The Golden Strength of Ugandan Shea Butter
Pure Nilotica/Ugandan Shea
INGREDIENTS: Unrefined Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter)
Not all shea is created equal — and if you’ve never experienced Ugandan shea butter, you’re missing one of the richest, most nourishing gifts from the continent.

🌾 What Makes Ugandan Shea Butter So Special?
Unlike the more commonly known West African (Ghanaian) shea, Ugandan shea butter comes from the Vitellaria nilotica tree — a variation of the shea tree that produces softer, creamier, and more nutrient-dense butter.
This form of shea is cold-pressed straight from wild-grown shea nuts, without bleaching, refining, or chemical interference. It’s raw, unrefined, and full of truth.

💛 Skin-Loving Benefits
Ugandan shea butter is:
• Naturally rich in oleic acid – more than other types of shea
• Highly moisturizing – perfect for dry, cracked, or sensitive skin
• Deeply penetrating – great for stretch marks, scars, and eczema
• Soft and spreadable – no need to melt or overwork it
• Vitamin-packed – A, E, F, and K to restore skin barrier and elasticity
It doesn’t sit on the skin. It sinks into it.

🖤 A Raw Truth Foundation
At Raw Truth by Nikki Z, our Ugandan shea butter is sourced directly from East Africa, where the land is wild, clean, and powerful. We work with communities who harvest with care — not factories that strip the soul from the product.
This butter is the foundation of many of our products — from body creams to lotion bars — because it does the work without needing to be dressed up.
