Shea Nilotik’ Lip Savior (Rose Hips)

Our Shea Nilotik’ Lip Savior protects, moisturize & heals your lips with ethically sourced cold pressed oils. We believe that better economy shouldn’t come at the expense of the ecosystem. With that in heart, we source our ingredients from community projects that help to protect & conserve the local ecosystem. That’s also why our lip balm is packaged carefully in an eco-friendly, food grade paperboard tube to reduce plastic waste.

At the heart of this lip balm is the rare, cold pressed nilotica shea butter from East Africa i.e. Uganda. Unlike commonly found shea butter from West Africa, our nilotica shea butter is never boiled. The nuts are wild harvested & mill pressed to produce a superior butter. The resulting butter is naturally creamy, emollient & has a naturally light scent. It has higher vitamin E content, offering our lips hours of soothing relief.

One of our most potent, secret ingredients in this emollient lip balm is actually a little known wild plum oil. In addition to softening skin, this thick oil is traditionally used to soften leather. Then, to enhance the emollience of our lip savior we’ve incorporated desert date oil, also known as balanites oil, found in the great pyramids. We chose this particular lip softening oil because it is produced in Burkina Faso as part of a wild life conservation project. This conservation project has seen a positive impact on Africa’s elephant population, an animal in great danger of extinction.

The sprawling desert melon, coined Kalahari melon by us, provides our lips with the antioxidants & essential fatty acids it needs. For hundreds of years, this melon provides desert dwellers with a source of income as well as being a nutritious oil for their families. To seal in moisture & protect lips, we had sought out the highest quality golden beeswax we could find. Our beeswax is collected from a beekeeping project in Uganda. This project is the bread & butter for rural inhabitants of the pristine forests in Uganda. Their beeswax undergoes filtering, but never refining ensuring that all of its medicinal properties stay intact.

Lastly, wild harvested rubiginosa rose hips oil is added in this lip balm, topped with naturally flavored rose & stevia. All these gives your lips comfort that last for hours, while healing it from within. Use it at the start of the day to protect your lips from environmental damage. Use it again during your night routine or before bed to let your lips heal while you’re sleeping.
