Every purchase has a direct impact on hardworking women and families in northern Ghana. We believe in creating value chains that make a difference, from the women who make Baraka Shea Butter all the way through to the consumers who use products made from it.
Handcrafted using traditional techniques so you know you’re only getting natural shea butter with no added chemicals. Unrefined shea butter also retains all its amazing skin benefits (over 75% of bioactive ingredients like vitamin A & E can be lost in the refining process).
Shea butter is very nourishing and also acts as an emollient to help protect the skin by sealing in moisture.
This rich butter can help to calm skin irritations such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
High in vitamins and fatty acids, shea butter can encourage new cell generation and boost collagen production. This could help to minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines and stretch marks with regular use.
Shea butter can be used raw and applied directly to the skin for intense hydration. It is also a great butter to use in product formulations for creams, lotions, soaps, salves, shampoos, and more.

Amazing quality
I have used other brand shea butters and Baraka is by far the best. It’s soft and creamy and makes for the best body butter. I use it in all my bath and body products for my small business (Lolly’s Handmade).
This shea butter was smooth, creamy and smelled SO good! I can't wait to create with it! I also love supporting this company. It feels good to know that the people making these products are getting paid a fair wage that can support themselves and their families. I was so happy with it, I made a little video!
