Why Unrefined Shea Butter is the Gold Standard

Why Unrefined Shea Butter is the Gold Standard

At Karité, we don’t cut corners, especially when it comes to what touches your skin.

That’s why our hero ingredient is raw, unrefined shea butter: nature’s powerful skin healer, used for generations across Ghana.

Unlike processed shea butter, which is often stripped of nutrients and treated with chemicals, unrefined shea retains all of its natural goodness, and your skin can feel the difference.

Here’s why we never compromise:

  • Nutrient-dense: Unrefined shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants that help nourish, repair, and protect your skin — naturally.

  • Intensely moisturizing: It penetrates deeply to hydrate from within, while strengthening the skin’s barrier to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.

  • Gentle for all skin types: Free from additives, fragrance, and harsh chemicals, it’s safe for babies, expecting moms, and anyone with sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

  • Responsibly sourced: We partner with women-led cooperatives in northern Ghana who harvest our shea using traditional, sustainable methods — preserving cultural knowledge and supporting economic empowerment.

The result? Stronger, healthier, more radiant skin, without compromise.
