The process of extracting shea butter is time consuming and is carried out by the women of West Africa providing a valuable income. First the nuts are collected once they drop off the trees between the months of May and July before the onset of the rainy season. Then the outer husk is removed, the de-husked nuts are then transported sometimes many kilometers and usually on foot to a compound where they are then boiled in large pots to make it easier to crack the shells.....They are then laid out in the sun to dry before pounding them to release the nut inside the discarded shells are used as fuel. Then the fat is boiled to separate the clear oil that is the butter. As this oil cools it is beaten to turn it into the pure unrefined shea butter. It is very important when buying shea butter to use on ones skin that you buy the unrefined product as all its vitamins remain intact- there is a slight odour but it dissappears quickly once applied.........
