East African Shea Butter (Vitellaria Nilotica), is a blessing to the indigenous Lango, and Acholi tribes for as long as memory itself. In Northern Uganda, Nilotica Shea Butter has been used from birth to death as a honoured part of traditional cultural practices. As a Lango man himself, Paul has grown up with the love of Shea Butter and knew that it's nourishing and healing properties were the key to uplifting his homeland, and beyond.
The question was; how?
As a group of friends from our various corners of the earth, co-founders Paul, Beth and Kat discussed what we wanted our futures to look like.
What kind of world did we want to live in?
Sustainable, joyful, harmonious.
We designed our futures that day, and before our eyes the path began to emerge before us.
