What's included in the Shea Bliss Botanical Blend kit?

The kit contains shea butter, kombo butter, cocoa butter, and red palm oil — equal parts at your chosen size — plus detailed step-by-step recipe instructions. Everything you need except basic kitchen tools and optional essential oils.

What ratio should I use for the four ingredients?

Start with equal parts — 1:1:1:1 of each ingredient — for the balanced classic formula. In future batches, increase kombo butter to emphasize myristoleic acid content, add more red palm for deeper vitamin A and E content, more cocoa for a firmer texture, or more shea for extra deep moisture penetration.

Will the body butter have an orange colour?

Yes — the red palm oil gives the finished body butter a warm orange-golden tint. This colour is a natural sign of genuine unrefined vitamin content, specifically beta-carotene. It absorbs completely into skin without staining skin or clothes.

Is the red palm oil in this kit sustainable?

Yes. Baraka's red palm oil comes from small-scale farmers in Ghana's Western Region using traditional processing methods — not industrial plantations that cause deforestation. No rainforest destruction, no habitat damage. Every batch is traceable to its Ghanaian source.

How long does the finished body butter last?

When stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, the finished Shea Bliss Botanical Blend body butter stays fresh for 6–12 months. The raw kit ingredients last 2+ years when stored properly.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

The Shea Bliss Botanical Blend is straightforward but best suited to those with some DIY experience — managing four ingredients and the straining step requires a little confidence. The full recipe instructions walk you through every step.

Does buying this kit support the women in Ghana?

Yes. Every Baraka kit purchase supports fair trade women's cooperatives in Northern Ghana who handcraft the shea butter, communities who sustainably harvest kombo butter, and small-scale farmers who produce the red palm oil and cocoa butter.

DIRECTIONS

Weigh out the butters and oils and put in a double boiler to melt.
When melted strain into a cooling dish that you can use to whip the mixture in after it solidifies.
Leave it to cool (you can put it in the fridge if you want, but stir frequently or it will be too hard on the outside and still liquid in the centre.
If using cocoa, moringa or other powders or essential oils add them in as you start to mix.
Whip until it is a light, fluffy consistency (more whipping will give you a softer product (more air whipped in) that will need more containers to hold it all.
Put it into containers. I like to put it into a plastic bag, remove the air and cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and squeeze it into containers, but some like to simply spoon it in.
Put covers on containers, label and use (or give away, or sell)L

CAUTIONS WHEN USING RED PALM OIL

While Red Palm Oil has many amazing properties that will make your hair and skin happy, it may make you sad if you don’t take care of the colour. It can stain sheets and clothes (fortunately it absorbs quickly and the very things that give it the colour (carotenoids) are powerful protection against UV Rays). If you have light hair you should test it in a small area and avoid leaving it on your hair for an extended period.
