West African & East African Shea Butter

At AASAI, our Shea Butter comes from East Africa, harvested and hand-made by local women in the village of Koboko in Northern Uganda. Boiled down to the essential, Vitellaria Nilotica is considered more luxurious than its Western equivalent.

The benefits of Shea Butter

When it comes to the skin, Shea butter acts as a powerful antioxidant. It can be used to treat various skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, blemishes, itches and cracks, cuticle repair, sunburn, and scars.
