Behind each batch are the skilled women of Sabruka Shea Village. Their work carries generations of Ghanaian shea-processing knowledge into the care you bring home.

Ayebea’s Sankofa Marketplace buys directly from Sabruka Shea Village Foundation. Choosing our Sabruka-sourced shea butter helps sustain that direct purchasing relationship.

This is a softer type of shea butter than the other brands I used.

Natural Shea Butter — Sustainably Packaged in Wheat Straw Jar

Store owner replied: Thank you, Lisa! Yes, our shea butter is the real deal; traditionally made in Ghana and unrefined, so the texture can vary naturally. I love that you noticed how soft and creamy it is!

Simply put...my skin has not been this soft and moisturized since I was born...almost 60 yrs. ago! All of Sankofa's products are sustainably sourced and created by artisans. I fully support the products and the purpose! Works on all skin types in my household!

8oz Natural Shea Butter — Sustainably Packaged in Wheat Straw Jar

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for such a beautiful review, Teresa. I’m so glad the shea butter has been keeping your skin soft and moisturized, and I love knowing it’s working well for everyone in your household. Your continuous support of the products, the artisans, and the purpose behind Sankofa means so much. I truly appreciate you!

The shea butter is great and as described. Very moisturizing and works better to heal chapped skin than most moisturizers I've used. I liked that there was an option for a more environmentally friendly container! Which I've not seen before. It seems like a small amount but 8 oz will last a very long time. I do feel the thickness of the butter however is better to apply to the body than the face
