is the shea butter Fair Trade?

Our organic importer that we use (due to the consistent high quality of the product) is not able to provide fair trade product to us so no the product is not certified fair trade.

I received a little over 2 pounds of Shea Butter, I'm sure the extra weight is just for the packaging.

Yes, this is the same one I purchased from the same distributor, only I paid $10. Mine was advertised as containing shea butter. It is wonderful!!

Good question. Wish I would never have bought it. Unable to contact the company "Perfect Body Harmony". The shea in the jar is gritty. I have bought the bar from them and it is great. However, the shea in a jar is an awful product.

yes, the coloration in shea butter can vary a few shades and it is still perfectly fine.that kind of thing happens with raw products that haven't been melted down and mixed.

Hi there, thank you for contacting us. The jar contains 100% raw unrefined Shea butter, there are no other ingredients or chemicals used while processing or packing our butter. Shea butter originates from the nuts produced from the Karite tree in Africa.We hope this answers your question if you have any further enquiries please feel free to contact us. Take careChemekx

Hi TroyThank you for contacting us and asking such a valid question. While the Shea is totally organic there is no paperwork to prove it because it is so hard in Ghana to obtain such documents.It is illegal to do anything with the Karite Tree which is where the butter comes from including putting chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides on it. Even if the chemicals were available, of which they in most cases are not, these harvestors could not afford them or there would not be any financial benefit of doing this since no one individual owns the trees.I hope this answers you question please feel free to contact us again if you have any further queries.

Sorry Melaine but I can't answer that question for you. I do have the leave in conditioner and the hair food. Both products have shea butter in the listing of ingredients. The hair food has the consistency of shea butter. All I know is that my hair which is loc was incredibly soft.

Hey Carmen, I bought some a couple weeks ago. This Shea butter is nothing like store bought Shea. My Shea butter was very soft, smooth and minimal debris. I will say best Shea butter I've had so far.

it says certified organic shea butter on the lid. I don't know for sure about the side label. This stuff is great. I recommend the lime/coconut. I am not easy to please I love it.

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. the list price is incorrect. The product is offered from Beautogen for a little bit over $22 FREE shipping.

It is very clean, and that is about all I can say. I have no experience with buying shea butter prior to this, and no additional information about is grade, bio fraction levels, or mercury content were provided.

"Real shea butter has a hint of a nutty smell. It is a bit difficult to describe. It is not full of fragrances like the cheap stuff you get in Walmart or the chain stores but it works much better. I had never tried it prior to using this brand and I like it...especially since its organic.

I have been buying this Shea butter for years. I can tell it is unrefined because it still has the debris. I love how soft it is and easy for me to whip. I only know what I see and feel and it has been the greatest for me. I do know from research that the ivory is the purest of the Shea butters.

Not all shea butters are the same. I believe the nuttier smelling variety is more pure and better quality. The ivory is almost always better than yellow. Because of the increasing popularity of it; some sellers have been selling lesser quality shea butter. The nuttier scented variety is always the rawest and less refined .

I was wondering the same thing... From their website.... "We pay our African communities more than their fair trade rate and are very happy and proud of that because they work really hard and we love them! However, we have not applied for the Fair Trade Certification yet, but are hoping to be able to do this by the end of this year".
