Thanks for featuring this wonderful woman and her company. She’s so passionate and it’s so good to hear a positive story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have purchased Shea butter from Baraka and it is smooth and does not have that funky smell that most of the Shea butter in its natural state has. A truly wonderful product, thank you 💜
Thank you so much. Your purchases will have a direct impact. Do let us know any way we can help or support you info@barakasheabutter.com. I don't want to pull you from Marie's amazing videos but if you want to see more on Baraka Shea Butter, how it is made and about life in the remote rural communities where our products come from you can go to Baraka's youtube channel bit.ly/Baraka-Channel
It’s such a shame Baraka is not in the UK yet, I have talked to Wayne from Baraka about our general interest in it last year and was hoping we would start seeing it here soon! So please don’t forget us in the UK ❤️
Oooh Baraka is a Swahili word meaning Blessings. In Swahili Thank you is Asante. Greetings from Swahili Nation😍😍😘
What a lovely woman, inspiring and reflects true entrepreneur when it is motivated by the heart. I was searching about quality of shea butter and found your very informative video. I no longer have to search any further because Baraka Shea is the real deal. Thank you ( Baraka) ❤
I love the history, the education, the collective community and of course the butter. Great video ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
Baraka is my staple in all of my soap I put in the store. I did buy some refined shea from another company that was rancid and it was pungent and unfortunately was purchased new when it arrived that way. EVERYTHING I have purchased from Baraka has been lovely. Best of all they are located here on my island!
For years I have only purchased my Shea and cocoa butters from Baraka, and I’m so grateful to see Gifty here with you! For folks who want more info on how Shea is made, Baraka’s RUclips channel has a great video on the full process by the communities who make it for them. Fascinating!
They are so lovely! Thanks for watching ❤️
I love her and now I have a deep appreciation for shea butter. Definitely buying from this company next time I need shea butter.
Just watch this amd the women's story love love love this I like knowing where my money go and the fact it's helping a community even better instant subscriber for that reason thanks for show casing .
❤️ Thanks for watching!
It makes you wonder how on Earth anyone ever figured out how to extract the butter! So many specific steps!
That was totally awesome. As a woman too, I am so proud of the women of baraka shea butter making. All the info of shea will help so much and I so Thank you for your help

Well this was amazing. I will be purchasing my Shea from them moving forward.
What a fabulous education regarding natural shea butter. I don't even remember how I originally began to be interested in shea butter but I bought a huge block of from Amazon ten years ago or so and I mix it with coconut oil and use it for make removal, face moisturizer and body moisturizer for many years now. It is amazing and has been the absolute best moisturizer I have ever used. I will
now buy from Baraka.
Thank you so mucha Marie, for this informative vid!
I learned so much in such short time!
You are the best!!!!!!!

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Love this so much
❤️ Thanks for watching!
Wow, great video👍 The woman explains it very well
Beautiful interview Marie. My only problem with Baraka Shea is that they don't sell to Ghanian small businesses in Ghana. I live in Ghana but when I tried to order from Baraka Shea website I was asked to pay international shipping 😔
That’s ridiculous! Maybe they will change that soon.
Marie maybe you can speak to Wanye and his wife about this again. This is not the first time I'm asking. If they want to help local Ghanaian women, they should help as many as they can not just a select group.
@@maybellgreen you should reach out to Wayne directly. He’s very responsive when responding to emails and he has good customer service.
@@maybellgreen you should email them.
They do sell in Ghana now :) gh.barakasheabutter.com/
Beautiful video - thank you!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I LOVE THEM!
Wonderful interview! I shop at Baraka since discovering them through you, Marie. Wonderful company. And a wonderful representative in Gifty!
PS they also sell beautiful handmade woven baskets which are beautiful gifts and home decor for anyone who’s interested. I bought some as Xmas gifts last year.

OOooh enjoy! ❤️
New Subscriber, I loved this video I learned so much about Shea. I’m a small business owner and sell Shea butter products. I have used both refined and unrefined and both are good. But, I prefer the unrefined in my products. But, it really depends on what your making. This video was awesome. I learned so much❤
Hey there, I cannot thank you enough for your hard work at putting together that encyclopedia, I'm feeding on it. That said my sister just found out that she is pregnant, yeyyyy, she's due next spring and I wanna make her all homemade baby products, I wish you could share with us recipes for baby shampoo and body wash
Yes BARAKA butter is wonderful been using it for 1 year and nothing compares to it .
Oh my Goodness - I must share. I had everything I needed for this recipe. So excited to try my first Body Butter. Gotta say, it was an experiment of what happens if you do not do everything Marie says….cornstarch everywhere! SO at the end of it all….I have a wonderful, lovely body butter…Follower her instructions for less clean up! Thank you for this!!!
I'm so glad you created something you love! Hopefully the mess wasn't too crazy 😄
The butters from Baraka are beautiful. The coconut smells like heaven. I want to eat it. I bought the introductory pack and additional coconut oil. Also, their Red Palm oil colored my sulphur soap a gorgeous natural shade of yellow. Sulphur soap is notorious for turning brown. Thank you Marie. I learned about the Baraka products from watching your videos.
Do you have a tutorial for doing the sulphur soap?

I want to eat it, too! Especially the traditional coconut oil 😍
What a wonderful interview with "Gifty" (?) from Baraka Shea Butter! She was so knowledgeable with such a beautiful spirit! It was so informative and enjoyable! I learned some important things about shea butter! I love how their story of organizing the women to become a creative collective for shea butter production! I love it!Thank you!
❤️ Thanks for watching!
Thanks a ton that you shared a great information about shea butter. I am a beginner and I have been watching your videos and they have been very very useful and I have gained a lot of confidence. Dear Marie thanks once again. Lots of love from vimal chopra
❤️ Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com) as well-I've been blogging since 2011 while I’ve only been on RUclips since about 2016, so there are a lot more formulations on the blog. The blog is also where my ingredient encyclopedia and FAQ live, and they're both packed with tons of super-helpful information ❤️ Happy making!
Awesome 👏 👏👏
This was great thank-you
❤️
Thank you! I thought it was old but it seems it is just Smokey.
I love working with shea butter
Me too! ❤️
I love the yellow Shea butter with burututu herb amazing I do a lot of walking in nature as an exercise… so after my shower at night I put it on my skin body and skin I like the unrefined Shea . I whip it myself with other oils . It’s earthy natural smell which doesn’t stay in the skin it disappear . But it’s very nice I also wash myself with African black soap then I put the Shea butter am 47 years old I’ve being using it now for 15 years and people say I look 27 praise GOD 😊 also what makes you young is serving the LORD and living a path with JESUS . That’s the real secret really . GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏
Thank you so much, beautiful interview. I have only one problem with Barakasheabutter… I don’t want to use anyone’s Shea butter anymore

Awesome informative video! Great channel too, I love to formulate and your videos are so great. Can you post more videos formulating with shae butter and beeswax? Thank you, what do you think about vegetable glycerin? Which food grade preservative do you recommend for face creams and lip balms? Thanks
Thanks for watching! I've shared a lot of formulations using shea and beeswax; I recommend looking them up in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) and scrolling to the bottom of the entry-you'll find a big list of formulations to make with those ingredients :)
I love glycerin! Check it out in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) as well :) And learn more about preservatives in the FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/); there's a whole section of shelf life & preservation. Happy making!
It's enlightening
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
70% Shea butter and 30% evening primrose oil is great for problem with dermatitis. I use shea butter nilotica
I bought a huge amount of shea butter. I was going to a group project.
Thank you, Marie for such a great video!! Could I make a suggestion, please? Would you please make the color of the font of the captions in your video a different color from your top? I found it hard for my middle aged eyes (with glasses!) to read them.
Thanks again for your time!
Thanks for watching + thanks for the suggestion :)
🔥🔥🔥
Thank You Very much for information and important vídeo Marie...My God bless You life Marie beatiful girl 🙏🙌
Thank you so much for watching & supporting ❤️
@@HumblebeeAndMe 😘😘😘💖🙏
Do U have any videos showing U making some Shea butter?
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video we really appreciate it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for watching! ❤️
@@HumblebeeAndMe you’re welcome 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
hi, i discovered your channel not long about and i love it! i personally make body butter with shea butter. i wanted to know why you use corn starch and the benefits of it. thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Starch helps reduce greasiness; learn more with this video: ruclips.net/video/CQDAAlZ2XN8/видео.html. Happy making!
Hi humblebee thank you for sharing this knowledge 😊 an you give me some ingredients to whip with Shea butter that makes my skin smooth and free from texture pls ? Many thanks 😊🙏
Thank you, can you shed some light on this for me please, what if l don't melt down my butters but need to add emulsifying waxes, how do l add this or which stage?
Thank you for the video... I'm wishing that the women that's providing the Shea butter to the world is GREATLY compensated for all their hard work and not being TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF....with all these well known big companies using Shea butter the women should be living BETTER
How dare the world take advantage of theses hard working women..this is a form of modern day slavery....
GIVE THESE WOMEN THE MONEY THEY DESERVE!!!!!
Thank you so much for empowering us with your knowledge.
I want to make some products for myself and my friends.
They are concern about micro / bacteria.
How do you test for this at home?
Do you have a kit?
Or maybe this can be an entire video idea.
For those who want to test at home and test for resell?
thank you for these videos
You'd need to look into challenge testing, which can't be done at home. Honestly as long as you're using your preservatives correctly, it shouldn't be an issue. It's mostly for people who are in business and have concerns about liability and/or whose products might sit on a store shelf or someone's closet for months before use.
What do you do with old Shea butter?
It’s over two years old.
What. Is the natural dye they use for the Shea butter in order to be yellow
Hi there! How do I keep my jars of body butter lotion from getting condensation in the lids. I use the plastic jars with the lined plastic top. It's so frustrating. These are my emulsified body butter lotions. I cool them to room temp around 68 degrees before I pupe them in the jars. Thank you!!
Please make a hair mask diy using different clay
Oooh humble bee.
You are such an inspiring lady!
My name is Marie,and I use a lot of shea butter in my diy.
Love you barakah!
Love you Mary the humble bee!
Love Africa! 🥰
Please can you make a shea butter formulation for hair
I've made many over the years! Probably at least 20 :)
Look up shea butter in the free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) and scroll down for a list of links.
Love this video. I am now checking out their website and such good prices and I’d rather buy from these women then Amazon. Thank you for this video. I am also Canadian. I think you mentioned st. Lawrence market, are you from Canada as well? I’m north of Toronto
I am Canadian! I went to uni in Toronto (where fell in love with the St. Lawrence Market), but I live in Calgary now :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe that’s awesome. Yes I too LOVE St, Lawrence Market. Love your videos. Thanks 🙏🏼 😊
I made a lip balm using equal parts of beeswax, shea butter, 1 part of castor oil and 1 part of coconut oil then added vitamin e and essential oil after taking the mix off of the double boiler but my lip balm feels very sticky..please help
There is a DMSO cream on the market, which of yours could DMSO GO?
I am just confused about filtered and unfiltered. If I make it warm and add some citrus does it kill all benefits???
thank you so much for the information 🥰 can we whip mango butter without melting/heating ? since it's considered a soft butter too...
Yes you can-just be sure to feel it to make sure it feels smooth. If it feels mealy, your end product will as well. Happy making!
Sooo cool! I will seek to embrace the smoky nutty goodness from now on vs. lifelessnesses.
I don’t like using shea butter, Cz it always turns everything I use it in rancid .. how can I prevent it?
I luv me sum shea butter
It is wonderful!
i am looking for a shea butter facial moisturizer recipe please help; they have discontinued my 20 year shea butter face cream
This is a good place to start: www.humblebeeandme.com/oat-shea-hand-lotion/. Happy making!
After reading all the hype about shea butter, I tried some for 2 or 3 weeks, but it made my skin feel dry and also burned my eyes. So, I started using beef tallow which I like a lot better.
Is there any chance you're allergic to shea butter? I've read that people who are allergic to latex can have negative reactions to shea butter.
In any event, I'm glad you found something that is working for you ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Do you have all these recipes to do with Shea Butter in a book, or altogether in something one could purchase? 🙏❤
She has a book called make it up,of make up. The other thing is the blog.
@@EspadasYCopas thanl you
I don't-it's all free :) But you can help support me by purchasing my book on DIY makeup ❤️ humblebeeandme.com/make-it-up-order/ Happy making!
Hello, can i use your recipes to make and sell?
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question in my FAQ on my website at www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/can-i-sell-things-made-from-your-recipes/ 😊Happy making!
Nice interview, but the music is distracting.
Thanks for supporting my African sisters, we appreciate!!
But baraka is a swahili word, theres no way it exists in west africa because swahili is our language in east africa! Just to correct that. Its a Swahili word just like the wakanda. Its adopted from our east african region. Most Ghanaians do-not even know the meaning!!
Normally it is used as “luck” more than “thank you”.
Recently we got the chance to establish Swahili as an African union language. Of course Uganda has a-lot of water bodies, boasting of the biggest fresh water body on the continent and good forests the weather hence makes the shea different. Its only found in the north near Sudan where the weather is a little dry, but not as cold as west African weather! So yea, its different.
Uganda😊🇺🇬🇺🇬
