Nilotica Shea-Butter
What
is Nilotica ?
Nilotica
shea-butter comes from a sub-species of the shea-butter
tree indigenous to the Nile region of Africa. Shea-butter
from the nilotica variety is soft and fragrant, with
high levels of olein and therapeutic unsaponifiables.
Much softer
and smoother in consistency than conventional shea-butters,
nilotica shea-butter is a unique and precious botanical
substance, a blend of natural compounds with unparalleled
healing and moisturizing effects on the skin.

In support
of the Shea Project, COVOL and NUSPA are sole distributors
of the finest-quality crushed cold-pressed shea-butter from
the nilotic shea-butter tree. All proceeds from the sale of
Nilotica Shea Butter products sustain the Shea
Project.
