Shea Butter as an Essential Skincare Ingredient
The Ancient Origins and Timeless Benefits of Shea Butter
Shea Butter Nuts Tree Growing in Ghana
Shea Butter has become a staple in natural skincare routines and has a rich history that spans centuries. Originating in West Africa, Shea Butter is extracted from the nut of the Shea Tree (Vitellaria Paradoxa), which grows predominantly in The Savannas across the region.
A Legacy of Use
For generations, Shea Butter has been a treasured resource for African communities, used for its moisturising properties, women in these communities would traditionally harvest, process, and trade Shea Butter, fostering a sense of community and economic empowerment.

Shea Butter's Benefits are Multifaceted
Moisturising: Shea Butter's rich content of vitamins A and E, along with fatty acids, makes it an excellent moisturiser for dry skin.

Protective: Helps to shield the skin from the environment, promoting skin health.
Hair Care: Can be used to nourish & protect hair, promoting skin & manageability.

Why Refined Shea Butter?
Refined Shea Butter offers a milder scent and a lighter texture compared to raw Shea Butter, making it ideal for formulas where a more subtle Shea Butter presence is desired. Additionally, the refining process removes impurities, resulting in a more consistent quality & longer shelf life, whilst still retaining many of the Shea Butter’s natural benefits.
At Deborah Harvey (TM) Skincare, we use refined Shea Butter in the creation of all Soap’s & Body Butter’s, allowing the subtle sweetness of natures finest Essential Oils to take centre stage, as a long-lasting alluring fragrance that really does envelope your senses.
