Shea is a livelihood crop for women across Northern Ghana.
We try to behave like it.
Shea butter is often sold cheaply and commodity-style. SBC's product is the same raw material other brands use — but packaged, fragranced, and presented in a way that respects both the end customer and the women who made it. The price reflects the whole chain, not a markup for its own sake.
The new retail pricing and site-driven demand are what let us grow from 120 active producers toward the 350 trained and waiting. Growing this business grows their incomes. It is that simple, and that direct.
SBC is not a dropshipped brand. The jars on the shelf were filled in Ghana, by people we can name. The 100%+ margin isn't a secret — it's what lets us pay producers above market and still grow. Fragrances came from customer demand: Coco Vanilla emerged as the clear favorite; Orange is the bright alternative.
The Shea Shop at Kotoka Airport was one of our first wholesale customers. We're bringing them back.
The supply chain, in three numbers
A promise in three lines.
- 01
No medical claims
We say “used for” or “loved for,” never “treats,” “cures,” or “heals.”
- 02
No inflated producer counts
The numbers on this page are the numbers. If they change, this page changes first.
- 03
No certifications we haven't earned
We'll show the paperwork when we have it — and until then, we just won't say it.
