Sustainably sourced coconut oil and shea butter take this natural soap to new heights of luxury. Renowned for its emollient attributes, shea butter locks in moisture and is suitable for all skin typesWhether you have dry or sensitive skin, this soap can help to nourish you. Shea butter contains Vitamins A & E which can soothe some skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It has also been shown to protect against UV damage.

The source of our shea butter is Baraka Shea Butter, a small Canadian/Ghanaian family-owned business. The women who make Baraka Shea Butter in Ghana do everything by hand, using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Baraka Shea Butter offers natural, unrefined and fair trade shea butter. Our pricing is reflective of this high-quality product.
