About Us
Birth of Shea-BA Cosmetics
Shea-BA was born in 2018, when its founders Angela Anderson and Brian Roberts, began producing the richness of Shea Butter mixed with essential oils. Selling them from their much-loved home in Brixton, London, UK.
​
Built on strong principles and true passion, the Shea-BA brand has grown (a lot!), from our launch Hand Cream product we now boast five well-branded products. But despite the joy and challenges Shea-BA's philosophy has always remained the same. Nature matters. People matter and the Future is vitally important. That is why Shea-BA sources quality Shea Nut from the fertile soil of Tamale, In Northern Ghana where the women produce fine quality, Shea butter.
​
We work closely with our suppliers. Our intention is never to exploit! We pay the fairest price possible ensuring the promotion of Fair Skills Trade. We understand that the women on the Shea butter farms are passionate about what they do and want to hand down their skills and land to the next generation. Working closely with Ghana catapults Shea-BA's missions and ethos to supply grade A Shea butter.

​
Our ingredients – We use four base ingredients in each of our authentic products. With intense research into the oils and the benefits of each of the base ingredients, we are well equipped to provide you with quality products.
​
Our base ingredients start with the Shea Butter. Our unrefined Shea butter directly from Ghana is handpicked from the finest Shea nut. The nuts are boiled, this makes shelling the nuts easier, once cooled. Then the nuts are put out to dry. The seeds are extracted from the nut, and then beaten with water, which releases their rich fats. It is then boiled, skimmed and cooled. The result is the rich Shea butter we all know and love.
​
​By appreciating our producers and the family farm technique used, to produce our unrefined Shea butter, we are confident that our Shea butter will be off white ivory in colour. High in vitamins A, E and F with high potency of natural sunscreen called cinnamon acid, and is free from contamination.
