Naturally healing, globally helping
There's nothing quite like the healing and restorative qualities of traditional shea butter. Known as African gold, shea butter is treasured both for its incredible moisturizing power and for the economic opportunity it brings to communities in Africa.
Although all shea butter starts with nuts from the karite tree, not all shea butters are the same. Out of Africa makes its body washes, lotions and oils from unrefined shea butter. This means they maintain all of the best, natural antioxidant properties for which shea is renowned, and never contain the chemical additives you don't want or need. As a result, Out of Africa's skincare products are smooth, never greasy, and smell wonderful.
Another quality that sets apart Out of Africa is its focus on helping local communities. Victor and Debra Lulla, who founded the company with African soap maker Gilles Adamon, are committed to improving the lives of the people of Benin, West Africa, where their shea butter is handmade. They provide jobs, of course, but their commitment doesn't end there.
Victor and Debra work with women's cooperatives in the area, and they donate a portion of their proceeds to School Children Unite, a program that is changing the lives of children in Benin through education.
Out of Africa delivers precious protection for your skin - and a better future for its producers. That's a combination we can't resist.
