Karité

For years, we searched for a natural skin moisturizer that compared to the raw, unrefined shea butter that we grew up using— to no avail. With diverse backgrounds that include dermatology, marketing, sales, law and economics, we set out to recreate the traditional formulation that eluded us for so many years. As a result, Karité was born. Unlike other shea butter moisturizers that are often formulated with low concentrations of highly processed, refined shea butter (along with a slew of other skin-damaging chemicals and ingredients), Karité's natural, antioxidant-rich, dermatologist-created products feature high concentrations of raw, unrefined shea butter and palm oil sustainably sourced directly from Ghana. We blend these pure ingredients with unrefined organic coconut oil and other plant-based botanicals to create the perfect moisturizer that soothes and heals even the most sensitive skin. All of our products are dermatologist-created and approved, so you can be rest assured they are safe for all skin types. We are also proud to be members of the Global Shea Alliance. Based in Ghana, this non-profit association works to promote sustainability, quality practices and industry standards.
