Shea Butter
comes from the karité (which means "life") tree in South Africa. It
grows naturally in the grasslands of west and central Africa and does not need
any special cultivation, nourishment or pesticides. It takes at least 25 years
for a shea tree to produce large number of fruit. About the size of a small
avocado, the fruit of the karite trees are harvested and collected, usually by
the women villagers. The fruit is eaten and the 'nuts' or seed kernals inside
are saved for their creamy medicinal shea butter. Shea butter is one of the
world's most sustainable natural resource, using no chemicals; shea butter is
extracted by a century old process to preserve all the beneficial properties.
Today, shea butter is acknowledged all over the world for its nourishing,
enriching and toning properties for skin and hair. http://silkbodycreme.blogspot.com/
