Nilotica Shea Butter 1 kg – Raw Unrefined East African Shea for Skin, Hair & DIY

Nilotica Shea Butter 1 kg – Raw Unrefined East African Shea for Skin, Hair & DIY

1 kg of pure, unrefined Nilotica shea butter sourced from Northern Uganda and shipped from France. Naturally softer and creamier than conventional West African shea, it melts quickly on contact and can be used on the face, body, hair or in DIY formulations.

The Rarest Shea Butter on Earth

Soft. Creamy. Naturally melt-on-contact.

Sourced directly from Northern Uganda and shipped from France, our Nilotica Shea Butter is unlike the hard, waxy shea most people know.

Harvested only once per year along the Nile Valley, Nilotica is prized for its exceptionally soft texture, high oleic acid content, and luxurious feel on skin and hair.

This is 1kg of pure, unrefined Nilotica Shea Butter — cold-pressed, laboratory tested, and carefully selected for freshness and quality.

Why Nilotica Is Different

Most shea butter comes from West Africa and remains firm at room temperature.

Nilotica grows exclusively in the Nile Basin of East Africa, where a unique climate and genetics create a butter that is naturally softer, creamier, and easier to spread.

The Difference You Can Feel

✓ Naturally soft and creamy

✓ Melts instantly on contact with skin

✓ Fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel

✓ Rich in naturally occurring vitamins and phytosterols

✓ Higher oleic acid content than conventional shea butter

✓ Suitable for face, body, hands, lips, and hair

Many customers discover Nilotica after trying conventional shea and finding it too hard, too waxy, or too heavy.

Nilotica shea butter naturally melts at skin temperature, transforming from a creamy butter into a silky oil-like veil that spreads effortlessly across skin and hair.

This unique sensory experience is one of the reasons Nilotica is often preferred over conventional West African shea butter.

Freshness Matters

Not all shea butter is equal.

Behind every jar is a carefully managed supply chain focused on quality, traceability, and consistency.

Each batch is sourced from trusted producers, laboratory tested, and selected according to strict quality standards before being offered for sale.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Because Nilotica has a naturally low melting point, it may soften during warm weather or transportation. This is completely normal and does not affect quality.

If desired, place the container in a cool room or refrigerator briefly to restore firmness.

Shelf Life: 24 Months
