When Tammie Umbel founded Shea Terra Organics in 2000, she was on a mission to help preserve Africa’s natural habitats by bringing awareness to Africa’s ancient skin care therapies.

“Shea butter, straight from the African source, was really cheap. So many people needed it for its therapeutic benefits, but could not afford it due to its artificially high price. Women across the shea butter belt literally had tons they couldn’t sell due to low demand of this ‘costly’ butter. What I did was make high quality shea butter products available to everyone at unheard of prices. The result was a shea butter revolution. Large bulk suppliers, selling to the skin care industry, further undercut my prices and shea butter has spread like wildfire ever since. I am very pleased with this accomplishment. Finally, there is a demand market for the women to sell their shea butter, and so many sufferers with painful and disfiguring skin care

problems are now able to afford relief.”

Since then, the company has gained quite a following (including the likes of Angelina Jolie) and recently added a “Fall Line” collection with 40 product additions, including new scents and exotic ingredients. But before we dip into the new line, here are a few time-tested and cherished products from Shea Terra that are worthy of some Sweet Lemon love:

1)     Argan, Zafron & Camel’s Milk Brightening Lait Crème, $32: This face cream helps to brighten dry, dull, or discolored skin with two ancient beauty secrets: camel’s milk and Moroccan saffron.

2)     Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Wash, $18: Based on an ancient African formula using African Black Soap, this face wash works like an exfoliator to get rid of dead skin and fight acne.

3)     Argan & Olive Nourishing Hand & Body Lotion, $18: The synergistic combination of organic argan and olive oil provides anti-aging essential fatty acids in a base of pure aloe vera juice.

    I’m a long time fan of this fab organic brand. A few of my faves are the ones you mention here, the black soap wash and the new brightening cream. Here’s an LCMlifestyle tip ~ as it says on the bottle, the black soap makes a great face mask, as well as a cleanser. I like to shower to open up pores, then apply the black soap wash like a mask and leave on as I apply body lotion, sunscreen, and blend up my morning smoothie. Rinse thoroughly and your skin looks like a million bucks all day long.
