The production of Organic Shea butter is a key driving force behind the economy of several West African nations. However, most of the shea butter sold in the United States and Europe is not fairly traded. Countless women labor daily to produce quality organic shea butter, yet they receive less than a penny of the final retail value. In fact the average woman will be paid less than $1.00 for a full days work.

When consumers make a conscious decision to buy fair trade organic shea butter products we send a strong message to those who would profit from the exploitation of the vulnerable.
