Nilotica shea (Vitellaria nilotica) grows only in East Africa and contains higher oleic acid (Omega-9) and more unsaponifiable compounds than West African shea (Vitellaria paradoxa). This makes Nilotica softer, faster-absorbing, and more effective in premium formulations. It is priced at a premium because of its rarity and superior cosmetic performance.
