Description

Nilotica shea butter comes from the savannahs of East Africa. Also known as “East Shea Butter” in
English, it is extracted from the fruits, known as nuts, of a subspecies of the shea tree. Pressing and
boiling these nuts produces a nutrient-rich butter that melts at 28°C and becomes oily.

Its texture is softer and creamier than conventional shea butter, making it easier to apply without leaving an oily feel and helping nutrient absorption. Nilotica Shea Butter is rich in essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6), oleic and stearic acids, vitamins A, E and F, and substances such as tocopherol, polyphenols and phytosterols, among other nutrients.

Its main skin benefits include preventing and combating ageing, care and hydration, protection against external factors such as sun, wind and sudden temperature changes, skin regeneration, smoothing facial and body wrinkles, preventing and treating stretch marks and even dark circles, thanks to the elasticity and flexibility it gives the skin.

Nilotica shea butter is highly recommended for mature skin, tired or cracked skin (lips, heels and so on), irritated skin (rashes, psoriasis, eczema and even insect bites), dry and flaky skin, and also oily skin because it is rapidly absorbed.
It helps achieve a natural tan and reduces the appearance of dark spots, while also being useful for caring for sunburned skin.

Nilotica Shea Butter for Hair

It adds shine and softness to hair and is especially recommended for dry, frizzy hair.
It also helps protect against sun rays, salt, wind and other external aggressors.


Store below 28 degrees.
People allergic to latex should avoid this butter.

Translated review. I like the texture more than the shea butter I knew before. Softer, spreads well, not too greasy and absorbs well.

Translated review. An excellent product for mature, dehydrated skin. I use it on my face in the morning. It moisturises and protects against external factors. I also use it on my body, especially after sunbathing in summer.

Fatástico para pieles maduras

Producto óptimo para pieles maduras y deshidratadas. Lo uso para mi cara por las mañanas, hidrata y protege la piel de factores externos. Lo uso tambien para el cuerpo sobretodo en verano despues de tomar el sol.

Pros (original): Nutre y regenera la piel.

Cons (original): Puede resultar engorrosa su aplicación por el cuerpo. Hay que saber aplicar la cantidad correcta para evitar quedarse graso y manchar la ropa.

Translated review. I use nilotica shea butter on my face every day and have noticed that my skin has become softer and more velvety. I also apply it to my son's skin after mosquito bites and rashes, and the oil works very well, as the redness and itching disappear. I will buy more.

Muy bueno

Utilizo manteca de karité nilotica todos los días en mi cara y noté que la piel se ha vuelto más suave y aterciopelada. También unto la piel de mi hijo después de las picaduras de mosquitos y las erupciones cutáneas y el aceite funciona muy bien ya que el enrojecimiento y la picazón desaparecen. Compraré más.

Translated review. Nilotica shea butter and murumuru butter are my favourites. They suit all skin types and absorb very quickly, leaving the skin very moisturised. What I do not like is that it is refined, but finding this butter in very high quality is very difficult. I will keep buying this butter until I find an unrefined one. The container is very practical

La manteca de karite nilotica junto a la de murumuru son mis preferidas, sirven para todo tipo de pieles y se absorbe muy rapido, dejando la piel muy hidratada, lo que no me gusta es que sea refinada pero encontrar esta manteca de calidad muy alta es muy dificil, seguiré comprando esta manteca hasta que la consiga sin refinar, el envase muy práctico

Translated review. Nilotica is the best form of shea butter. It nourishes, moisturises and provides vitamins. It spreads very well because its consistency is not as hard as other butters, and it absorbs very quickly. The skin feels soft and silky. This product has surprised and delighted me, because I had tried regular shea butter and find nilotica superior. Thoroughly recommended, especially for atopic and sensitive skin, as it is free from perfumes, essential oils and other allergens.

La mejor manteca de karité que he probado nunca

La niolítica es la mejor forma en que se presenta el karité. Nutre, hidrata y aporta vitaminas. Se extiende muy bien, porque su consistencia no es tan dura como otras mantecas y su absorción es muy rápida. La piel se siente suave y sedosa. Me ha sorprendido y a la vez me ha encantado este producto, porque había probado la manteca de karité normal y encuentro que la niolítica es superior. Totalmente recomendable, sobre todo para pieles atópicas y sensibles, ya que está libre de perfumes, aceites esenciaes y otros alérgenos.

Pros (original): - Se extiende y se absorbe muy bien - Hidrata, nutre y calma la piel - Sin alérgenos ideal para todo tipo de pieles y en especial las atópicas y sensibles.

Cons (original): Al ser sólida hay que trabajar un poco más al extenderlas si se trata de zonas amplias del cuerpo.

Translated review. Excellent
