Also called muyao butter, Nile shea butter is produced from the nuts of shea butter trees growing in East Africa, and is quite different from West African solid shea butter - the texture is soft and smooth like silk, the smell is almost invisible and the brighter yellow color is provided by antioxidant carotenoids. Because it is softer and absorbs more quickly than shea butter, we recommend muyao butter for those with more fragile and sensitive skin who need a softer, creamier emollient consistency, e.g. for babies or the elderly.

Nile subspecies of the African butter tree (Vitellaria paradoxa subsp. nilotica (Kotschy) is an endemic tree that grows in the Upper Nile region of Central Africa - South Sudan and Uganda.
The oil cold-pressed from its nuts (more precisely, the kernels of the berries) is slightly different from the oil that comes from its relative, the African butter tree (Vitellaria paradoxa subsp. paradoxa), which grows in Ghana, West Africa.
This is determined both by the growing conditions of these trees and the methods of extracting oil from their nuts. Nile butter trees grow much higher (650-1,600 m above sea level) than idol butter trees, which usually grow at 100-600 m above sea level. Nile butters get more moisture, while giant butters grow in drier conditions.
Shea butter oil in Ghana is made by heating the crushed nuts in water, while Ugandans cold press Nile shea butter oil. Nile Shea Butter is softer, easier to spread and absorb than shea butter.
Characteristics of Nile Shea Butter:
Nile shea butter is characterized by a warm yellowish color, its texture is as soft as silk, and the smell is extremely delicate.
Nile Shea butter is soft, so it is easy to apply. Compared to Ghana Shea Butter, it contains less stearin but more monounsaturated oleic fatty acids, making it a great replacement for body lotion or lotion on large areas of skin.
On hotter summer days, the oil has liquefied because it melts at a temperature of 25-30 degrees.
Nile shea butter not only covers the skin evenly, but also penetrates deep into it - the skin immediately becomes softer, dries more slowly, and fine lines are smoothed out.
The antioxidant properties of Nile butter tree oil are determined by vitamin E (up to 11.5 mg per 100 g), provitamin A and the same polyphenols as in green tea (up to 75 mg per kilogram). As a result, applying it regularly to the skin slows down the aging process and reduces the possibility of the appearance of pigment spots.

It is advisable to use pure.
