The Purely Shea® Story

ALL SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTS ARE NOT EQUAL!

THE HISTORY

Our story actually begins thousands of years ago when pure, natural, unprocessed, and unrefined shea butter was used by ancient Egyptian royalty such as Cleopatra for its miraculous healing powers. European aristocrats later discovered this natural wonder about 200 years ago and began importing it to Europe.

As shea butter usage increased throughout the world, many skin care companies began using hexane, a hazardous and toxic petroleum by-product, to cheaply extract a greater amount of shea butter.

Also, numerous skin care companies began "refining" the shea butter by dangerously bleaching and deodorizing it; neutralizing it with toxic lye; and over-heating it to very high temperatures.

 

PHARMACIST DEVELOPED

Purely Shea® was developed by a pharmacist who suffered from severe skin rashes as a result of using harsh hand cleansers in a hospital pharmacy.

Countless products were used to help the condition, including refined shea buter, but nothing seemed to help.

A family friend suggested the use of Pure Unrefined Shea Butter instead to provide relief. And then something amazing happened-3 days later the rash was gone.

The pharmacist was in awe and wondered why the previous refined shea butter did not work like the Pure Unrefined Shea Butter did.

After much intensive research, it was learned that ALL SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTS ARE NOT EQUAL! In fact, most commercially available shea butter products lack the vital healing factors needed to provide true therapeutic benefits. This is because they are chemically extracted using dangerous petroleum by-products (hexane), and dangerously refined by bleaching, neutralizing with toxic lye, and extreme over-heating. 

Purely Shea® was created to tell the true story of shea butter.

100 % Pure Unrefined Certified Organic Shea Butter that is unprocessed, naturally extracted, as well as fairly traded is the foundation of this powerful healing and therapeutic skincare system.
