Why Shea
Nigeria?
Amongst many reasons to buy Shea Nigeria, here are our top four reasons to embrace Shea from the worlds largest exporter – Nigeria
Global Shea Leader
Nigeria leads the shea industry, contributing 45% of global shea production and 53% of global shea butter output. Home to the largest shea tree belt spanning 21 states, Nigeria has a production capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes of processed shea butter annually, ensuring a consistent, high-quality supply to meet international demand.
Unmatched Purity & Quality
Our shea butter is 100% natural, organic, and unrefined, offering 42-48% oil content for superior hydration and versatility. With a balanced mix of solid fat (stearin) and liquid oil (olein), Nigerian shea is ideal for skincare, haircare, pharmaceuticals, and food applications. Its exceptional moisturizing, healing, and protective properties make it a preferred ingredient for high-performance formulations.

By gathering only naturally fallen shea nuts, we ensure premium quality while preserving Nigeria’s vast shea tree belt.
