OUT OF AFRICA, SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL






















Discover why our pure, unrefined organic shea butter products are the finest and the healthiest

… for your skin

The real key to keeping your skin healthy, glowing and youthful is generous and consistent hydration.   And no ingredient is better at lavishing every skin type with pure and natural hydration than the 100% organic, unrefined shea butter found in every Out of Africa product. 

Our carefully chosen premium shea butter is rich in antioxidant vitamins like A, E, and F, which means this excellent daily moisturizer for face and body is a superpower when it comes to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  It penetrates skin easily, but won’t clog pores.   Shea butter even works magic on acne blemishes, stretch marks and scars.   It’s a dream ingredient that only nature could create.   And Out of Africa brings you the purest, most potent shea butter on the planet, hand-harvested from the karite trees of West Africa, then delivered fresh to you in an affordable variety of luxurious, skin-caring products.     

…for your family

When the bug bites…when the sun burns,  simply remember your new favorite thing – Out of Africa’s all natural, 100% pure unrefined shea butter.   Reach for it any time you need a safe and healthy skin solution for your family.  Our shea butter and shea butter-based products are naturally rich in pure ingredients that soothe every skin discomfort from diaper rash to razor burn, from chapping and cracked skin to eczema, sunburn, insect bites and dermatitis.   Our products are all about premium shea butter and lots of it.   We use extraordinarily high percentages (sometimes up to 100%) and don’t add any chemical preservatives or artificial ingredients that lessen shea butter’s benefits, irritate delicate skin or compromise the environment.   That way, you can feel as confident using our shea butter-rich products on every member of the family, even the youngest.

for the planet

Beautiful skin, healthy planet.  At Out of Africa, we believe that the adage “first, do no harm” applies to your skin and to the environment alike.   That’s why we use natural, sustainably sourced ingredients to craft eco-friendly, cruelty-free and vegan products.   We carefully select every ingredient, from our premium raw unrefined shea butter to our all-natural fruit oils and extracts, and never use sulfates, petrochemicals or phthalates. 







….for a community

Beauty is as beauty does. Out of Africa is built on commitment to quality and community, and these values merge in every single product that bears our name.  Out of Africa sources its pure and efficacious shea butter from West Africa, where it is hand-harvested by women’s cooperatives, following a painstaking process and without the use of chemicals.

Besides creating jobs, supporting families and the local economy, Out of Africa donates a portion of proceeds from all sales to non-profit organizations serving the needs of women and children in West Africa.  One example is the Benin Education Fund, a U.S. based 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to help provide education and medical care to these families.
