Origins

Shea is the tree on which shea nuts grow, which are then used to make the butter of the same name. By the way, did you know that this tree is also nicknamed the “ Butter Tree ”?

This tree is found only in 21 countries on the African continent , our shea butter comes from a cooperative in Ghana .

It is exclusively women who work in the harvesting and manufacturing of shea butter because this tree is considered sacred and they are the only ones who can approach it. These women have unique ancestral know-how. It is for these reasons that shea is also nicknamed " women's gold ".

Our NAJEL organic shea butter is fair trade . This means that the entire manufacturing process, from harvesting to selling shea butter, respects the rights, working conditions and remuneration of Ghanaian producers. Thus, by committing ourselves to their side, we participate in the development of their independence and better living conditions.

Manufacturing

After the nuts are harvested from June to September, they are shelled to recover only the kernel inside.

These almonds are then pressed manually to extract an oil which, when hardened, becomes shea butter.

Our NAJEL shea butter benefits from the expertise of Ghanaians because it is made in an artisanal way using ancestral methods .

We recognize raw, unrefined shea butter by its slightly yellow color and its delicious smell.

In addition, this raw shea butter is certified organic . No other material is added, which means that it keeps all of these wonderful properties intact.

The fact that it is organic protects the land and the health of Ghanaians but also those who consume shea butter.
