Keeping with long held traditions, indigenous women still turn to the African wild for all their skincare needs. Our Journey for beautiful skin begins in Malawi where growing Fair Trade sugar provides clean water and education for farmers’ children. Evaporated cane juice contains glycolic acid which breaks down dead skin. We whip this naturally grown sugar into an emollient cream made from skin loving, certified organic East African shea butter. This rare butter, also known as nilotica, is sourced from a cooperative of women who live in war torn Uganda. Many of them have escaped enslavement by the rebel army. Their shea butter project has allowed them to buy homes and begin their own micro-businesses. We next travel further north to Somaliland where local women collect leaves known locally as qasil. This traditional treatment adds skin softening and conditioning properties to our luxury scrub.
When in Egypt, do as the Egyptians do, and that is eat guavas, and so Tammie did. The fragrance of ripe guavas sends ones mouth salivating, good for those poor in appetite. Sweet, yet tart, subtly dry, men and women alike love to be pampered by pink guavas. Not surprisingly, Shea Terra Organics was one of the first skin care lines to incorporate nourishing pomegranate seed oil into our healthy skin care products.
Contains only: pure spring water (no recycled water), Fair Trade Malawi cane sugar, certified organic nilotica shea butter, volcanic stone, natural emulsifying wax, baobab oil, pomegranate seed oil, pink guava fruit extract, qasil, naturally based preservative (glucono delta-lactone, sodium benzoate), natural fruit/vegetable coloring
Apply scrub to slightly wet skin. Buff away dead skin in circular motions. Rinse well. Moisturize skin with one of Shea Terra Organics Whipped Shea Butter Body Cre’mes.
