Why Make Shea Butter a Profitable Export Business?

The benefits of shea butter go far beyond curing skin-related problems. There are many factors that make this elixir one of the most desirable products among importers and exporters alike, and below are some of them.


  • Shift In Mindset: A shift can be observed as now people are showing an inclination toward organic and natural components in their cosmetics as well as the skincare products. Shea butter naturally comes with many health benefits, and people have become more aware of it. Its healing and anti-inflammatory properties make it perfect for consumers seeking natural remedies. Besides, it helps maintain a youthful appearance due to its anti-aging and hydrating characteristics that keep the skin supple and moisturized. 


  • Sustainable Sourcing: Consumers are today often concerned about the ethical sourcing of ingredients. Besides being versatile in nature, shea butter is also sustainable. This is what makes it so popular among ethically conscious consumers.  It is also a reason why we can see repeat buyers for this commodity. From procurement to processing, a shea butter company maintains long-term sustainability in the industry.


  • Premium Pricing: Although shea butter price depends on many factors like quality, quantity, and processing method, unrefined or raw shea butter is usually more cost-effective. On the other hand, refined shea butter can be comparatively more pricey, but its benefits and versatility are what make this product absolutely worth it. Not only this, it is also used in confectionery products as an alternative fat for cocoa butter because of its better pricing and longer shelf life.
