Our mission encompasses revolutionizing the way shea butter is bought and sold worldwide. Shea Yeleen International is a unique social enterprise that includes a 501(c)3 nonprofit and a commercial entity that sells high-quality, unrefined shea butter products. We support shea butter producers in West Africa by paying them living wages and providing the shea butter cooperatives that we work with funding, health insurance, and training.Unlike other shea butter skincare manufacturers, we want to ensure that shea butter producers have a voice and visibility. And we do this by educating consumers and by having shea butter producers represent their issues and concerns within the global marketplace.

Shea Yeleen products feature natural, organic shea butter produced in small batches using traditional methods. Our products do not contain manufactured chemicals or pesticides.

Currently, our products are not certified due to the high costs associated with organic certification. Shea Yeleen works with cooperatives and many cannot afford the high cost of USDA organic certification.

Shea Yeleen products — including each of its ingredients — are not tested on animals.

Shea Yeleen considers parabens unsafe. Our products are paraben-free and do not contain manufactured chemicals.
