About SHEER SHEA
SHEER SHEA BUTTER & OIL (NILOTICA)
SHEER SHEA Butter comes from a shea nut called Nilotica found in Eastern Africa Uganda extracted straight from the source of the Nile. The shea nut tree is known locally as the ‘moo-yahoo tree’ which are grown naturally in Uganda and bare fruit once a year. Shea butter nuts are wild harvested by the local women then washed and dried in the sun. Processing is 100% chemical free ensuring a pure, natural and organic end product.
WHAT MAKES SHEER SHEA UNIQUE?
SHEER SHEA butter from Uganda is sweeter in aroma and has significantly higher content of olein which contains most of the therapeutic substances found in Shea butter. It is luxuriously softer with a creamier texture compared to the West African Shea butter (Paradoxa) which has to be rubbed with frictional heat. Nilotica Shea butter is unique and precious, a blend of natural compounds with unparalleled healing and moisturising effects on the skin.
Other differences include:- A superior moisturiser, lighter and readily absorbed into the skin and hair
- Its high content of non-saponifiables and unique fatty acid profile gives it the ability to moisturise and retain the elasticity of the skin
- Non greasy, non comedogenic and will not clog your pores
- Leaves the skin feeling soft and well-moisturized
- Production process is 100% free from chemical treatment - West African Shea butter is NOT!
- Shelf life of 2 years after opening
- 100% Certified Organic – USDA and ECOCERT certification which is the highest in the World since 2006. Shea Butter is imported directly from Uganda from a company called Shea Butter Uganda manufactured at Guru Nanak Oil Mills in Lira, Uganda.
