The Body Shop

I've always loved shea butter. Rich in vitamins, it keeps me hydrated from head-to-toe. And at The Body Shop, they've sustainably sourced Community Trade Shea butter from The Tungteiya Women’s Shea Butter Association in Ghana since 1994. Women from the community handcraft 390 tonnes of Shea butter for The Body Shop every year using an 18-stage process passed from mother to daughter for generations. Not only is it an incredible process, but it empowers women, their families, and their communities.

From lip balm to hair masks, The Body Shop utilizes shea butter in just about every product you can think of! My go-to is their Shea Body Butter. It smells like a dream, it keeps my skin hydrated for hours and hours, and you can even use it in your hair! Do you guys have any DIY shea beauty recipes you follow? I may get crazy and try one soon (despite the fact that I am really not the DIY type).
