Karité et Coco takes its name from shea (karité in French) and coconut, two of the raw ingredients at the center of its range. Founder Nisreen Ezzeddine, a journalist with more than two decades of experience, came to know shea, cocoa and coconut while living in Africa. Back in Lebanon she started the brand in Furn el-Chebbak to make simple, handmade products from them. The line has two parts. One is pure, unblended butters and oils: yellow and ivory shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil, for people who like to use ingredients on their own. The other is her own blends, such as the Hair Rejuvenation Blend, DecaGlow Hair Oil, PentaGlow Body Oil and a whipped Body Butter Blend. The raw butters are sourced from artisans in Africa, and the products are prepared by hand in Lebanon.
