+ How do you make Shea Butter?

Eu’Genia’s supplier, Naasakle Ltd, works with its cooperative in Northern Ghana to harvest the shea fruit. Once the fruit is soft, they remove the shell from within, boil it, crack it, and extract the nut. The nuts are then hand sorted to ensure excellence (they’re very picky, up to 25% of nuts simply don’t make the cut). The lucky few are then cracked again for even roasting. After roasting, they are ground and kneaded with water, which forces shea’s moisturizing oils to separate from the matter. Remove the oils and boil them to separate it further. Naasakle Ltd does this process twice so that the resulting shea butter is as pure as possible. Next reduce the heat to allow water to evaporate and then filter again. Once Naasakle Ltd is happy with the quality, they stir until the shea begins to cool and thicken. It’s now ready for Eu’Genia to handle and mix with love!
