IT ALL STARTS WITH A NUT

Our iconic shea range uses shea butter ethically made in Burkina Faso and Ghana. It's a product and a process that does good for local biodiversity and the ecosystem, good for furthering women's empowerment, good for waste reduction and, of course, good for your skin. So, in a way, it's the start of never-ending good.

SHEA IS THE START OF NEVER-ENDING GOOD

WHAT IS THE LINK BETWEEN THE SHEA TREE AND BIODIVERSITY?

Shea trees grow in the wild in eastern and western Africa. They tolerate the hot, dry conditions of the region, and need little water to survive, so they're perfectly adapted to their environment.

In fact, they even play a key role in its preservation: from bees, to birds and local communities, a whole ecosystem depends on them. The shea tree is known as the «tree of life» for a reason.

HOW WOMEN ARE GUARDIANS OF SHEA TREES

Guardians of the Shea Trees? That’s not an exaggeration. For the Women's Co-operatives in Ghana & Burkina Faso, when it comes to the shea trees, their every act is an act of care.

They collect only the ripest shea fruit, & only from the ground, so as to not harm the tree. To make certain of this, they'll even walk much further afield if needed.

SHEA, THE UNIVERSAL PRODUCT

WHAT IS THE MAIN BENEFIT OF THE SHEA RANGE?

Shea nourishes. Our butter is particularly rich in omega-3, omega-6, and karitene. These three components help to soften and protect the skin.

AN IMPROVED FORMULA SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

The new scent is floral and powdery. Although we have updated the perfume base to the creamy and fresh scent of jasmine & ylang ylang, it remains with a Shea DNA, soft & light!

To ensure our Shea face and body creams can be used by the whole family – including anyone with sensitive skin – we’ve improved some of our formulas so they contain at least 95% natural-origin ingredients. They're also formulated without alcohol and respect the skin’s natural pH.

WE'LL NEVER STOP PUSHING TO CREATE MORE NATURAL-ORIGIN AND BIODEGRADABLE FORMULAS

We are going well beyond basic regulatory compliance. We call these commitments our Clean Charter. That's why we have renewed the formulas and scents of our iconic shea face and body creams. Because we know that change for a good reason can be the start of never ending good.
