Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. It is usually ivory in color when raw, with more processed versions being white in color. It is widely used in cosmetics as a
moisturizer, salve or lotion. Shea butter is also edible and is used in food preparation in some African Countries. TBT sources shea butter and shea nuts and supplies both local and international
