Shea Terra works with indigenous tribes to discover these potent ancestral plants and minerals and offers these Superhero Ingredients through our concentrated formulas.

Shea Nilotik’ Shea Butter

Cold pressed, never boiled, this rare East African shea butter is much creamier and softer than its West African sister. The nuts of this differing species produce a butter that is higher in olein and tocopherols. This unrefined butter is exceptional for aging skin and after sun care. Unlike West African shea butter, which can build up in hair, Shea Nilotik’ Shea Butter is also ideal for damaged hair.

Desert Date

This bitter date sometimes serves as food when food is sparse. Growing in some of the most unhospitable conditions on earth, desert date is used extensively by people in marginalized regions for various purposes. From Africa to Asia, desert date is used on a variety of skin ailments as well as for softening of the skin.

Mongongo

Food of the iKung tribe of southern Africa, the wild growing nuts are packed with protein. They are also brimming with a nutritious skin care oil high in g-tocopherol. The oil is mostly comprised of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The oil is also high in linoleic acid (omega 6) and linolenic acid. Although it is a rich, emollient oil it soaks deeply into the skin providing protection and softening. The oil also contains eleostearic acid which makes it an ideal oil to protect hair against heat damage.

Since 2000, Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia. Our journey has allowed us to tap into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and share these remote beauty secrets with the world. Through our diverse line of skin and hair care products, you can embark on this journey of beauty wisdom with us.

East African Shea Nilotik’ Butter is Better for your Skin and Your Soul USDA certified organic Shea Nilotik’ Cold Pressed Shea Butter is superior compared to other shea butters on the market. That’s because shea trees in Uganda produce a different variety of shea butter than shea trees elsewhere. The butter produced from these nuts is softer and has a pleasant, earthy aroma. While both West African and East African (Nilotik’) shea butter offer many benefits, East African Shea Nilotik’ Butter has higher essential fatty acid content compared to West African shea butter. The essential fatty acid oleic, which is greater in Shea Nilotik’ Butter, is what gives the butter its smooth texture and moisturizing abilities. It also has a lower melting temperature making it easier to apply to the skin and hair. Shea Nilotik’ Butter is creamier and smoother in consistency and its aroma is sweeter-smelling compared to other varieties. West African shea butter is known for its pungent aroma, so it is often refined, bleached and deodorized, using very high heat, which destroys the beneficial skin properties of shea butter and results in a shea butter that is white. This white butter, often listed as certified organic, is found in most shea butter products today. Because Shea Nilotik’ butter doesn’t need to be bleached, our butter has a natural yellow color.

Apart from the comparably better benefits the East African variety of shea butter can do for the skin, its harvest and production is much more ethical and hygienic. In Uganda, shea butter trade follow fair-trade and strict hygiene practices. The mill in Uganda that press the butter is food-grade, therefore, in its raw state, the butter can be considered edible. It never goes through refinement or deodorization. The wild nuts are collected by women from communal lands and sold to Ugandan-owned mills where it is cold-pressed under meticulous conditions. The women engaged in this trade earn a decent wage, which then enable them to support their families through this livelihood alone. This is in stark contrast to shea butter from West Africa, where production is uncontrolled, unhygienic and strips the butter of its beneficial properties. After harvest and manual processing that require intense human labor, which isn’t fairly compensated, West African shea butter undergo harsh processes like boiling and frying before they get shipped to Europe where they are put under extreme conditions to deodorize and bleach them. The result is the refined white butter we often see in many popular skin products. Sadly, the unfair trade and questionable production involved in the West African variety of shea butter enables this variety’s popularity due to its low cost of production. Moreover, even though shea butter products derived from West African have strayed far from its original raw state, they are still often listed as “certified organic”. To us, this is misleading. Brands that use shea butter from West Africa are also able to obtain Fair Trade certification when retailing relatively low is evidence to the contrary.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for shea butter that boasts of superior quality and benefits, as well as true support fair trade practices, opt for the East African variety—Shea Nilotik’ Butter.
