The “COCONUTA” difference
FROM LUXURY RETAILERS TO MAINSTREAM DRUGSTORES, YOU CAN FIND SHEA BUTTER—AND OTHER SIMILAR BUTTERS, LIKE COCOA BUTTER—IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMULATIONS AND PRICE RANGES. SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTS COME AT VARIOUS PRICE POINTS FOR A REASON: THE DRUGSTORE BRAND PRODUCTS ACTUALLY HAVE A VERY LOW CONCENTRATION OF SHEA BUTTER.
COCONUTA SHEA BUTTER, HOWEVER, HAVE 100% CONCENTRATIONS OF SHEA BUTTER COMPARED TO OTHER PRODUCTS.
WHEN YOU BUY A SHEA BUTTER LOTION AT THE DRUGSTORE, YOU’LL LIKELY SEE ALL KINDS OF INGREDIENTS YOU CAN’T PRONOUNCE. THESE ARE OFTEN CHEMICAL ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES AND SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES THAT ARE USED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS OF SHEA BUTTER’S NATURAL AROMA IN HIGHLY-PROCESSED AND REFINED PRODUCTS.
ON THE OTHER HAND (NO PUN INTENDED!), WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT GOES INTO OUR PRODUCT. NO DYES, SILICONES, ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES OR PARABENS HERE. PARTNERING WITH WOMEN-RUN FARMING CO-OPS IN NORTHERN GHANA ALLOWS US TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE AND HOW OUR SHEA NUTS ARE PROCESSED, MEANING WE CAN TRACK OUR BUTTER FROM TREE TO TUB.
The History of Shea Butter
THE HISTORY OF SHEA BUTTER AS AN INVALUABLE SKIN CARE PRODUCT DATES BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPT. QUEEN CLEOPATRA ALWAYS KEPT JARS OF PURE, UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER ON HAND. SHE KNEW THE FINEST BEAUTY SECRET THEN AND BETTER SHEA BUTTER & SKIN FOODS IS PROUD TO STILL BE BRINGING IT TO YOU TODAY.
SHEA BUTTER COMES FROM A NATIVE, WILD-GROWING AFRICAN TREE THAT PRODUCES A TINY, ALMOND-LIKE FRUIT WITH A NUT INSIDE. VILLAGERS SEPARATE THE NUT FROM THE FALLEN FRUIT, THEN BOIL AND LET THE BUTTER FLOAT TO THE SURFACE. THE BUTTER IS THEN MILLED AND FILTERED FOR IMPURITIES, PACKAGED IN BLOCKS AND SHIPPED TO US SO WE CAN BRING IT TO YOU. SHEA BUTTER IS KNOWN AS “WOMEN’S GOLD” IN AFRICA BECAUSE IT IS A VALUABLE SOURCE OF INCOME FOR THE WOMEN IN GHANA. ALL SHEA BUTTER FROM COCONUTA IS UNREFINED, ORGANIC, HIGH-QUALITY AND ALWAYS FRESH FROM GHANA IN WEST AFRICA.
What is Shea butter made of?
SHEA BUTTER NATURALLY CONTAINS BENEFICIAL COMPOUNDS LIKE…
• TOCOPHEROL, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS VITAMIN E, AND CATECHINS, WHICH ACT AS ANTIOXIDANTS
• VITAMINS A AND F, WHICH HAVE PRO-AGING AND MOISTURIZING PROPERTIES
• OLEIC, STEARIC, LINOLEIC AND PALMITIC ACIDS ARE JUST SOME OF SHEA BUTTER’S FATTY ACIDS. THESE ARE EXCELLENT FOR THE SKIN’S BARRIER AND ALLOW THE BUTTER TO MELD SEAMLESSLY WITH THE NATURAL OILS ON YOUR SKIN
Where does Shea butter come from?
SHEA BUTTER IS A PRODUCT OF THE AFRICAN SHEA TREE (VITELLARIA PARADOXA). SHEA BUTTER IS THE FAT EXTRACTED FROM THE SHEA KERNEL. SHEA NUTS ARE A WILD-GROWING, NATURAL INGREDIENT THAT HAVE BEEN HARVESTED AND PROCESSED IN WEST AND EAST AFRICAN COUNTRIES FOR CENTURIES.
UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER—THE TYPE OF SHEA BUTTER USES—HAS NO ADDITIONAL CHEMICALS OR PRESERVATIVES ADDED DURING THE EXTRACTION PROCESS. THIS ALLOWS US TO CREATE SHEA BUTTER THAT RETAINS ALL OF ITS INCREDIBLE NATURAL PROPERTIES.
RAW SHEA BUTTER IS IVORY IN COLOR, BUT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTS THAT ARE WHITE. WHITE SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTS ARE A RESULT OF PROCESSING DURING PRODUCTION. WHEN SHEA BUTTER IS REFINED, IT LOSES ITS NATURAL IVORY COLOR.
UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER HAS A NATURAL, NUTTY AROMA THAT PROCESSED SHEA BUTTER DOES NOT. ADDITIONALLY, FURTHER PROCESSING OF THE BUTTER CAN REMOVE UP TO 95% OF ITS NATURAL VITAMINS!
