Where does Shea Butter come from?

Shea Butter is obtained from the natural fat of the fruit from the karite tree in Africa. It is widely used as a moisturizer.  This is one of the "softer" textured butters ~ it melts easily upon skin contact.

The Shea Butter used in Simply Rustic products has not undergone any refining techniques, which means it stills holds 100% of its natural, skin-healing benefits. It has a wonderful creamy-smooth texture and holds its natural scent.  Simply Rustic uses Shea Butter that is sourced from a Fair Trade organization which means the small-time producers are paid a fair price for the time and effort they put into making this butter and they have safe working conditions. As of September 2012, Simply Rustic is using Certified Organic Shea Butter.

What is Wildcrafting?

Wildcrafting is the practice of harvesting plants from their natural habitat, for food or medicinal purposes. It applies to uncultivated plants wherever they may be found, and is not necessarily limited to wilderness areas. Ethical considerations are often involved.

When wildcrafting is done sustainably with proper respect, generally only the branches or flowers from plants are taken and the living plant is left, or if it is necessary to take the whole plant, seeds of the plant are placed in the empty hole from which the plant was taken.
