Nilotica Shea Butter — Pader, Northern Uganda
Collected from wild-growing Vitellaria nilotica trees
that thrive across the savannah plains of Northern Uganda. The shea nuts are hand-gathered and traditionally sun-dried by women’s cooperatives, then cold-pressed into a naturally soft, creamy butter rich in oleic acid, vitamins, and restorative plant lipids.
For many women in Pader, the shea trade has become a pathway to rebuild stability and economic independence after years of conflict — transforming a native tree into a source of dignity, income, and community resilience.
Our founder visited northern Uganda herself, partnering directly with the growers — ensuring fair pricing, dignified livelihoods, and a supply chain rooted in relationship, not extraction.

Definitely a great product and I love the story behind how it’s produced and by who.
I love this product! I have used it for the past 6 months for my hair as well as some eczema, and it has been amazing!
I have dry curly hair and have used Shea butter for awhile to help moisturise my curls. I prefer this product over other store bought brands that tend to be a lot firmer and waxy and don't absorb as well into my hair and skin. I find this product gives great shine and moisture to my curls -I use it everytime I wash my hair!
I also have eczema that flares up every once in awhile on my hands. I tried putting some of this Shea butter on it and it took away the itching instantly! It also moisturises my skin, whereas the medicated cream I had used previously usually used dries it out and creates painful cracks on my hands. I love that I have found a healthier and natural alternative to treat and relieve the symptoms of my eczema!
All in all, I love it and its a great and versatile product!
Amazing!
Loved it.
Best face moisturizer Ive ever used! A litle goes a long way. Leaves my skin feeling hydrated, dewy and refreshed using all natural ingredients.
