Shea butter production dates to at least medieval times in West Africa. For centuries, possibly millenia, its nourishing qualities made it a highly valued and effective treatment for skin and hair.
Today, the Unrefined Shea Butter found in Guna's Universal Balm is made by women's co-operatives in Northern Ghana using centuries-old methods passed down from one generation to the next.

Ingredients
Key Ingredients
With a rich base of unrefined Shea Butter, Almond Oil and Vitamin E, this balm is soft and rich, creating a protective barrier for skin and hair. We've added essential oils of Chamomile, Geranium and Frankincense as they've been used for centuries for their healing and regenerative properties.
To make our unrefined Shea Butter, first, shea nuts are picked as they fall to the ground, after which the nuts are thoroughly inspected to discard any bad fruit. Nuts are then boiled, sun-dried and de-husked to reveal the kernels. The kernels are ground to a fine powder and boiled in water, which makes the butter rise to the surface. The butter is repeatedly collected, warmed, melted, and purified until no impurities are left. It's then filtered, cooled and packaged.
