Consumers and brands are prioritizing natural, ethically sourced ingredients like shea butter and cocoa butter, which align with consumers’ rising demand for clean products. These ingredients stand out for their:

• Sustainable and Ethical sourcing: Sourced from renewable resources, supporting community empowerment (over 4–5 million West African women earn income through shea nut harvesting while our Cocoa Butter RBD is upcycled from beans that are not suitable for e.g. the cocoa powder industry, providing additional income to farmers).

• Science-Backed Efficacy: Proven shea butter benefits (anti-inflammatory,-protective, emolliency) and cocoa butter benefits for skin (collagen-boosting, emolliency).

Shea butter, sourced from Ghana’s shea trees, is renowned for its 4–8% unsaponifiable content, rich in triterpene alcohols like lupeol and butyrospermol. Key shea butter benefits for the skin include:

• Soothing Properties: Suppresses key pro-inflammatory markers and inhibits inflammatory pathways, focused on offering relief for sensitive or irritated skin.

• Emolliency: shea butter offers emolliency, making it ideal to be used in body butters and creams.
