Beautiful Skin Care from Nature Shea Terra Organic's Nilotik Oil is naturally fractionated from virgin rare Ugandan shea butter. This emollient oil has superior skin softening and protecting properties. Shea Nilotik’ Oil is extracted from a rare butter from East African vitellaria nilotica trees. The collection and processing of the shea nuts provides much needed income to rural Ugandan women. Why Use East Africa's Creamy Shea Butter? Nilotik’ shea butter is a premium, 100% cold pressed shea from East African trees. This butter is naturally softer and creamier than their West African counterpart, which is generally waxier. It also has less stearin and a higher olein content. The butter spreads smoothly on skin so it is easier and faster to apply. It has little to no naturally-occurring aroma (West African's has a pungent aroma). Nilotik’ shea butter is gentle enough to use as a facial cream and aids the retention of moisture, making it a must for any beauty formula. Natural Beauty that Empowers Shea Terra Organics is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra Organics grew out of Tammie’s vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa. Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source our natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.
