Agbanga Karite unrefined shea butter is a beautiful
creamy butter that is made traditionally under fair trade and organic
guidelines. Agbanga Karite shea butter is not extracted using hexane
or other chemicals, bleached, or deodorized. We do not add preservatives,
yellow coloring agents (natural or artificial), or other additives
to our unrefined shea butter. We make and bring it to you fresh
in its purest & most natural state.
Like all premium unrefined shea butters, it has a
characteristic nutty scent, which disappears after a few minutes
when rubbed on skin. Unrefined shea butter is a very versatile active
ingredient for skin and hair care products, and has excellent anti-aging,
soothing and moisturizing properties.

Agbanga Karite Shea Butter and Empowerment
Over 94% of Agbanga Karité members are women
who did not have the opportunity to receive formal schooling. Yet,
our women have extensive knowledge in the indigenous production
of shea butter. This knowledge is what makes Agbanga Karité
shea butter so distinctive.
For example, this photo shows a group of our women
stirring the shea oil as it crystallizes. This is a delicate and
critical process, and the wrong rate and method of stirring can
create air pockets in the butter. Most unrefined shea butter producers
will eliminate this step, since the butter will crystallize without
it and it can take up to six hours to get the desired consistency.
However, we think this is one of the most important points in the
shea butter process, since it is what makes our butter so exceptionally
creamy.
Regardless of their indigenous knowledge, these women
are excluded from Togo's formal employment sector because they do
not have formal educations. When you buy Agbanga Karité pure
unrefined shea butter, you are giving value and recognition to the
skills of these women. You are also helping to alleviate the gender
income inequality. At the same time, you are receiving a beautiful
and healthy shea butter at a competitive price.
