 The Organic Fairtrade supply chain in Burkina Faso: "Women's gold"
Our shea butter is sourced from an Organic Fairtrade supply chain in Burkina Faso as part of a fair trade agreement with a number of women's cooperatives.
Burkina Faso is a very rural country: shea butter is its 3rd largest resource after cotton and livestock.
Unfortunately 95% of shea kernels are not processed into butter but are imported by multinationals, looking to minimise production costs and therefore happy to buy the raw materials (shea nuts) at a derisory price in order to process them on an industrial scale. Processed in this manner, shea loses many of its beneficial properties. Organic Fairtrade shea butter from Burkina Faso is produced by three African women's organisations (in Pô, Tanghin Dassouri and Réo). These cooperatives are places of learning and solidarity for the women who pool their resources in order to develop a community business activity that will generate revenues, which are then redistributed fairly to all members of the group. The Fairtrade supply chain offers these workers material support together with training and a fairer income.

The raw material is purchased from our partner who has initiated a Bio Fair trade sector in Burkina Faso. We have guarantees with respect to working conditions and the support of the women of the cooperative because the fair guarantee of our shea butter obeys precise and rigorous rules and controls: the ESR standard (Fair, Solidarity, Responsible) of ECOCERT. We were also able to obtain information on the actions undertaken there as well as photos of the living and working conditions of these women.

Use
