Shea Butter comes from an indigenous African tree called Vitellaria paradoxa. These are wild-growing trees producing tiny, almond-like fruits that every May start falling on the ground. Villagers harvest the fruits, separate them from the nut, then boil and let the butter float to the surface. The butter is then milled, filtered for impurities, packaged in huge blocks, loaded on large boats, and shipped to our facility in Austin, TX for manufacturing and final packaging.
