Shea: From Nuts to Butter

- The sequel to Shea Butter: From Tree to Nuts
Created for Malian National Television, this video teaches rural Malian women how to make improved shea butter. (Local production techniques result in a shea butter that cannot be exported. New techniques and the formation of cooperatives allow women to export their butter for a profit). The production was shot in a rural village in Mali, West Africa. One woman teaches another how to improve her practices in order to make export-quality shea butter.
To see how the nuts are gathered and processed before making the shea butter, see the prequel video, "Shea: From Tree to Nuts"
The video has been aired on ORTM, the national TV station, and used in training events in Mali. The women in this video, Minata and Afu, are part of a new cooperative that is now selling their shea butter for a profit.

I salute these hard working African ladies
Backbreaking work . i hopethey are paid well . im praying
Wow, and husbands?
Jiří Housa Pft! The women did everything in this video. Why credit the husbands when they did nothing?
Amen
@@ascendednightingale2456 yea they did. They gave her a job to do.
What a wonderful video and what wonderful women!!! I wish we could buy directly from them, instead of buying from stores that pay barely nothing to them... =/
right

What's that means?
Yeah!! I would totally tip them so much
Fernanda Garza that they may not be paid fair wage for the work they do to make it
A 3 day process? My lord! That is some serious manual labor and back labor too! They did an awesome awesome job! Thankyou africa!
Chile I Neva knew lol, thank god for their hard work cuz I love Shea butter!!! I won't complain about the price anymore either it a actually should cost more for all that work!!!
I think it might take a few weeks. There are 2 videos, and I think this is part 2. The first video shows a "2 weeks later" time lapse when prepping the nuts before this video. :)
🙋 it's Mali! Not all the 54countries 🌍 do that; just few in some west Africa countries. Big Western companies pay them so little, and sell the product (with many benefits). Same with others natural resources of 🌍.
Savannah nenegale Big Companies go through USAID to exploit them.

Seems you missed Part 1.
Pick, wash, dry a couple of days, wash & dry again, 2wks!
On & on. I lost count... And that was only Part 1!
Yet Big Brother has NO qualms robbing them of their blood & sweat
i swear in industrialized countries we take so much for granted
I bought a container of shea butter this afternoon. It was quite cheap yet so much labour goes into making this product. I appreciate it a lot more now. I salute the women who work so hard.
therapeutics23 where u order it I need some
Oat Milk I got to a HBCU. and a African lady sets up once a week and sells her butters and oils an 8oz tub is usually $10.
What a process!
This is so cool, I wish I could buy directly from them.
I thought the same thing when I watched how hard she worked for that batch. my goodness !

@@akwandzisarpong4481 can shea butter be parceled to the usa? I dont think customs will allow it?
The women must use their own butter. Their skin looks so even and smooth. No blemish.
Sis believe me since I started using pure shea butter from Ghana my skin looks amazing, I had such a sensitive skin, I was using a lot of European products but I've made a decision of not using them anymore, and now my skin is shinning, my face is so clear, we must trust our African natural products!!! 🌷
As a Haitian woman, I can understand some of their words, my ancestors. This is such a beautiful video beyond words, sometimes we take things for granted. She put a lot of work into making this butter we use everyday. Makes me proud to be apart of this culture!
I hear ya, sistah! This is one of those videos that makes you want to do real work.
You see these women working hard for so little whilst smiling and you wonder why some people can not appreciate the life they have.
RUclips is therapy!
Sad part the anglos make the real money...want to buy right from them...
That is so cool some of their words were preserved in the Haitian language.
God bless their hands
Thanks for this video... it brought a smile and tear to my face. Just seeing the hard work that goes into preparing this is in incredible.
I hope now all those know-it-all Shea butter expert sites that say ivory/off-white shea butter is heavily processed can be quiet.
Watching this has helped me to appreciate what we have here in Africa. When ever i go to the open market in search for my shea butter i would do well to say a double thank you to the women. I love the attention to details and the way she took time to wash her hands out. I now understand why some smell stronger and others milder its due to the process of the nuts and how well you washed them too. Thank you ***** for sharing i enjoyed the video
I have a better appreciation for my shea butter.
Deb Bee same
That butter came out so beautiful! These women worked hard and had amazing attitudes and their skin looked great too. Shea butter has amazing benefits and I am happy to be able to work within a company that supplies shea butter to others. God is so faithful!
That's cool! Her friend was like uh huh, yea, ok, alright girl,. Lol,, beautiful women all around the globe, making a livelihood
shashayaway bailey lolll i caught that too. they are awesome! very strong to do this 3 day job.
LuxeLike Whatever
You probably missed Part 1 of the process.
Pick, wash, dry a couple of days, wash again v thoroughly, dry 2wks!
On & on. I lost count. And that was ONLY Pt 1..!

That's the Shea butter I want

I love the way they are so thankful. Thanking Allah and then constantly saying positive blessing things "May we have a peaceful night" What a great spirit these people have. I've watched this before but I love watching it over and over again. Reminds me what is important in life.
I loved this video! It's nice to see how stuff is made; something that looks simple actually takes long, careful work. This woman did an amazing job, and to see hard working hands and backs go into this product makes me appreciate not only the product, but those who put hard labor into making it. I don't know your name, but I appreciate you and I pray God continues to bless you and your family.
ALL WE DO IS PUT IT ON OUR HAIR AND BODY BUT WE DON'T REALIZE THE HARD WORK AND LABOR OF LOVE TO PRODUCT THIS WONDER BUTTER. THANK YOU WOMEN SO MUCH I SALUTE YOU!!
I have much respect for these women. May God grant you the pay you really deserve.
Wow, what hard work. I have an appreciate for these women and many other hard working people in other parts of the world. I use shea butter for my skin and hair. It is humbling to watch how it is made. God bless you.
I want to go to Africa and help them make shea butter. I could totally get into this as a hobby whist getting muscles. lol
Wow thank you for sharing this video, i am very humble and thankful to all the hard working female in those country
Wow that's a lot of hard work! Thanks for sharing!
I am never taking advantage of Shea butter ever again. That is some serious labor I applaud all the women who do this
+jumpin do you honestly think big companies make it like this/ its all done in a machine that roasts the nuts and grinds them and filters out the oil
capatainnemo i dont buy big company shea butter i buy it from african ladies who get them from home.
jumpin can u put me on to who u buy it from? I need some to buy but I'm living in the Caribbean
i don't know how in the caribbean i get it from african friends mostly west africans. i live in the states. maybe try at an african shop
jumpin OK
It's crazy how they figured out how to process these shea nuts in past times. Can you imagine the number of trial and errors that went on before perfecting this? So much respect for these ladies doing this backbreaking manual labor for so little pay.
I have alot of respect for these women. That's back breaking work! I just hope all the women that work get compensated really well. Thank you for your work.
Wow! Such great hard working women...just watching them makes my back hurt they must get very painful back pains.
Emely Their amazing tho
May God Bless and continue to bless these women, our Sisters. It's their genius, which often is ignored, that we should praise and celebrate. Not the greedy who saw the benefit and profit.
Thanks u Africans ladies, hope u are paid well
They are NOT paid well!
Matthew Xiu it's tru, you're right. They are often paid near nothing
+AfroAngloFrenchie Chick (That Bantu Chick) do you know anyone that makes shea butter on their own? I want to buy it directly from women like them, not from a store. Thank you :)
Maria Bulgari Hello. I didn't see your message. I'll check and see. :)
whos' picture do you see!
I am truly appreciating the effort that is made for my shea butter...my natural hair thrives on it.
Thank you for posting this very informative video. Those strong women were working sooo hard and I didn't hear one complaint. I am humbled and enlightened at the same time. I wish I could buy all of my butter from these women and be used as a source of economic empowerment to improve their way of life. God Bless you and thank you.
Peace & Abundant Blessings
We do not ever need to complain here in America. Not taking anything away from us, but these women work hard without the amenities we have here. my heart felt gratitude goes out to them.
I loved this video!
Blessings from the all mighty, to you women and men there in Africa!
Born in Africa, this women remind of my late Mother and women in my family. they work very hard through out their entire life.God bless them, they are the roots of all civilization.
Not only is this grueling physical work it's am art form as well!! These women should get cash in hand for this!! I somehow feel more money is going to the stores that sell this butter and not much to the women who make this!
I'm telling you, how cruel🤷🤷🤷
Watch how they mine lithium.
Thank you, it looks easy, but I know it wasn't. It was a very fine, and hard job. Thank you ladies for this amazing lesson
Thank you for this video and for your interest. These are my country's women. They do incredible work every day just with the means at their disposal.
Wow! I have great appreciation for those who make the shea butter I buy at the African market in my city. That's a longer process than I thought.
may GOD bless this women l am so proud of them!!!!
Amazing. I love our women so much. Thanks for this.
Even though they work so hard, I imagine they have beautiful, soft hands. I appreciate this video and how it demonstrated the work necessary to make the products we take for granted.
How can you have soft hands with such hard work ?.
Stop romantizing life ...
No one here has soft hands
What hardworking women.. Definitely ant the my shea butter or granted.. Thank u African ladies for putting ur labour into this magical product
My back & hands hurt just watching them do this in the hot sun. Godbless them!
These hard working Ladies are making final product with great labor . In case they sell it directly on line they can earn 10 fold returns. God bless our these sisters.
That was the best lookin shea buttet i've seen...the young lady did a awesome job processing that butter, very clean and sanitary!
Thank you for the video. I'll make make sure a drop does not go wasted now that I saw all the hard work involved.
This is an amazing product! I got some that came straight from Ghana at a SwaptMeet. They would make millions if they came here in the U.S! I put it on everyday before going to bed, and i wake up soooo comfortable its amazing!
Wow!! That was an eye opener. I never knew that so much work goes into producing shea butter. I always assumed that a machine was used to extract the butter. If I had a company I would deal directly with these women and pay them fairly. I love being an American but we, as a society are very greedy and so unfair to poor countries. I will be ordering my Shea Butter from the website that posted this video in the hopes that the money is going to these two women.
I learned something new everyday. Its nice that they were willing to try a new method as suppose to thier old tradition way. I love a jar of that shea butter from them
Wow. Who knew what I love takes so much work! I would be dead if I had to do all that for a small pot of butter. They deserve the world. It’s videos like that that make me appreciate the hard work of these beautiful patient woman but it also makes me hate being American. Compared to the rest of the world we don’t know hard work. We are lazy as hell and have the audacity to be cheap. They deserve 30x more than what they are given to produce this Gem. I would personally like to thank them for their hard work. I love you all, I appreciate you all and I pray that one day we can buy directly from the hard working people who make this 😘
I would like to add my "ditto" to those who said after watching all the hard work they will never complain about the price again. What amazing women! Thank you for showing us how you make shea butter. I am so grateful to all of the African women who create such a wonderful product, and with such back-breaking work. Great idea Goddess298 - googling for fair trade organizations. I already buy Alaffia products but would like to find the pure shea butter in larger containers.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE, AFRICAN SHEA BUTTER!
The best thing you could put on your hair and body along with Black soap!💋❤
I just started using shea butter and now that i know all the work it took to make it I def will appreciate it a lot more.
So lovely ladies. Thank you so much. You are doing really hard work. I really appreciate and respect them more and more. Thank you Africa..
salute our africans god bless every single one of u
I am a professional Aromatherapist & I wish there was a button to more than just 'like' this video & the one before it. So informational watching this entire process, & not just theoretically knowing it. Hats off to these cute women (loved the little dialogues for film!) Thankful to their hard work for all the little, expensive jars of unrefined precious body butter supplies that reach us. Praying that they truly receive more & more fair trade benefits!
Which one pure yellow or white color plz
this was AMAZING to watch...right from the beginning straight to the very end......it was so informative and highly interesting...I LOVE to see how other cultures are practiced, Love ,Love, Love it. Now I know the REAL colour shea butter is supposed to be...seeing is believing and I just watched an excellent 9 almost 10 minute video explaining the important process of how shea butter is made and saw it with my own eyes....IVORY COLOURED is the real deal. That's what it looks like when its done.
It's been a while since I watched this but they didn't show the nuts being peeled before roasting the nuts inside. I still love watching these beautiful hard working ladies. :D
I'm so grateful for my Shea, with ladies like this putting in so much hard work, its fabulous!
That was the best shea butter making video yet. It reminded me of an after school special, African style.
I just purchased some today from the health food store same texture and color.,. can't wait to use it. 100% natural!!!
Its amazing how diligent she is. It's much work to make such a small amount. I'll take special care when using my butters from now on. Blessings sisters, each one teach one.
To all my African sisters thank you for making shea butter and keeping a sistas hair looking fly! Y'all are God sent! Nuff love from Jamaica!
Wow I see that they're very polite and friendly 😌, my African people ❤️🙏😇
this is what a real hard working person is. Thank god that they'll benefit from it. New bucket list entry: learn how to make Shea butter! :D thanks for the upload!!
They work so hard and nothing is wasted!! I've learned a lot by looking around the world at different cultures and how they make everything with their hands and passed on..
This is like Art to me, it's amazing watching those women do that.
thank you for teaching my Jasmine about where her Shea Butter comes from! Jasmine is 5yo and loves her soft skin
Loved how hygienic she was. I've seen men make cheese with mustaches and very hairy forearms and it was enough to make me not want to eat cheese again. The men were actually elbow deep in it.
Great video, thanks for sharing it! I wish there was a way to get the product direct from those that make it. All they need is small plastic containers and they are set but I'm sure nothing is ever as simple as we would want it to be.
Notice how so many people asked how to buy from these women directly and they were never given an answer. Also over the course of 3 days they were wearing the same spotless clothes. If this was a true source where we could support them while they worked like that..we would have had an answer in a half of a second if the person that created this video had a care in the world.
Kaylynn Rose well in Africa, we wear work clothes Those are her work clothes. Also we wash our clothes everynight before going to sleep and hang them up to dry until the morning. Hence why they are clean. The person who posted this video just wants to show people how its made. She's not a shea butter trader.
***** Thank you. I don't know why people assume that if you don't have a big city lifestyle, or machines to do all your washing for you-- that you are DIRTY!.... These women live the way ALL our ancestors did in the past. They build a fire to cook. They take water from a well or a river to take a bath or clean their clothes. And they wash their clothes by hand, hanging them to dry EVERY day. And they are NOT lazy about it. In the past, a wife did not need a "money paying job" like a husband, because she worked her fingers to the bone just to keep her home and family clean and fed. That alone was a full time job. Some women did extra things like this, making butters or perfumes, or making rugs, pots and clothes to sell... But you were considered to have serious and valuable skills and talent if you could do something like that. Most of the women just cared for the family. They were plenty clean, because they did what they had to do in order to stay clean. It was harder than what we do now, but they still did it.
hard working woman got to give you all credit thank you for the shea butter. xx
I feel lazy as hell now 😂
damn that's why it's expensive !! you deserve every single penny !
I'd rather pay these ladies directly. I'm sure they don't see much of what you pay after the cosmetic companies take their share.
Lauren Simonelli you're totally right !! i had the same question while i was watching this video " do they get enough money ? "
can you tell me how can I contact them directly, please ?
It’s not really that expensive , especially when you take into consideration how much labor goes into making it .
I just bought 2-1/4 pounds of it for less than 20.00 and it was free shipping I wanted to buy the 5 pound quantity but the vender that was selling it only accepted PayPal instead of just a regular ok credit card.
I would actually spend more than what I paid .
Where did you order from?
I can't believe I witnessed this and had no idea at the time they were in the processing if roasting their nuts when I arrived at a village. :( aw I have a picture of it though. Love these women.
I love my country! ❤🇬🇭
Thank you beautiful woman for all your hard work God bless:)
Very good vid, its just too bad that these ladies will never get paid what they are really worth.
Amazing and hard working women...God Bless them!
Magnifique ! Travail long & méticuleux, chapeau à ces femmes !
wow so much work goes into that and she did all the work by hand in that blistering heat. now that is a hard workiimg woman
Beautiful video, lovely woman, beautiful language...the simplicity of the interaction
Precious! Precious because it is made with so much love and labor! Thanks for sharing this video.
God bless them! Wish the money we spend on shea butter would go directly to the ones who make it! Not only that bt evrythng else as well!
Wow I don't feel worthy to use this .... So much work I truly appreciate this Shea butter ....Thank You
merci, pour cette video c'est tres informative
I appreciate shea butter so much more, now.
all that work is ridiculous and I can just go to the store and pick up five packages if I want. thank you so much
yes. its humbling isn't it?
They are so great and wonderful!
I specifically looked for this video just so that i knew where it came from. Now I'm super glad :) These women are amazing.
Wow that woman in the yellow is such a hard worker. And she's so beautiful too.
Que barbaridad!! es sorprendente todo el trabajo para realizar esta crema, 100% artesanal, ojalá todo su esfuerzo sea bien retribuido. La postura que ellas utilizan para trabajar es de respeto literal doblan todo su cuerpo y todos es paradas. Dios las bendiga a ellas y a toda su población y país. Gracias y gracias por compartir 🙏🙌✨
Amazing she made this by hand
The best of natural bio sheaf butter 👍🏽congratulations lady 🌹🌹🌹🥳🥳💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Wow. I can hardly express my extreme gratitude for you sharing this beautiful video. What an incredible process conducted by beautiful people. Thank you so much for this educational journey across the globe!
Wow this was awesome, all their hard work is amazing, they really deserve to make more for the amount of effort.
This is great to see! I use shea butter in my soaps and it is good to see the faces of the women on the other side of our world working hard and making such a wonderful thing
Definitely off grid living and working. Good job, ladies
This was a very informative video...like some of my other YouTtubers no complaints about the price and respect to the sisters who put in the labor.
I truly salute and appreciate these ladies. God bless them. My back would be hurting so bad.
God bless these women because, that is hard work!
I've gained a new appreciation for my butters and oils. Thank you.❤
