We are an African shea butter company that channels the profits from our Shea Butter sales to provide micro-aid to small, underprivileged communities in Western Africa. Resources and funds are distributed fairly, without favouring any group or sector within the village.

These products are packaged and marketed throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan via trade shows, the internet, and local community programs.
For those looking to buy pure shea butter or explore African shea butter wholesale, our products are made in an environmentally conscious way, never tested on animals, and cold-pressed without chemicals, filters, or mineral oils.
