Introducing Nilotica Shea Butter

In the heart of Uganda, amidst the African savannah, lies a remarkable tree known as the Shea Nut tree or 'moo-yahoo tree' in the local language. From its fruits, a precious butter is extracted, known as Nilotica Shea Butter. With its rich heritage and incredible therapeutic benefits, this unique shea butter is here to revolutionize your skincare routine.

Shea Nut trees are considered a divine gift to Uganda, blessed with a lifespan of over 300 years. These majestic trees bear fruits annually, starting at 15 to 20 years of age, creating a sustainable source of nourishment for generations to come. It is truly nature's gift to Uganda and Uganda's gift to the world.

Guru Nanak Oil Mills, the pioneering producer in East Africa, has taken the responsibility of carefully processing Shea nuts from over 200 local farmers to produce the finest Nilotica Shea Butter. The production process adheres to a pure, natural approach, free from any chemical treatments. This ensures that every jar of Nilotica Shea Butter retains its pristine quality, potency, and purity.

Derived from the Shea nuts collected from the fallen fruit, the nuts are meticulously cleaned, washed, and dried under the warm African sunshine before being processed into this nearly scentless butter. Nilotica Shea Butter is not just any ordinary butter—it is a powerhouse of therapeutic benefits for your skin. Packed with nourishing vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids, it deeply moisturizes, softens, and rejuvenates the skin. Whether you're seeking relief from dryness, soothing irritated skin, protecting your skin barrier from daily exposures, or enhancing your skin's radiance, Nilotica Shea Butter delivers.
