Product Description 

Shea butter is a vegetable fat extracted from the sun-dried kernels of the shea tree Vitellaria paradoxa. 


POGBANU SHEA BUTTER is hand-processed using traditional processes by Dagaaba women in the Upper West Region in Northern Ghana. The shea butter is extracted naturally without the use of chemicals or environmentally damaging practices.


Unrefined shea butter is rich in vitamins A, and E, oleic acid, and sterols, and hence a great natural ingredient for cosmetic formulations due to its emollient properties, particularly its ability to soften the skin along with dry skin areas. Some of its applications include the use in 

  • Face and body moisturizing creams
  • Haircare products 
  • Personal care products e.g. lip balms, soaps*, hand creams, shaving, and after-shave creams.

Please note: This shea butter is hand processed without the use of sophisticated equipment. As a result, there will be slight inconsistencies in colour and texture from batch to batch.

“Delivery was fast than expected. Oh wow the smell alone is breathtaking. I can't wait to start using it. By the way 1kg for that price is way cheaper than the ones I’ve seen in some shops. I will order again soon.” Beata K.

“I have tried a ton of different lotions, potions, and balms for dry skin. Coconut oil seems to sit on top of my skin and made it really oily after application - let's just say you could see your reflection in my face. I was just about to give up and lament that fact that my flaky elbows and velcro-textured heels would be part of me forever, until ... SHEA BUTTER! Not only did this help with my skin's dryness, it also left it smooth for hours without an allergic reaction! I've since experimented with adding essential oils to my raw shea. Let the journey begin!

I'm also a huge fan of supporting women-owned businesses as well as those with an added mission: to help communities grow.

Highly recommend this product to anyone with skin and those who would like to know that their purchase is making a real difference to actual people.” Christine B.
