Wagwan, I’m Angelina (aka Miss Marie) — the heart behind Shea-rï Butta.

Shea-rï Butta started with something personal: my desire to make everyday body care feel a little less ordinary.

Growing up with both Haitian and Jamaican roots, culture has always been an important part of who I am. When it came time to name my business, I wanted that identity to be woven into the brand. Shea-rï is inspired by chéri, a Haitian Creole term of endearment meaning “darling” or “dear,” while Butta is a playful nod to Jamaican patois. Put them together, and Shea-rï Butta was born.

From a Need to an Indulgence

My inspiration for Shea-rï Butta also comes from my own experience with sensitive, eczema-prone skin. Finding body products has often meant reaching for options that prioritize gentleness and moisture—which can sometimes leave the fun, fragrance, and luxury behind.

I wanted something different.

I wanted a product that could provide the rich moisture my skin craves while still feeling like something I was excited to reach for. Something soft. Something beautiful. Something that could sit proudly on my vanity instead of feeling purely but barley functional.

That idea became the foundation of Shea-rï Butta: combining need with luxury.

Whipped With Intention

Creating Shea-rï Butta has been a process of experimenting, learning, and perfecting. Even the smallest details matter to me.

During my early product testing, for example, I realized that yellow shea butter could transfer onto lighter clothing. Since I wanted my butter to fit effortlessly into someone's everyday routine, I transitioned to ivory shea butter. It's a small change, but it represents something much bigger especially with my love for fashion and the way I want to build this brand: listen, learn, improve, and never stop perfecting the experience.

Every Shea-rï product is created with that same intention—to transform moisturizing from another step in your routine into a moment of self-care and appreciation flaws and all.

Meet Our First Indulgence

That vision comes to life in Cheri Pistache, the first scent in the Shea-rï Butta collection.

With notes of cherry, pistachio, vanilla, and warm santal, Cheri Pistache is sweet, creamy, warm, and sophisticated. It's everything I wanted my first product to represent: nourishment with personality and everyday care with a little indulgence.

And it's only the beginning.

Where Shea-rï Is Going

My vision is to grow Shea-rï Butta from a handmade small business into a body-care brand found in homes everywhere. As the company grows, I never want to lose what made it special in the first place: culture, quality, consistency, creativity, and care.

I want Shea-rï to be for the person who takes their body care seriously but still wants it to be fun. For the person who loves smelling good which i get from my mother and she hers. For the person whose skin needs a little extra attention. And for anyone who believes the ordinary parts of life deserve to be romanticized with touch of luxury.

Thank you for being here at the beginning of this journey and allowing something I created for people like me to become part of your routine.

With love,
Miss Marie
