East African Shea Butter

Not all shea butter is the same!There is another rarer and little known variety of shea butter from East Africa called Nilotica shea butter which is produced from the nuts of the Vittelaria nilotica shea tree, a sub-species of the much more common Vittelaria paradoxa West African variety.

Shea butter is an oil rich in fats that is derived from the karite tree (also known as the Shea tree) which is your solution for many skin, health, and hair health issues. The Karite tree bears the fruits, and the nuts inside the fruits are of prime importance. These nuts are crushed, boiled, and manipulated to extract a light-colored fat, which is commonly referred to as Shea butter. The main components of Shea butter include oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, etc.This butter has gained huge popularity in the western world due to its widespread use in several beauty products, such as lotions, cosmetics, shampoos, and conditioners.
