I was just going to ask the same thing.    Where do you get it?  Is it the same as Shea lotion? 

Cynde

African Shae Oil...comes from the Shae nut which comes from the Karite tree in west africa.  It is the same nut that they get Shae Butter from...but this is the pure oil.  Think of Shae butter as an oil...it is very rich and moisturising.  Most health food stores sell it.  I found it at a Jimbo's store. The particular brand that I buy it "Inesscents" arromatic botanicals.

Here is the info off the bottle:
