Shea Nilotica
East African Shea Butter, Vitellaria Nilotica | Uganda
Nilotica shea butter is derived from a rare species of the shea tree. These trees are grown along the Nile river and are exclusive to Uganda and South Sudan.
This butter is cold-pressed and unrefined with a soft and creamy texture. Its inherent nutty aroma is milder than its west African counterpart. It has easy spreadability making it ideal for all skin types.
Upon contact with the skin, Shea Nilotica immediately melts in the body due to the high oleic acid content. There is no greasy or waxy on the skin after application. Shea Butter has endless benefits for both skin and hair.

Shea Nilotica Body Butter / Skin Softener -After a shower or bath (when skin is damp), rub a small amount of Nilotica Butter all over body — hands, elbows, knees, heels. This helps trap moisture. Focus on dry spots.
Use on areas that are cracked, irritated, or in need of extra moisture — e.g. dry hands, cuticles, rough patches, lips. The anti-inflammatory and moisturizing action helps soothe
Shea Nilotica Layered Use- You can layer it over serums or lighter oils. For example: cleanse → serum → a few drops of oil → Shea Nilotica as the occlusive/top layer to seal everything in. Because of its richness, you may only need a small amount. — works especially well at night.
