Shea Butter
SHEA BUTTER | Vitellaria paradoxa
some information about one of the ingredients that some of our products contain
Shea butter (/ʃiː/, /ˈʃiːə/, or /ʃeɪ/) is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). It is ivory in color when raw, with more processed versions being white, although it is commonly dyed yellow with borututu root or palm oil. It is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, salve or lotion. Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in some African countries. Occasionally, shea butter is mixed with other oils as a substitute for cocoa butter, although the taste is noticeably different.The English word "shea" comes from s’í, the tree's name in Bambara. It is known by many local names, e.g., Kpakahili in Dagbani, taama in Waala, nkuto in Twi, kaɗe or kaɗanya in Hausa, Òkwùmá in Igbo language, òrí in Yoruba language, karité in the Wolof language of Senegal, ori in some parts of West Africa, and many others.
Our Start...
Keith Coppuck, was inspired by the natural beauty of the South Wales coastline to create a company that produces beauty, health and wellbeing products of the highest quality, that have been ethically produced and sourced and with a mind to ensuring that everything used in the packaging of the products can be reused or recycled, helping to protect our precious planet.
In 2020 we proudly launched with our flagship product, our Anti-Ageing Whipped Shea Body Butter and have expanded and evolved our product collections to include a range of 100% natural Beeswax products like our best selling Wood Polish & Leather Polish

Welcome!
I am the founder of Rhoose Point Remedies based in The Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales. We moved to Rhoose Point in July 2019 which is just a few miles west of Cardiff, Wales’ capital city.
The majestic cliffs and beaches along the Glamorgan Heritage Coast are packed with secrets of the past, a coastal walk along the Bristol Channel, which has one of the biggest tides in the world, uncovers beautifully preserved ammonites. The Vale of Glamorgan is one of the best coasts for Jurassic fossils in Wales, offering corals, giant shells (brachiopods and gastropods) and bones.
Fact Alert … Rhoose Point is the most southerly part of Wales!
This is what gave the inspiration for the Rhoose Point Remedies logo, the ammonite to represent the Jurassic Coast and the Sunshine we get in our Micro Climate.
After 16 years of Project Management at Airbus I retired in 2016. To keep busy I started selling high street branded beauty and health products online.
At the beginning 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic, being restricted from travel and consequently gaining the benefit of more spare time, I began to think seriously about a dream I had cherished for some time, of producing my own Beauty and Wellbeing products.
Having gleaned a reasonable understanding of the market, especially what customers were looking for; what they do and don’t like, how important ethical, natural, organic, high quality and affordably priced products that achieve real results were, I decided to finally make the dream become a reality and develop a company that could provide products that would fulfil the customer’s wish list and so embarked on a steep learning curve of safety assessments and testing!
