Where does our shea come from?

The shea used to make SheaLuxe TRTM is sourced from our Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program. Since 2009, Kolo Nafaso has focused on the alleviation of poverty, and empowerment of the women who collect shea through direct trade, interest-free micro credits, education and training. To date, nearly a quarter-million women have benefited from taking part in the program.
