Cocoa Butter is obtained from Cacao seeds (beans) found in the fruit of the Cocoa Tree grown mainly in South America & Africa.

Gently Refined Shea Butter - can be used as is or included in your soap, lip balm, bath bombs, body butters and melts/massage bar recipes. Shea Butter is obtained from the stones within the fruit of the Shea Tree which grows wild on the Savannah in many West African countries. An important source of income, Shea butter also forms the basis of West African skin and hair care and is revered for its healing and regenerative properties.

Excellent used as is on dry problem skin it is also a very good carrier for other therapeutic products (Essential Oils etc) which are released more readily in Shea Butter than in some other oils/butters. Refined Shea Butter has a longer shelf life than the unrefined version which can be prone to rancidity. As a testament to its properties, the use of Shea Butter within the wider cosmetics industry is fast increasing.
