Agbanga Karite Unrefined 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.
