    Brief History:

    It is recognized that the Pharaoh Nefertiti, the queen of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, attributes her great beauty to the use of Shea Butter and its use extends to our days in the best cosmetic formulas.

    It is made from the fruits of a sacred tree called Shea. This tree grows wild in the savannahs of West Africa and is collected only by women following an ancestral ritual. This type of local handicraft production, managed by women's cooperatives, is the engine of the economy and the livelihood of miles of families in West Africa.

    Adiós Eczema

    He probado varias mantecas de Karité y esta es la que más me gusta por la textura, calidad y el olor, un ligero aroma tostado natural. Empecé con las mantecas por mis brotes de eczema y esta es la que mejores resultados me da. En invierno suelen empeorar pero desde que uso esta manteca ni me entero.

    Me encanta

    La manteca de karite pura te deja la piel super suave e hidratada, calma cuando tengo picores, o descamación, en los labios agrietados funciona muy bien también. Para mí un gran descubrimiento.

    Salvadora de pieles

    Vengo a compartir mi historia y espero que pueda ayudar a otra persona que esté pasando por lo mismo que yo.

    Tengo la piel mixta con tendencia acneica, llevo años batallando con la misma, nunca daba con nada que me ayudara a hidratar mi cara sin dejarla muy seca o muy grasa, he probado y créanme marcas habidas y por haber en cosmética, desde algo súper económico hasta invertir en gama más alta y no daba con nada que me favoreciera a mi rostro, a medida que iba a ganando edad mi zona T (alrededor de ojos, barbilla, ) es reseca al punto que se descama, y la demás zonas de mi rostro es sumamente grasa (mejillas, frente).
    Inicie a usar Epiduo Forte (Adapaleno + Peróxido de benzoilo) por temas de acné, y la resequedad se agravó más y no daba con una crema que pudiera usar de noche en conjunto al retinol y que no me causará brotes, después de una intensa investigación y más de 3 semana de uso de la manteca de Karite puedo decir que he encontrado lo que necesitaba.

    Solo la uso durante las noches alrededor de mis ojos y barbilla, no la pongo en ningún otro lado, y ya puedo decirle bye bye a mi piel de serpiente en esa zona, estoy muy muy feliz con los productos de esta casa, uso el jabón que amo, de aquí mismo, y la manteca de Karite, ya no sé si pueda imaginar mi vida y mi rostro sin estos productos.

    También me encanta toda la idea de apoyar a las mujeres de Ghana que hacen estás cosas con mucho amorcito ❤️.

    He tardado en dejar el comentario pero quería estar segura de que era lo que ofertaban, el olor no es el mejor de el mundo pero no me importa hahahah, ya me he adaptado y hasta he llegado a quererlo, mi novio al inicio me hacía uno que otro comentario antes de dormir, y yo solo le respondía es el aroma de la pureza del Karite.

    ¡Muchas gracias! A veces la uso de día en mi barbilla, y ya no me preocupo por nada. Piel feliz, clienta contenta.

    Hola Rojeiris No sabes cuanto nos alegra tu reseña y nos anima a seguir en el camino de la pureza de los ingredientes y del comercio colaborativo. Abrazos salvajes!!
