With diverse backgrounds that include dermatology, marketing, sales, law and economics, we set out to recreate the traditional formulation that we had used for so many years.
As a result, Karité was born. Unlike other shea butter moisturizers that often have low concentrations of highly-processed, refined shea butter (along with a slew of other skin-damaging chemicals and synthetic ingredients), Karité's all-natural, antioxidant-rich products feature high concentrations of raw, unrefined shea butter and palm oil sustainably sourced directly from Ghana.
We blend these pure ingredients with unrefined organic coconut oil and other botanicals to create the perfect moisturizer that soothes and heals even the most sensitive skin.
Formulated without harsh chemicals and solvents that can irritate skin, Karité products are hypoallergenic and free of synthetic dyes, silicones and parabens.
