Shea Butter — Grade A, Unrefined

Natural shea butter sourced from West African shea parklands, supplied in unrefined and refined grades for use in cosmetics, skincare, and food manufacturing industries across Europe and beyond.

LATLINK ENT supplies shea butter extracted from shea nuts harvested across the shea parklands of northern Ghana and neighboring West African producing regions. Shea butter is a natural fat derived from the kernel of the shea tree fruit, valued globally for its moisturizing properties in cosmetics and for its use as a specialty fat in food and confectionery applications. We supply two main grades: unrefined shea butter, which retains its natural cream or golden color, mild nutty scent, and full range of nutrients, popular with cosmetic manufacturers seeking a raw, minimally processed ingredient; and refined shea butter, which has been purified to remove odor and impurities, resulting in a white, longer-shelf-life product preferred by manufacturers requiring a neutral base for lotions, creams, and soaps. Every batch is processed and packed to meet international export standards, with quality checks on free fatty acid content, moisture level, and consistency before shipment. LATLINK ENT works directly with women-led shea cooperatives across producing communities, supporting a supply chain where a significant share of harvesting, processing, and initial extraction is carried out by women, in line with our commitment to sustainable and inclusive sourcing. Our shea butter is exported primarily to Europe for use in cosmetic and food manufacturing, with capacity to serve other emerging markets on request. Orders can be arranged in container-load volumes starting from 1 metric ton for trial orders up to full container loads (typically 16-20 metric tons per 20ft container) for regular bulk buyers. Standard export documentation includes certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, SGS or equivalent quality inspection certificate, and commercial invoice, with fumigation certificates provided where required by the destination country.
