mbrown Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 and if so where can I find it? I would like to read up on it. I did a yahoo search and didn't come up with anything. I never knew there was such a thing. There was a lady with a sign at a show I was doing this weekend and in big letters it read ORGANIC SHEA and she sold it for $15 for 4oz :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Try http://www.agbangakarite.com/. They state "We produce our shea butter and African black soap in Togo under fair trade and organic standards." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrown Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Okay.....I really don't mean to sound stupid but under who's standards is it organic. The USA standards? Is all their shea organic? I am going to call in AM and ask. I am very curious about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Let us know what you find out. I just got some of their shea and it is wonderful. I really like that they use fair trade practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNK Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 AgbangaKarite shea is organic, but not certified organic as far as i know. like a lot of things that come from abroad. people there do not have money for pesticides (sp?), they just harvest what grows around them. and of course they have no money to get a certification.i'm now sure if there is such a thing as organic certified shea. so, that woman you saw knew what to put on the label. people who buy shea in bulk know that hand-processed shea is organic... but customers don't. so, she put it on the label. good marketing i have to say... i wonder if she had "not certified" specified somewhere on the label, in a really, really small print. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
