Nilotica Shea Butter — 125 ml Wild-Harvested, Single Ingredient

Nilotica Shea Butter — 125 ml Wild-Harvested, Single Ingredient

One ingredient. Solid in the jar, silk on your skin. Nilotica is the rare East African cousin of classic shea — richer in olein, so it melts at body temperature and absorbs without a greasy film.
THE EXPERIENCE
Take a pea-sized amount. Hold it against your skin for two seconds — it transforms from solid butter to a silky oil before you finish the thought. That is not an added emollient or a wax doing the work. It is the natural structure of Nilotica: a melting point just below skin temperature.
Why Nilotica, not regular shea
Classic West African shea spreads. Nilotica transforms. Its higher oleic-acid fraction gives it a lower melting point, a creamier texture with no grain, and a mild scent with none of the smokiness of conventional shea. It is harvested from Vitellaria nilotica trees growing wild in the Nile shea belt of Uganda — never plantation-grown, never picked, only gathered once the fruit falls.
How to use
• Face: a half-pea amount on damp skin, evenings, as the last step of your routine
• Body: melt between palms, apply on slightly damp skin after showering
• Hair: a small amount on lengths and ends, or as an overnight mask
• Lips, cuticles, elbows: as is
