What is Shea Nilotica Butter?
Shea Nilotica Butter is a rare and luxurious type of shea butter derived from the nuts of the East African Shea tree, Vitellaria nilotica. Unlike the more common West African Shea butter, Shea Nilotica is prized for its softer texture, higher content of essential fatty acids, and a rich profile of vitamins and antioxidants. This butter is a superb natural moisturizer that nourishes and revitalizes the skin.
Why Choose Shea Nilotica Butter?
Our Shea Nilotica Butter stands out for its exceptional quality and numerous benefits:
- Ultra-Soft Texture: Unlike regular shea butter, Shea Nilotica is known for its silky smooth and easily spreadable consistency, making it a delight to apply.
- Deeply Moisturizing: Its high concentration of oleic acid (up to 25% more than West African Shea butter) penetrates deeply into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration.
- Nutrient-Rich: Packed with vitamins A and E, Shea Nilotica Butter helps to rejuvenate and repair the skin, promoting a healthy and youthful appearance.
- Pure and Natural: Sourced from the remote regions of East Africa, our Shea Nilotica Butter is organic, unrefined, and free from harmful additives and chemicals.
- Ethically Sourced: We work directly with local communities in Uganda and South Sudan to ensure fair trade practices and support sustainable harvesting methods.
Benefits of Shea Nilotica Butter
