Born in Benin, the two foundresses Carole and Glwadys Tawema set their sights on defending the producers of artisanal shea butter against the industries whose intensive extraction methods and industrial refinement using chemicals destroy ecosystems and do not allow to manufacture pure organic shea butter. With the aim that the women of the shea butter preserve their know-how, improve their standard of living and retain their autonomy thanks to a proper compensation.
