Traditional
Shea butter is a revered skin and hair care staple with deep roots in West Africa, where it has been used for over 2,000 years. Often called “women’s gold” for its cultural and economic significance, shea butter plays a vital role in the lives of many African women. The process begins with harvesting nuts from wild shea trees, which are then boiled, sun-dried, cracked open, and roasted. The roasted nuts are ground into a paste, mixed with water, and carefully kneaded by hand to extract the nutrient-rich butter.
Modern
Today, shea butter is globally recognized for its unmatched moisturizing and skin-protective properties. At Amola, we source raw, unrefined shea butter directly from West African women’s cooperatives, ensuring authenticity, sustainability, and impact. Each jar of Amola’s whipped shea butter carries the legacy of tradition, care, and ancestral wisdom—reimagined for modern rituals.
