    HOW TO USE
This is not your mama's shea butter. Shea Nilotik' Cold Pressed Shea Butter is the queen of all shea butter. USDA-certified organic Shea Nilotik' Cold Pressed Shea Butter is far superior to any other shea butter on the market. Shea butter trees in Uganda produce a different variety of shea butter than shea trees found westward. The nuts naturally produce a butter that is much softer with a pleasant, earthy aroma. The wild nuts are collected by the women from the communal lands and sold to a Ugandan-owned mill where it is cold pressed under meticulous conditions.

The women earn a decent amount of money for selling the nuts they have collected, and this is oftentimes the only form of cash the women will ever receive. This cash allows them to send their children to school and purchase school supplies as well as food and medicine. The butter itself is very high in pro-vitamin A and vitamin E. It is very soft, thus easy to spread from head to toe. The butter is not only good for vanishing dry skin, but it is also good for stretch marks, lips, wrinkles, hands, feet, crow's feet, and conditioning hair as well. 

In stark contrast, despite claims of fair trade, the butter produced in West Africa is neither fair nor hygienic. In West Africa, women must collect nuts, separate them from the fruit, break open their hard shells, decor the nuts, dry the nuts, roast them, and manually crush them into powder, before.... walk for miles to collect firewood and water, dragging the firewood and water to the production site, boil the nuts for several hours, use their arms as human blenders for several hours to get the butter to separate from the nut paste, strain the nut paste, fry the nut paste for several hours to get the water to evaporate, strain the butter, and then fill into containers to cool. Often time this butter is shipped to Europe where it is put under extreme conditions to deodorize and bleach it. This white butter, often times listed as certified organic, is found in most shea butter products today.

Some West African shea butter actually has Fair Trade certification believe it or not. If one can purchase West African shea butter in the market for $1-$2 an lb. from middlemen, then how much would the women be getting for their butter? Women in Morocco go through a similar process to make argan oil, although they do not boil it. However, women in Morocco make about 15-20 times more making argan oil by hand than the women in West Africa make for their shea butter

Shea Nilotik' Shea Butter is the natural choice of shea butter for those looking for high-quality shea butter produced under hygienic conditions. The Ugandan-owned mill that presses the butter is food grade. Shea Niloitk' Shea Butter is actually food-grade shea butter in its raw state from the mill. The butter never goes to Europe for refining, yet does not have a strong, undesirable odor. Shea Nilotik' Shea Butter can be used all over the body and hair and is even safe for babies and animals.

Fabulous nilotica shea butter

I love this shea butter! It has a soft, even texture and is a fail proof way to heal very dry skin. I use it in the evening, right after showering and while my skin is still damp. I use a generous amount which takes a good half hour or so to absorb completely. Last night it was quite warm in my tropical neck of the woods so I skipped the butter, but my still felt great from previous use. I am crazy in love with the frankincense -so much so that I haven't yet tried the lavender I purchased at the same time though I am a big fan of lavender. Please don't ever discontinue the frankincense nilotica shea. Kudos to Shea Terra for a excellent product.

I have used both West

I have used both West and East African shea butters on my skin going on 15 years. I continue to use them because simply put, they WORK. And yes, I have given many, many other skin care brands and products a very fair chance to do the same thing, but I keep coming back to & using this brand. I'm 54 years old and my skin, head to toe, has never looked better!

Nourishes Hair

I use this daily on my hair. I apply a little after shower and when hair dries I reapply and comb through. This replaces all my styling products. None more are needed. My son uses Shea Butter on his forehead which tends to be a dry area.

LOVE!

This is one of my favorite Shea Terra products! I've used it in so many ways. It's so easy to use, nice and creamy and not waxy at all. Diaper rash, cuts or scrapes, dry patches (I had one for months on my ear....and after a few days of using the frankincense shea butter on it, the patch was gone and hasn't come back.) Sometimes at night, I pat some into my face for anti-aging benefits, in the areas where lines are starting to appear. I also apply it over the lotion on my hands, to help fade my age spots that are starting to appear. They seem to be fading and my very damaged skin on my hands is definitely looking younger! This is great to use just after a bath or washing your skin, because then it can seal in moisture. Some people don't understand that if they want moisture, they must apply that first and/or seal it in with the shea butter. Thanks for an amazing product, Shea Terra!

Hair Conditioner

The wife and I use this primarily as a hair conditioner and it works quite well once you dial in the proper quantity. This is a very high quality and concentrated shea butter. The frankincense is a delightful and true resinous citrus on the top note and a woody earthiness on the base note. I purchased another as to not run out.
