Shea Alchemy

Average Vendor Rating
0 out of 5

We are a tiny, handmade company based in York and Crouch End (we actually make the creams ourselves in the kitchen!) We make over 30 different products and sell online worldwide and at markets. We have opted for the market/online route so we can keep our prices down and our batches small and genuinely hand made. We LOVE shea butter. It comes from the nut of the karite tree which grows wild in Africa. In its unrefined, pure form it is a brilliant skin moisturiser and healer - excellent for dry skin, wrinkles and eczema. We get it from a Fairtrade women’s co-operative in Ghana and it arrives in big, luscious pale brown slabs. To make a soft, easily absorbed cream we mix it with organic apricot, olive, grapeseed and avocado oils, aloe vera, organic cocoa butter and all sorts of other organic goodies. Naturally no nasty stuff. We sell online, and normally, when not in a COVID lockdown, at Made in Yorkshire markets, Green Markets in York, at Festivals including Green Belt and WOMAD and at Broadway Market every Saturday in London.
