Let us take you into the world of shea butter -- from its origins in the western Savannah regions of Africa where it has traditionally been used for cooking, lamp fuel oil, natural skin protectant and moisturizer and even as raw materials in the building of homes, to its use by African families to welcome their newborn infants into the world with a rub down in this natural oil to protect the babies from the harsh environment, all the way to its centuries-old use by African healers who recognized its properties and uses in the healing of burns, in soothing strains and sprains and more.
