Fairly traded shea butter doesn’t just mean a source of income for someone who dearly needs it, it is the magic answer for dry, chapped, and oversunned summer skin. Most fairly traded shea butter contains no parabens or preservatives, like the more expensive moisturizers that it replaces.

The Aleffia Agbanga is a certified fair trade organization for Shea Butter. Its members are compensated fairly for their labour and produce fine quality shea butter through their efforts that is 100% natural. Here are some online outlets that also sell fairly traded shea butter. I have horribly dry skin, and just a little bit of shea butter does for my skin what an expensive moisturizer has ever done, especially on places like heels and recovering sunburned skin. Buying it online is the best way to go so you can get it unrefined and in a good quantity.

Snowdrift Farm
This outlet sources fair trade shea butter from Ghana. They sell it as an ingredient in soapmaking, but you can use it for any purpose.

Coastal Scents
This outlet also sells unrefined shea butter which is obtained directly from the processor in Ghana.
