The Duo · Tube + Jar

The jar at home, the tube everywhere else. One ingredient in two formats: wild-harvested East African nilotica shea (Vitellaria paradoxa subsp. nilotica), cold-extracted, unrefined.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 125 ml tube — bag, desk, travel; hands, lips, face on the go
• 1 kg jar — the home reserve: body, hair, family use, refilling the tube ritual
WHY NILOTICA, NOT REGULAR SHEA
Classic West African shea spreads. Nilotica transforms. Its higher oleic-acid fraction (~60–70%) gives it a melting point just below skin temperature — hold it against your skin for two seconds and it turns from solid butter to silky oil. Creamier texture, no grain, a mild nutty scent with none of the smokiness of conventional shea.
FROM EAST AFRICA TO YOUR SHELF
Gathered wild in the Nile shea belt of Uganda — never plantation-grown — then cold-extracted with no solvents and no refining. Every batch is analysed and traced in Toulouse, France, potted by hand in small runs and shipped fresh.
INGREDIENTS (INCI)
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter* — *Vitellaria nilotica. That is the whole list. No preservatives, no fragrance, no water.
DETAILS
