Our sheabutter love story

Sheabutter has been used for centuries in sub saharan Africa. The shell nuts and the shea trees hold cultural value for the women who process the shea nut, using traditional methods of shelling, pounding and pressing. Long hours of mixing the butter over fire wood gives the shea butter its nutty smoky smell associated with naturally unrefined raw shea. It is this raw unrefined shea that holds the secret to the benefits if the amazing african gold aka sheabutter. When applied, it gives deep protection to the epidermal layer of the skin, protecting it from the harshness of the environment and bacterial inflammation.

About us

Our founder, Dr Bunmi grew up in Lagos Nigeria with a  nostalgic love for sheabutter. She believes it is the answer to a myriad of skin problems. Now living in the UK for over 20 years, she could not find natural unrefined sheabutter nor was it as commonly available or well known. For her, sheabutter is the answer to their eczema prone, inflamed and itchy skin. The drive to source sheabutter from Nigeria and western Africa and to get everyone to try it birthed the business, Bojolar Natural Skincare.

With her background in Science, she started to formulate sheabutter with natural oils, waxes and hydrosols to enhance sheabutter effectiveness and harness the power of this african gold. She is based in the North East of England, regularly attends local artisan markets and showcases the sheabutter products in sustainable and eco-friendly packaging.

As a social enterpirse, the vision is to source sheabutter ethically from West African women, and put those women at the center of our motivations. Our passion is deeply rooted in how our business can empower these women to make a living for themselves.
