Shea nuts are the seeds of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), a deciduous tree native to the savannah regions of Africa. They are primarily known for producing shea butter, a valuable fat used in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Shea trees are highly regarded for their economic and cultural importance in many African communities.
Shea nuts are primarily valued for their fat content, which is used to produce shea butter. Key components include:
Fatty Acids: Rich in stearic and oleic acids, making shea butter highly moisturizing.
Vitamins: Contains vitamins A, E, and F, which are beneficial for skin and hair health.
Anti-inflammatory Compounds: Includes triterpenes and cinnamic acid esters
Uses of Shea Nuts
Shea butter is widely used in cosmetics for skin moisturizers, lip balms, anti-aging creams, sun protection, and promoting hair and scalp health; in food as cooking fat, margarine, and a cocoa butter substitute in chocolate

AgroNGA premium quality supper dry Shea nuts. These oil-rich seeds are the source from which the popular Shea butter, the main active ingredient in a variety of hair and skin care products is extracted.
Shea butter fatty acid profiles
Shea butter is composed of five principal fatty acids: palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidic (see Table below). About 85 to 90% of the fatty acid composition is stearic and oleic acids. The relative proportion of these two fatty acids affects shea butter consistency. The stearic acid gives it a solid consistency, while the oleic acid influences how soft or hard the shea butter is, depending on ambient temperature.
The proportions of stearic and oleic acids in the shea kernels and butter differ across the distribution range of the species. Ugandan shea butter has consistently high oleic acid content, and is liquid at warm ambient temperatures. It fractionizes into liquid and solid phases, and is the source of liquid shea oil. The fatty acid proportion of West African shea butter is much more variable than Ugandan shea butter, with an oleic content of 37 to 55%. Variability can be high even locally, and a tree that produces hard butter can grow with one that produces soft butter.
Nuts are gathered from a wide area for local production, so shea butter consistency is determined by the average fatty acid profile of the population. Within West Africa, shea butter from the Mossi Plateau region of Burkina Faso has a higher average stearic acid content, and so is usually harder than shea butter from other West African regions.[6]
