Shea Butter (large)
An intensive natural moisturiser rich in vitamins A and E provides relief for very dry and chapped skin.
Our butter is bought in its unrefined state from the fair trade certified Akoma women's cooperative in Ghana, West Africa and is of the finest, creamiest quality. Earth ovens are used to roast the shea nuts, which are then ground and mixed with hot water into a paste resembling chocolate cake mix. Then cold water is added, the mix is brought to the boil and the separated shea butter, looking like vanilla ice cream, is scooped into big bowls ready for use.
raw butyrospermium parkii (shea butter) produced in the traditional way by Akoma, a womens cooperative in Ghana. Their shea butter is certified fair trade and organic.
"Really nice to find an unrefined shea, much better than the refined one I used to use. Its nice and creamy, sometimes quite hard if its cold but once rubbed in its great. "

"This is a great product. After years of trying hundreds of creams for my very dry scaly skin, a friend introduced me to this godsend - it is the richest cream ever and really does the job. "

"I love it, i only got it today but i\'ve used it on my hands already and
it just melts. It softens my skin better than anything else i have ever tried
before. The smell is something i will have to get used to but that\'s fine as
i have found a miracle moisteriser. I\'m now ready to sample everything else
from Laughing Bird. Thanks for great and quick service."

"I bought your product when I was pregnant with my son, my skin became so sensitive to any fragrance and chemicals even essential oils that I found this as a one stop moisturiser, from scalp to toe it just worked for me. A little rich for the face though, but great as a cleanser (just don't rub it off too hard!). I love it and will buy another as it has finally run out. Thank you to all at laughing bird, the ethics behind the beauty venture makes the product even nicer to use. Jo x "

"Both my 3 year daughter and I have really bad eczema and both react to the usual chemical filled moisturisers foisted on us by the consultants. In an effort to find alternatives I finally found your unrefined Shea Butter. What a godsend! To have just the right consistency I add olive oil and a few drops of tea tree oil and hey presto - our skin is moisturised, calmed and smooth. After decades of problems I can honestly say that this treatment is the most effective I have found (and believe me I have tried everything during the last 40 years). And the teatree oil gives the mixture a very pleasant aroma too! Give it a go and "spread" the news! "

"I only found out about this product because I used to work at a printers and we printed their labels a few times. So I ordered some to see if it would help my eczema. Well I can honestly say it works over night! ...I massage some onto the red sore area before bed and by morning it's nearly healed it for me! Such a great product and one i'll definitely carry on using for life. "
