Established in 1912, family-owned and operated SheaMoisture was built from the ground up over four generations; the business began when the Sierra Leone-based daughter of healers, a widowed mother of four, needed to support her family so she made handmade Shea butter, African black soap and other natural remedies to sell at a local market. Her salves and soaps were soon sought after across the country; today, as they were from the start, each product is natural, eco-friendly and organic. The company's products are made with love for you and your body using certified organic and natural ingredients; products are made at a factory in New York while the iconic Shea butter is ethically sourced from women's co-ops in Northern Ghana.
