Talking Shea Butter

Shea Butter







Last count we were at 36 uses for shea butter, an all-natural beauty-enhancing product. Shea is truly a miracle gift to our bodies straight from Mother Nature.





Origins:
Shea butter is a substance derived from the African shea tree. This is a tree that grows wild in the West African Savannah region. The nuts from the Shea tree are crushed and processed, yielding a vegetable fat known as shea butter. According to the American Shea Butter Institute (ASBI), this fatty extract from the seed of the shea tree contains ingredients that have biological activity, including, but not limited to moisturizing and skin healing properties.



Benefits:
In Shea Butter, the Revival of an African Wonder, a research article written by M. Poheda and L. Sousselier, it was noted that as early as 1940, scientific observation verified that among populations using shea butter, the occurrence of skin diseases was scarce and the population’s skin was exceptionally supple and smooth



In addition to shea butter’s emollient, moisturizing and protecting properties, the ASBI informs us that shea butter contains a vitamin that is essential to the maintenance of healthy skin.




Properties:
Shea butter helps beautify the skin by aiding in the removal of dark areas and spots, blemishes and age spots. Medicinally, it has been effective as a decongestant and contains anti-inflammatory properties, thus aiding in the treatment of burns, sprains and strains, and chronic conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism.



Uses:
Because of it versatility, shea butter has been used in the Motherland for cooking, lamp fuel, the making of soaps and cosmetics and many other purposes.



In some areas, newborns receive their welcome into the world with a good rub down in this all-natural, non-toxic product to protect them from the sometimes extreme African weather.



Of course traditional African healers have used shea butter oils for centuries to treat skin conditions



The American Shea Butter Institute list some 21 reasons to use shea butter. We’ve actually found a few more to add to their list.



Here are the 36 uses we found, broken down into various sub-categories. Of course there is some overlap (i.e. “wrinkle formation” might actually fall in the “prevention” category as well as “anti-aging” but is listed only once).



Another Important Consideration:
In his article, “Making trade work for poor women: Villagers in Burkina Faso Discover an Opening in the Global Market,” Ernest Harsch points out that “the harvesting and processing of shea is primarily an activity of rural women, between 300,000 and 400,000 in Burkina alone. So its earnings directly benefit some of the poorest villagers, in a country classified as one of the poorest in the world.”



So using African shea butter products can actually enhance the economic stability of women who are involved in the processing of these nut butters

I wonder Black Queen is there a way we here at this forum can produce an economic entity for ourselves investing in the production, processing and importing of Shea Butter from the homeland! That would be one heck of a move. I am not an economics or business type of cat (Black Cat), but I have great money making ideas!

We can always copy what these dudes are doing.


Madina Industrial Corp - M-214 (RAW YELLOW SHEA BUTTER)


They import Shea Butter Directly from The motherland. They sell it unrefined in a brown paper covering or in plastic containers. Most of their competition is black owned stores within walking distance of each other. I have no clue how the other guys even survive wit their products.

Most of the people i see working there are Middle Eastern Arab looking. All the customers are Afrikan looking. Aint that some sh*

They import black soap and a bunch of other stuff.

Their best product besides Shea butter was Dudu Osun Black Soap. OMG!! Its greeeaaaaat! I dont know if something happened but they werent carrying it for a while.

[

I used to go there all the time for Shea Butter and DUdu Osun Black soap cause the prices was great compared to the other guys. They sell a bunch of other products that no one really cares about.
