BAOBAB OIL - ANOTHER MIRACULOUS PRODUCT THAT AFRICA HAS TO OFFER
Cold-pressed from the seed of the Baobab tree, known across West Africa as the Tree of Life, this oil is rich in Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, which support skin elasticity and help strengthen the skin's natural barrier. It also contains vitamin E, a genuine antioxidant that helps defend skin cells against everyday environmental stress.

The BEST shea butter
I’ve made shea butter soufflé for my family for over a decade, and this brand by far is the best quality that I’ve ever used.
Adrienne Young
Everything ok
I was amazed how fast my order was delivered inHolland. I liked the simple packaging, fits the brand. Thanks for the personal message.
Kees Gerritse
Best service compare to Europe
I ordered 2,25 kg of Shea Butter and in between 3 days it came all the way from Ghana to the Alps where I live. The packaging is incredibly professional and with a touch of heart warming details as in a special handwritten thank you note and a little aluminium container where you can store some Shea Butter while you are traveling. Thank you so much. I will love to order again.
Nicole Moses
This is the real deal!
I met Kai in a village in Ghana where I was volunteering in 2023 and I can attest to the quality of the shea butter. I watched the women wash, roast and make the mixture. This is as real as it gets. I'm very precious with my cosmetics and buying shea butter straight from the source, not only do you do good for yourself, you're actually supporting these women. You impact their lives. That, to me, makes this purchase even more worthy and I'll keep buying from Kai as long as she sells! Plus, don't you want to get in on the secret ingredient all the cosmetic companies are using? :D
PS the shipping to Croatia was super fast!

Awesome quality
The butter arrived even faster than what was expected and the quality is super high. Honestly, compared to the shea butter that you can get in stores in Europe the difference is crazy!

Raw African Shea butter miracle
Just the smell reminds me of my trips to Africa and triggers precious memories. This Shea butter is authentic, rich, and pure. A very little amount is needed for treating the skin. Full of oils, it leaves the skin well moistured, smooth, and nourished. I have just started, but I am sure a continuous treatment will eliminate any skin irritation and discomfort.
Dear ladies in Ghana,
A BIG THANK YOU!
Kamila Novak
excellent！
Takako Hamano
The essential moisturizer for me
I’m so happy Fair Tale Ghana sells this wonderful product and endlessly grateful for the women in Ghana who create it. I have eczema and this Shea butter is the only thing that helps. I will not look anywhere else for another moisturizer. As long as you sell it, I will buy it! Thank you!
Emily
very good quality, good price
This is the second time I've ordered the shea butter. The first time from Amazon, the second time directly from Ghana. I was very impressed with the quality. I can recommend everyone to try this shea butter. I will order again myself when it runs out and maybe I'll try the oil too.
Kristjane
Shipped surprisingly quickly, got so much for my money and it's really good quality! Been using it in so many ways, and it lasts for ages!
