large plums, approximately 3-6 cm. The Karite nut is edible and contains 1-3 seeds surrounded by a thin brittle hull. The creamy substance, known as Shea Oil, is produced from these seeds.
What are the Traditional Uses of African Shea Oil?
The name Karite means the Tree of Life, due to the multitude of important uses that Shea Oil provides. In Africa, it is used in daily cooking, and also taken therapeutically for colds and flus In the Yoruba tradition, Shea Oil is the ceremonial food for the orishas: Obatala, Olokun, and Orumila. Shea Oil is used on newborns and infants daily to protect their sensitive skin from irritants. It is also used extensively by the elderly to treat afflictions of the joints and to maintain the suppleness of their skin. Many people use it regularly on their feet to heal cracks made by the dry Sahara dust.
The fruits of the Karite tree are traditionally harvested by village women. The process of making Shea Oil starts with the separation of the kernels from the hulls by pounding them. They are then kept at a low simmer by adding small amounts of water and continuous stirring. The karite is pored into calabashes, stirred, and the impurities skimmed off. This process may be repeated several times until the karite is a creamy white color.

What is in African Shea Oil?
Shea Oil and oil have a high concentration of nonsaponifiable fatty acids which promote cellular growth, helping to restore damaged skin. Other components of Shea Oil and oil include: Keratin, necessary of maintaining elasticity of skin; Triterpenic Alcohols with Cinnamon Esters, which provide protection from UV rays; Allantoin; Resinous Esters, which provide healing and disinfecting properties, Cinnamic Acid, which most directly correlates with clinical effectiveness in healing; high levels of Stearic and Oleic fatty acids, known for their moisturizing qualities, as well as other natural compounds with high therapeutic value.
What sets African Shea apart from other Natural Oils?
The components of most seed oils can be divided into two important categories. The first is called the saponifiabe fraction which contain most of the moisturizing properties. The second category is called the nonsaponifiable fraction, which contain most of the healing properties. What sets Shea Oil and oil apart from other seed and nut oils and butters is its exceptionally large nonsaponifiable fraction; containing important nutrients, vitamins and other valuable phytonutrients required for healing. While having an excellent moisturizing fraction, in most other seed oils and butters the healing fraction is very small, often 1% or less. Shea Oil, depending on the source and processing methods, has a nonsaponifiable fraction of 5% up to as much as 17%. Because Shea Oil has such a high percentage of nonsaponifiables, in addition to its moisturizing qualities, regular use of this natural cream can effectively treat many of the skin problems listed above. It is out of these unique healing properties that the Karite tree came to be known as the Tree of Life.
