Benefits of Nilotica Shea
Benefits of Nilotica Shea
- For your skin (B2C):
Deeply emollient balm‑to‑oil glide that softens and smooths. – Helps support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss (occlusive + emollient action). – Naturally low‑scent, gentle on dry and sensitive skin. Always patch‑test. – Lower‑melting texture than West African grades — spreads easily and absorbs comfortably.
- For hair & scalp:
Seals in moisture, smooths frizz, and adds natural shine. – Great as a pre‑wash mask or to seal ends on textured hair.
- For formulators (B2B):
Rich in unsaponifiables and beneficial lipids; excellent emollient and consistency agent. – Softer rheology reduces graininess risk and improves spread in balms and sticks. – Performs well in anhydrous systems (balms, body butters, lip care) and as a cushion in emulsions. – Pairs well with lightweight esters and East African oils (e.g., marula, baobab) and natural waxes for structure.
- For people & planet:
Wild‑harvested from indigenous trees—your purchase helps protect shea landscapes. – Women‑first value chain with transparent quality premiums and community reinvestment. – Zero‑felling pledge; nurseries, FMNR and firebreaks maintained by local eco‑clubs.
- Use & care:
Cosmetic use only; no medical claims. Patch test before first use. – Store cool and dry; natural texture may soften in warm weather (this is normal). – Nut allergies: discontinue if irritation occurs.
