Nilotica Shea butter

SAHARÔME's Nilotica Shea Butter is a premium East African shea butter obtained by first cold pressing the kernels of Vitellaria paradoxa subsp. nilotica, a botanically distinct shea subspecies native to Uganda. Naturally softer, creamier and faster melting than conventional West African shea butter, it offers a unique sensory profile highly appreciated in premium cosmetic formulations. Its naturally higher oleic acid content and lower stearic acid level provide improved spreadability, a lighter skin feel and excellent emollient properties while preserving the nourishing benefits traditionally associated with shea butter.
