The shea tree, also known as Vitellaria paradoxa, is the source of shea butter. It's a slow-growing tree that can live for centuries and produce nuts for up to 200 years. The nuts are about the size of almonds and contain two kernels, which are where shea butter comes from. Shea butter has been used for centuries by people in Africa for its many health and beauty benefits. It is a natural moisturizer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Shea butter is also used in cooking and soap making.

Today, shea butter is a popular ingredient in cosmetics and hair care products around the world. It is a valuable source of income for many people in Africa, especially women who traditionally harvest and process the nuts.
