Take care of yourself, wisely

Prendre soin de soi, judicieusement
Hi to you,

Yes, I care about you… and the well-being of so many other women!

I would like to speak with you on a subject that is close to my heart: the impact of our consumer choices.

To do this, I want to talk to you about shea butter.

You'll see where I'm going with this...

Shea butter has been a prized ingredient for centuries for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It is ubiquitous in the cosmetic and skin care industry. However, few consumers realize the critical importance of shea butter provenance in relation to both the ethics and quality of the product.

Did you know that..
Shea butter production is often a vital source of income for communities in West Africa, particularly for the women who harvest and process the nuts into butter? Opting for ethically sourced shea butter ensures that workers are treated fairly and compensated adequately. By choosing brands that support these ethical practices, you contribute to the economic well-being of local communities and encourage fair working conditions.

The origin of shea butter directly influences its quality. Factors such as climate, soil and processing methods can affect the chemical composition of butter, determining its effectiveness in skincare products. Premium shea butter typically comes from sources where the nuts are harvested when ripe and processed with traditional methods to preserve their natural benefits.

In short, your choice of shea butter is not limited only to the benefits it can bring to your skin and hair. By supporting ethical sources, you support the sustainable development of communities and by promoting quality, you offer your body the best possible treatment. Before you buy, take a moment to find out where the shea butter used in your favorite products comes from – you'll see that every choice counts.

In all conscience,


Pink
