Okay so recently we took delivery of a fresh batch of Shea Butter from a new processing plant in Niger State ( we normally use Shea Butter from Saki in Oyo State for our whipped butters). I'm a great lover of Shea Butter - it's helped tremendously with my dry skin issue (atopic dermatitis) by softening and smoothing my skin and fading away scars on my legs and face left by the patchy dryness.
It's also a great sealant for my hair especially when I need something a little heavier than my regular coconut oil.
What we did was make 2 separate batches of whipped butters - the one from Saki in one batch (with one fragrance) and the other batch made with the Niger Shea Butter (with our second fragrance)
What I've decided to do is a giveaway where 2 people get to win 2 tubs of our whipped butters (lavender and jasmine) and after using them, let us at KL's Naturals, know which one of the tubs you preferred (if applicable) and why.

I have intentionally left out which butter is in which tub so as to have a level playing field ( or something lol)

:) If I win, can I try the 2 jasmines?
Lol sweetie, why try 2 jasmines? The whole purpose is to win lavender and jasmine since each one has shea butter from a different source -that way you can compare!
DeleteBecause I LOVE jasmine!!! I want to try making my own whipped shea butter with jasmine oil at home.

DeleteHello Kemi,
ReplyDeleteShea Nuts are sourced from the Shea Tree (also called the Karite, Nku and Bambuk Butter Tree) which is native to Africa where it grows wild/uncultivated in 19 countries across the continent in a zone popularly called the 'Shea belt zone" which is the dry Savannah belt of Africa. The 19 countries are Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Togo, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Guinea. In Nigeria, The Shea Tree is predominant in Niger, Kwara, Kebbi, Kaduna, Kogi, Benue, Ogun and Oyo States.
The Yoruba's an ethnic group from south western Nigeria call the Butter produced from the Shea Nuts "ORI".
With this few points of mine, i hope i have been able to convince you that i deserve to win those tubs of shea butter! i've created the space for them on my vanity table already. lol!
