BergaCare SB/SB S
Ethical and High-Performance Shea Butter
Sustainable Sourcing and Ethical Responsibility
Shea butter, derived from the nuts of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, is rich in bioactive compounds such as triterpenes, sterols and phenolic compounds. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and emollient properties. The high concentration of fatty acids, particularly oleic, stearic, palmitic and linoleic acids, makes shea butter an exceptional moisturizer that helps strengthen the skin's barrier function.
The shea nuts used in BergaCare SB/SB S are harvested in the "Shea Belt" region of Western Africa through natural wild collection, avoiding plantations. The processing of shea butter is based on traditional knowledge and empowers over 16 million African women in the shea supply chain. This socially sustainable practice not only provides economic independence, but also preserves ancient techniques passed down through generations.
Berg+Schmidt is a member of the Global Shea Alliance and therefore supporting ethical sourcing and sustainability in West Africa. Our shea butter not only empowers millions of women by providing fair wages and economic independence but also promotes responsible harvesting practices that protect shea parklands and biodiversity.
