Unrefined Shea Butter for Raw and Organic Body Care

Compact by Design is our initiative focused on sustainability. Small changes in product size and weight can lead to lower carbon emissions. We have created this program to identify products that, although they may not always appear visually different, possess a more efficient design. By removing excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these minor differences in product size and weight result in significant reductions in carbon emissions.

There are several ways products can qualify for the Compact by Design program. Our pure and unrefined shea butter, for instance, is ideal for ultra-rich skin moisturization, soothing dry, cracked skin and fighting inflammation. This high-quality shea nut product is safe for all skin types, from chapped to oily. Furthermore, it can be used to make a variety of DIY organic skin care items, such as whipped body butters, soaps, hair conditioners, and lotions.

Authenticity and ethical sourcing are also key principles of Compact by Design. Our shea butter is ethically sourced and made by co-ops of Ghanaian women in West Africa through fair trade practices. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, which is why Essential Living accepts returns for 30 days from the date of delivery.

In summary, Compact by Design is our initiative aimed at identifying products that, despite minimal visual differences, possess a more efficient design. By reducing excess materials, these products require less packaging and shipping, leading to lower carbon emissions. Our shea butter exemplifies this approach, providing rich moisturization while being ethically sourced and versatile for DIY skin care. We are committed to sustainability and customer satisfaction, offering a 30-day return policy to ensure your complete satisfaction.
