TAMA SHEA SOAP
TAMA SHEA SOAP

My rather hectic trip to Ghana in October 2008 included a soapmaking class for members of the shea co-op that I am very proud to support and this is the fruit of their labour.
This is a moisturising bar with 48% of their own pure creamy non-deodorised shea butter. The women have also added a touch of unrefined neem oil which they produce.
This bar also contains locally produced honey and although it is scented with parfum, it does not contain any artificial colours nor preservatives. CONTAINS HONEY

A percentage from the sale of this bar will be donated to the co-op towards community improvements

SHEABUTTER: ~ A luxurious butter extracted from the karité tree native to Africa. The butter is used in Ghana to massage new born babies. We purchase our sheabutter directly from a co-op of women in Ghana who use traditional methods to process without the use of chemicals.


NEEM OIL: Just like our unrefined shea butter, neem trees grow wild in Ghana. The branches are often used as roofing material in northern Ghana. Cold-pressed and unrefined (full of essential fatty acids), this oil is known for its antiseptic properties. A very versatile oil, Neem oil can be used in skincare formulations for dry itchy sensitive skin and also to treat head lice. .

Ingredients
butyrospermum parkii, aqua, sodium palm kernalate, sodium cocoate, azadirachta indica, mel, parfum

SOAP INTRODUCED ON 12.DECEMBER.2009

HERE IS REPOST FROM MY BLOG OF 11.NOVEMBER.2009
2 days ago, I received some pictures and just wanted to share the story behind these with you.
As some of you may recall, my rather hectic trip to Ghana in October 2008 included a soapmaking class for members of the shea co-op that I am very proud to support for the last 6 years and will continue to do so. Well, after so many phone calls with ideas being shared, I finally got a glimpse of the fruits of our labour. I am so proud to be a Ghanaian and even proud to learn that everything [mould, stamp, etc] used in the production is made in Ghana. I also received a picture of a recently erected shed. This was from the donation we made in addition to the money being raised through our shea butter fundraising campaign:
So don't think I am being cheeky next time you see me grinning like a Cheshire cat - I am so proud of these women and of course the men who help to make the tools.
