Pure, Unmodified Nilotica shea butter
Your Gateway to Pure, Unmodified Nilotica Shea Butter
Our Nilotica shea butter is sustainably sourced, with assistance provided to women cooperatives for conservation efforts. It has a softer consistency than West African Paradoxa due its higher oleic acid (Omega-9) content. Its skin conditioning and viscosity controlling properties, excellent emollient characteristics, as well as its high concentration of unsaponifiables have soothing and antioxidant properties, making this your trusted secret for healthy hair and skin.
Our raw, organic Nilotica shea butter can be used as a high-quality ingredient in:
- Skincare: Lotions, creams, moisturizers, baby oils and sun care.
- Haircare: Shampoos and conditioner.
- Decorative cosmetics: Lip balms and lipsticks.
- Toiletries: Soaps and cleansers.
