I encountered Sheakoro at a party in Onomichi.
I was captivated by its texture, fragrance, and the way it made my skin glow. I always thought that if I ever opened a shop, I would want my customers to use it.
What impressed me even more was that by using this Sheakoro, I would be supporting the independence of women living in rural communities in Mali.

🌿 What is Sheakoro?
"Shea trees" grow in the African savanna. They possess a life force that allows them to survive harsh environments, and they have been cherished as "mystical trees."
This is 100% pure natural shea butter, carefully made by meticulously picking only ripe fruits that have fallen naturally, without sparing time or effort.
It is produced by "Union Kaloji," an independent support cooperative of women in Mali. Their pride and careful handiwork produce this high-quality shea butter.

For a long time, shea butter has been prized as a natural panacea for protecting the skin from dryness, UV rays, wounds, and burns. In addition to skin, it's great for:
☑ Lip care
☑ Hand & nail care
☑ Hair care
☑ Even baby skincare◎

"Shea" refers to the shea fruit, and "koro" means "under the tree" in the Malian language.
The name "Sheakoro" embodies the warm wish to "gather under the tree, form a circle, and share its blessings."

Growing in desert regions, Native Americans have long used it as a panacea for treating wounds and burns, and for protecting the skin from strong sunlight and dryness.
Although called an "oil," its main component is "wax ester," which is also found in human keratin. It blends easily into the skin, prevents dryness, and leaves it smooth. Because it helps retain moisture, it's useful for daily moisturizing care.
It is also used for scalp care and is an easy-to-incorporate oil for healthy hair and scalp care.
