Collection: SHEA BUTTER

Since ancient times, African women have had an irreplaceable beauty secret: Shea butter. It is obtained from the nuts of the imposing Vitellaria paradoxa, also known as the "tree of youth". The butter, harvested between mid-June and mid-September and processed manually as per tradition, has a soft and malleable consistency, a light yellow color and truly remarkable cosmetic properties:

thanks to the presence of sterols, tocopherols, vitamins A, B, E and F, it protects the skin from climatic aggressions, ensuring nourishment and hydration, it has renowned emollient and antioxidant virtues, it is one of the anti-aging elixirs par excellence.


We at L'Erbolario also wanted to respect the sacredness of this tree and the importance that its processing has in African society. The butter used for the Shea range is sustainably sourced and produced by local communities in Burkina Faso. The harvesting and processing of hazelnuts involves thousands of women, who not only traditionally have the privilege of "protecting" a sacred plant, but who thanks to this occupation can also actively contribute to the maintenance and needs of the family.

It is therefore an eco-friendly Shea butter, the trade of which generates a positive impact on the entire society involved in harvesting and production, thus reducing poverty and ensuring a better future for all.
