Organic Shea Butter

Story & Essence

Pure. Powerful. Profoundly nourishing.

Sourced from the heart of Burkina Faso, our Organic Shea Butter is handcrafted through the traditional barattage method — a slow, ancestral process passed down through generations of women artisans.

Each batch is made by hand in small cooperatives where women gather, grind, and whip the nuts of the shea tree into golden butter — rich, authentic, and alive with heritage.

Certified Fair Trade and Ecocert, this butter embodies Lafi’s mission: to uplift women, preserve tradition, and share the gift of pure, unrefined care with the world.

Signature Scent

Naturally nutty and earthy, with warm undertones of the African shea fruit — raw, grounding, and comforting.

The scent is proof of its purity and untouched essence.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

• 100% Raw Organic Shea Butter (Fair Trade & Ecocert Certified)
• Rich in vitamins A, E, and F, it deeply moisturizes and protects.
• Supports elasticity, smooths texture and helps soothe dry or sensitive skin.
• Retains its full nutrient profile due to minimal processing.
• Traditional Barattage Extraction — Preserves the butter’s authentic aroma, texture, and color variations while maintaining maximum nourishment.
• Natural Note — Color may vary slightly from batch to batch, reflecting the natural cycle of the shea harvest. Due to the artisanal extraction process, tiny traces of natural debris may appear — rare and harmless, a sign of true craftsmanship.
• This butter can be consumed as well.

Texture and Finish

Thick, buttery, and indulgent at first touch, our Organic Shea Butter melts beautifully into the skin, transforming into a soft, velvety oil.

It leaves the skin deeply moisturized, healthy, and glowing, with a natural satin finish that lingers in warmth and comfort.

Who It’s For

For those who seek authentic, organic care — gentle enough for infants’ skin, sensitive skin, rich enough for dry or textured skin.

Perfect for those who cherish the purity of nature and the power of tradition.

Because it is pure and food-grade, it may also be used in formulations such as body butters, lip balms, or hair masks, and safely consumed in its natural form.

How To Use

Scoop a small amount and warm between your palms until it melts.

Massage gently into hair or clean skin, focusing on dry areas.

Use daily as a ritual of nourishment, protection, and connection — from the women’s hands who craft it, to yours.
