Spinning Cotton, Cooking Shea Butter and Meeting The People Of North Ghana
  • 7 months ago
If you're wondering where your Body Shop Shea Butter is coming from, then this is the answer: Your beloved Shea Butter comes from small West African villages like this one. The village was just at the outskirts of Tamale and was surrounded by Shea Nut Trees. We were lucky to see how they're boiling the pressed nuts to separate unwanted particles from the butter.

That was interesting but even more though we loved watching this old lady spin cotton inside her adobe hut to a thread ,which will be then later be used to produce the traditional cloth item called Smock.

If you're in Tamale and would love to do the same tour please leave a message int he comments, we can connect you with the people who organized it. All the profits of the tour go directly to the village itself.

We're soon going to write about it our visit to this village producing Shea Butter and Cotton on our Ghana Travel:
