Prized for its sweet edible fruit and rich creamy nut butter, the African Shea tree, which grows wild in the savannas of Sub-Saharan West Africa, is the inspiration for our lusciously scented KARITÉ Wooden Wick Candle.
In the African communities that harvest its nuts, no part of the delectable Karité fruit goes unused, and is utilized in ancient recipes ranging from cooking in its toasty oil to preparing nourishing balms for the skin and hair. Pronunciation: kare-a-TAE Meaning: Shea Butter, French
