SHEA IS ALL ABOUT WOMEN

Our founder, Olivier Baussan was at an airport when he heard about Shea butter for the first time, over 30 years ago. As he learned the story of this sacred tree, its nuts harvested exclusively by women, he decided to change destination and take the next flight to Ouagadougou.

Since then, we’ve worked together with the women of Burkina Faso to help them achieve their business goals and economic independence, and bring you 100% fair trade, sustainable, organic Shea products. So, you can feel good knowing that while our Shea range protects your skin, it’s also helping to protect the interests of over 10,000 Burkinabé women.
