The essence of ori (Shea butter) and natural oils for your hair.

Shea butter is a fat, which is obtained from a tree in Africa, known as the African Shea Tree. Oleic acid and stearic acid are the two fats from which shea butter is extracted. Some common uses of shea butter includes its use as a lotion and moisturizer. Shea butter is also used in place of cocoa butter.

The shea butter is extracted from the shea nuts present on the shea trees. First of all, an oil is extracted from the nut. Expertise are required for the process of extraction and African women are experts at extracting shea butter. To reveal the fruit, the outer pulp is firstly removed.

The outer shell of the nut is then cracked. After that, with the help of mortars and pestles, the nut is crushed. Once the nuts are finely crushed, large pots are used to roast the nuts. The nuts are constantly stirred while being roasted, in order to avoid burning.

After that, water is added to grind the nut into a paste. To separate the oils, the paste is formed into a uniform mass by pressing, stretching and folding with hands. The oils then take the shape of curds, which are melted in order to remove excess water. From here, shea butter is removed and allowed to cool, to make it hard.

After the process of extraction is completed, the shea butter is passed through four main procedures, which are refining of shea butter; bleaching the butter; deodorization and degumming.
