Shea Nilotik’ Cold Pressed Virgin Shea Butter

Just 100% pure, unrefined & cold pressed shea butter. Our Nilotik’ Shea Butter is the rare nilotica shea butter from East Africa. This is a different species from the commonly found West African shea butter. Hence, there are some differences from the usual shea butter you may have experienced before.

The most notable difference is that nilotica shea butter has a softer & creamier texture. It’s so easy to spread it on the skin, truly like melted butter. Plus, it absorbs into the skin much faster too!

Thus, making it perfect for around the eyes, face & hair. Another difference is; it naturally has little to no scent, while most West African shea butter has a strong nutty aroma. Therefore, nilotica shea butter is generally more well-accepted by most people.

A large part of the Shea Belt region in Africa is hot & dry with little water. So, access to clean water can be very limited. Especially during the dry season. That’s why some people prefer refined shea butter for hygiene reasons. Because the refinement process will kill germs & bacteria from the water used during the traditional extraction process.

While refining the shea butter ensures its cleanliness, but sadly the refinement process will also destroy the nutrients in the butter. Some shea butters are heavily refined until there are no more nutrients left too.

So unlike others, our shea butter does not undergo the traditional way of extracting shea butter which involves boiling. By cold pressing, our nilotica shea butter retains ALL of its original nutrients for skin benefits that you’re looking for.

Cold pressing also prevents any contamination since we don’t use water during the extraction process. Owing to that, there is absolutely no need to refine our cold pressed nilotica shea butter. This is our preferred method for getting premium quality, unrefined shea butter for you without compromising on hygiene.

Being 100% pure allows our nilotica shea butter to have a very versatile use. Our nilotica shea butter can be used from head to toe. It’s also suitable for people from all walks of life, including newborn babies.

Moreover, you can even blend it with your own essential oils or other extracts accordingly to your liking. Thus, be free to create your own unique personal balm or oil blend!
