Wild-Harvested Nilotica Shea Butter 100 gram - Akamuti

For everyone who loves shea butter, Nilotica shea butter from East Africa is a must-have. This natural treasure is also known as golden shea butter.

Nilotica shea butter is naturally soft

Unlike West African shea butter, Nilotica shea butter is naturally soft and smooth, making it easy to use straight from the jar. It has a higher oleic acid content, which contributes to its soft, creamy consistency and allows the butter to melt easily on contact with the skin.

The shea butter is cold-pressed and produced without chemical processing, helping to preserve its natural properties, light creamy color, and characteristic scent. The aroma is naturally earthy with a slightly smoky note.

Ideal for dry and problem skin

Shea butter is like creamy “food” for the skin and helps make it soft, smooth, and naturally moisturized. It is a rich, nourishing butter that naturally contains, among other things, vitamins A and E, and is suitable for most skin types, especially dry and very dry skin.

Its rich consistency makes shea butter especially pleasant to use on dry and exposed areas such as elbows, heels, and lips. It can also be used to soften and care for skin that feels dry, tight, itchy, or irritated, as well as after sun exposure.

Popular moisturizer for pregnant women

Shea butter is also popular for keeping the skin soft and supple during pregnancy or for use in massage. It can be applied directly to the skin or mixed with, for example, coconut oil or another favorite oil to create a softer, more easily spreadable consistency.

Unrefined and produced by a women’s cooperative 

Akamuti’s East African shea butter is unrefined, wild-harvested, and produced by a women’s cooperative in Kenya. They use harvesting and production methods that have been used for thousands of years.

"Women’s gold"

Shea butter production is one of the women’s greatest assets and provides them with a secure income for their families. The women harvest, clean, and press the nuts themselves within their community, and then have the opportunity to negotiate their own price before the product arrives in Europe for filtering and cleaning. This raw material has had significant positive effects on communities in Kenya. That is why shea butter is often called “women’s gold”.

100% Nilotica shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) – unrefined and cold-pressed. Nothing else.

Shea butter naturally contains a substance similar to latex, so if you are allergic to latex, you should avoid this butter. People with psoriasis are advised to perform a patch test in the crook of the arm before using shea butter, as shea butter stimulates cell renewal.

Dark, dry, and cool.
