Ethical Sourcing

Empowering Women throughout our Supply Chain

Our core ingredients – organic shea butter and virgin coconut oil – are sourced from women’s cooperatives in Ghana and Burkina Faso. With our supplier, The Savannah Fruits Company, we’re fortifying long term partnerships across West Africa.

Local Sourcing

The Savannah Fruits Company works with local, women-led cooperatives in West Africa to source handcrafted ingredients.

Organic Ingredients

We purchase organic and Fair for Life certified shea butter and virgin coconut oil for our products.

Fair Wages

In addition to organic and fair trade premiums, we pay an extra premium to the women who hand make our shea butter. This represents an 89% increase in revenue for the women in the cooperatives.

Long Term Investment

We are working together to fund infrastructure and technology to empower women to improve their livelihoods, while positively impacting the environment.

"Together with SheaMoisture, we support hundreds of women’s cooperatives across West Africa... Most women in the cooperatives are now able to send their daughters to school, whereas before they could only afford to send their sons… helping to break women and girls out of the poverty cycle."
