There is a small soap factory right next door to our Shea Butter Cooperative. As we were able to see for ourselves, the hygiene standards were at European level.

After my wife had already tried the special quality of Black Soap in the better hotels, it was clear to us that this soap would go particularly well with fair shea.

The black color of Baking Soap comes from the fact that the ash of banana tree leaves is used for saponification during production, as has been the case for hundreds of years. This makes the soap absolutely natural. The best oils used for Black Soap make it particularly nourishing. But then we were a little surprised that in addition to 70% of the best coconut oil and 25% shea butter, it also contains 5% palm oil. The soap maker couldn't understand our typical European objection to the evil palm oil. "Without the palm oil, the black soap becomes much too hard. And the oil grows around the corner. No jungle was felled for this"

The only problem was the assembly. After we noticed during the tour of the production that the soap was shaped very individually, we talked about it for a long time. We actually had to agree that 10g is more or less pretty petty and that no one in Africa gets upset about it. Nevertheless, we thought we had made it sufficiently clear that unfortunately things work differently in Europe.

We were surprised when, after 3 months, we received bars of soap weighing 60g - 160g.

We sorted the Soaps then in 3 Cathegories: 85g-100g. 100g-125g and more then 125 g

  • Shea for the paws

    Shea butter is be benefical for your pet. For example it protects (dog) paws in the winter against salt. We have also successfully used Sheabutter in the summer holiday, after a strenuous hike over the top of the peaks and stones or after a beach day at and in the sea. Our dog, who usually does not like to be touched at his paws, enjoyed it visibly. He seems to have liked the Shea butter. He always licked our hands with enthusiasm after the cream.

  • Shea Butter conditioner

    A canditioner out of  shea butter provides the hair with important care substances, which penetrate deep into the hair and regenerate and strengthen it. The treatment prevents hair breakage and gives the hair suppleness and shine.

    There are now many recipes with shea butter for hair care.

    I myself prefer ingredients that are actually available in every kitchen and which have a good effect.

    For a hair treatment before the hair wash I take:

    2 tablespoons of shea butter
    2 tablespoons of olive oil
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon of honey

    The amount is good for medium to long hair. For short hair, shea butter can also be used pure.

    Eggs are nutritious for scalp and hair. The yolk contains above all healthy fatty acids and lecithin, which have a particularly moisturizing effect. There is a lot of protein in the egg white which improves the elasticity of the hair and makes it appear shiny.

    For centuries, olive oil has been used as a conditioner for the treatment and regeneration of damaged hair. The contained

  • Consistency of Sheabutter

    Consistency of Shea Butter depends strongly on temperature. In sommer on warm days it can become very soft and even liquid. In winter days it will be quite hard, if you have it in your hand bag. You can use  a spoon or similar to get little pieces out of the jar. These will become soft again in your hands. If temperature in your appartment is to low, you can store the shea butter on a rediator. Shea Butter is used to higher temperatures out of its "homeland" Africa and will not be damaged by moderate heat.
