ABOUT NILOTICA SHEA BUTTER

Our Nilotica shea butter is perfect when….

You are desperate for a natural solution for your skin.

You’re frustrated because you have been looking for a product to take care of your skin for ages and are fed up with all the artificial products that don’t work, and you can’t find anything that is actually natural and actually works.

You love the products you make but question the ingredients.

You’re tired, because you love making personal care products with the best ingredients on the market, but you don’t know what to believe about where they come from and how they are made.

You don’t know which supplier to trust.

You want to bring the very best unique and natural ingredients to your customers from across the world, but you have been disappointed again and again by suppliers.

My whole family uses Nilotica for everything. In fact we use it soo much, a 500g jar lasts only about 4 weeks. And knowing it empowers women up North and that it is natural.. It just makes me happy :).

When customers ask me to recommend ingredients, Nilotica is almost always on the list. It is clean, pure and effective so it helps my clients create products that meet customer demands.
