Shea butter nilotica, organic

Shea butter Nilotica, organic is obtained from the fruit kernels of the sheanut species Nilotica, which grows exclusively in Uganda and South Sudan. The raw butter is light beige and almost odourless. It contains a high proportion of oleic acid and stearic acid. Shea butter Nilotica organic is particularly soft and supple and very easy to apply. Our Shea butter Nilotica is certified ORGANIC, COSMOS, NATRUE and KOSHER. It can be stored for at least 24 months.

Shea butter Nilotica organic has an antioxidant and cell-protective effect. It is easily absorbed without becoming greasy. The butter is ideal for the care of dry, chapped and irritated skin. Shea butter Nilotica organic is used in emulsions and balms as a nourishing active ingredient and consistency enhancer.

Already in 1998 GURUNANAK OIL MILLS LTD was founded as the first professional company in Uganda and East Africa for the production of the precious Nilotica Shea butter organic.
