Prairieland Herbs - Natural handmade herbal bath & body products from Woodward, Iowa.

Thanks for purchasing one of our shea butter products! We use unrefined, certified Fair Trade shea butter (sometimes referred to as karite, or karite butter) imported from Togo, Africa. The butter is completely natural and hand-processed by the Togolese women without the use of any chemicals.  They harvest wild shea nuts and extract the nut butter using age-old traditional processing methods. The women hand-process the shea in small batches, producing a very high-quality shea butter.  It is not bleached, subjected to high temperatures, or solvent-treated, as many "refined" shea butters are. Purchasing this FAIR TRADE shea butter means you are contributing to the economic, environmental, and social well-being of communities in Togo. We are proud to support our shea butter suppliers, and pass along their excellent product to you! 

Shea butter Is an all-natural product, and may, over time, become slightly grainy or "bumpy". This is completely natural and does NOT affect the quality of the product. Simply rub into skin as usual and the "grains" will dissolve.
