Shea butter has a long history as a cosmetic and skincare ingredient in Africa. It has been used for various purposes, including beauty, since ancient times. It was employed in ancient Egypt during Cleopatra's reign, where she used it for skin and hair care. According to legend, she received shea butter in large clay pots. Queen Sheba is also believed to have used shea butter. The exact origin of shea is not well-known due to changes in vegetation and continuous semi-domestication. In 2016, archaeologists discovered shea nut shells in houses in Burkina Faso dating back to 100 CE, providing evidence of its historical use. The trade in shea butter can be traced back roughly 4300 years ago to ancient Egypt, and there are documented records of its trade during the periods of 1352-1353 and 1795-1797 by explorers.
