History
The Scientific name for Shea Butter is: Butyrospermum parkii, given in honour of Mr. Mungo Park, a great explorer, who first went upstream on the Gambia river at the end of the 18th Century.
Shea Butter is called shea-toulo
u, which literally translated, means tree-butter. The Shea Tree which resembles the American oak, and the fruit, from the kernel of which, being first dried in the sun, the butter is prepared by boiling the kernel in water, has somewhat the appearance of a Spanish olive, in which under the green rind is the kernal enveloped in a sweet pulp.
