Where does Lush source allanblackia butter from?

Lush source allanblackia butter from Tanzania, where it supports the protection of local communities and forests. Fruits of the Allanblackia stuhlmanii tree are wild-collected from the forest by farmers who use sustainable agroforestry practices, before the seeds are separated and sent to be processed into oil and butter. 45% of the people involved in the allanblackia butter supply chain are women. The butter's production provides a reliable income for communities, helping them reduce dependency on less reliable crops.
