Additional information

Use in Cosmetics

"AYEYA Shea Butter is a non-toxic and non-irritating material derived from renewable natural resources. It is easy to use within cosmetic formulations, and because of its unique fatty acid composition it readily melts at body temperature, making it
a very attractive emollient for many skin care applications, such as baby care products, skin care products, massage creams, and make-up. This product is an excellent ointment base that releases medicaments faster than vegetable and animal waxes. It is quickly absorbed by the skin, acts as a re-fatting agent and has good water binding properties. "

FAIR TRADE, NOT AID

What is Fair Trade?
All too often farmers and producers in economically disadvantaged countries are exploited and paid absurdly low wages. Fair trade certification means they receive a greater percentage of the price paid by consumers. For example, Ayéya pays 15-25% above market price for shea nuts. Cooperative members also receive a salary more than 3x the average family income in Togo.
