Order high quality handcrafted Shea butter for your business here

Toontibo sells traditional high quality handcrafted Shea butter to companies that require top quality and a fair product. We provide ethically sourced Shea butter in a regenerative trading model.

Building a regenerative value chain

Toontibo’s purpose is to reverse the value chain in Shea butter trading that adds value to the source, Africa. Toontibo is co-owned by Dipaliya Women’s Association, producer of shea butter in Ghana, Africa. We pay the processors above the average fees, we give back to the community and build a regenerative ecosystem. We do all that by selling Shea butter – the women’s gold – to the cosmetics and food industry.
