Our stories

Stewards of ancient tradition

REMARKABLE SHEA

For centuries shea butter has been called “women’s gold” not only for its rich golden color, but also because it provides employment and income to millions of women across the continent. The ‘UN Development Programme’ estimates that an average of three million African women work directly or indirectly with shea butter.

This singular butter is creamy-golden in color. Rich in essential fatty acids, enzymes, vitamins and exhibiting impressive cooling and protective qualities, shea butter is remarkably versatile, offering nourishment and exceptional skin revitalizing activity. It is part of an age-old tradition and is used daily throughout one’s lifetime – to celebrate birth, to dress wounds, as a butter to cook with and a balm to moisturize skin and hair.

Fragrance free and simple. My lips love it so much and stayed soft for much longer, its been a great value. It led me to ordering other products directly from evanhealy which have become my holy grails like rose and douglas fir hydrosols, some of the oil serums and the Whipped Shea Butter with Olive Leaf.

Very emollient. It melted into my dry skin and kept it hydrated throughout the day (normally I would have to reapply a moisturizer after a few hours, not so with this product). I like it a lot just wish it was a larger jar, my whole body could benefit from its use.

This is my luxury balm. Makes me feel like I’m applying liquid diamonds to my skin. It feels amazing and nourishes throughout the night and smells incredible. At first the scent came on strong but it grew on me quickly! I love that there’s no greasy residue after sleeping with it on all night.

  • Stewards of a regenerative olive grove

    Turning off Monterey road onto a short dirt driveway we slowly crept past a steel arched building muraled with Piet Mondrian's composition with red blue and yellow. Not sure where to go, we circled the other buildings until we met a generously bearded man donning a black fedora, dark sunglasses with t-shirt and jeans to match. We knew we were someplace cool.
