Shea Butter is one of nature’s most nourishing treasures, cherished for centuries as a moisturizer for healthy skin and hair. At Dr. Woods, we celebrate its unique ability to hydrate, protect, and restore skin naturally. Its natural versatility makes it a cornerstone of our health and beauty products.
Our shea butter is certified organic and fair trade, sourced exclusively from small, women-owned cooperatives in West Africa. By supporting these communities, we ensure sustainable harvesting practices that empower families while preserving the natural integrity of the Karite tree.
Shea Butter comes from the nut of the Karite tree, which grows across West Africa. Once a year, the tree produces its fruit, the Shea nut, which is handpicked, boiled, and pressed to extract its precious oils. These oils are then carefully solidified into raw, creamy shea butter. At Dr. Woods, we use only raw, organic shea butter to retain the highest level of its natural therapeutic properties.
Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, E, and F, shea butter supports healthy collagen production, soothes irritations, and acts as a natural UV protector. Its creamy, restorative properties make it an effective treatment for skin irritations and inflammatory conditions.
