Description
“Nilotica, or East African Shea Butter is made from the nut of the Vitellaria Nilotica, a sub species of the Karite tree. Native to East Africa, Shea Nilotica is much rarer and higher in conditioning properties than the Western Shea Butter. This soft and fluffy Shea Nilotica melts easily into the skin giving it intensive moisture, suppleness and silkiness.”

I have has psoriasis for about 12 years now. I have tried everything to keep it at bay, all the creams and potions from the GP and over the counter chemist remedies. A lady at my work told me about this product, she lives in Walthamstow and was a customer of the Bandale stall there. She picked me up a pot of this product, to be fair I was sceptical but I tried it. I am now on pot 3 and have picked up another 2 at the weekend. It won’t cure my psoriasis but it helps with the itching and drying out and it is looking better than it has for years. Thanks Guys.

Shea East is of a smoother oil rich texture than Shea West. It absorbs well and is great to be used neat on the skin. I use this for head to toe moisture and on my hair after washing with Bandale’s black soap. I am so glad to see Bandale has gone from strength to strength.

I have MCAS, EDS, and am on Accutane so I have very sensitive, fragile, dry skin, and am allergic to most cosmetics. I started using plain shea butter since it was in a lot of eczema-friendly products I was using and I wouldn’t have to worry about essential oils or artificial fragrance, then read about shea nilotica and have really wanted to try it for a while. I don’t normally leave reviews for things, but I spent days looking at different sellers for shea nilotica and am really glad that I bought it from here. It’s well priced, smells AMAZING (like fresh coffee!! I can’t use any sort of perfume and the natural smell of this makes me so happy!!), melts so much faster than regular shea butter, and doesn’t have a thick/waxy feel to it.

I am new to Shea Nilotica and to Bandale but I am now a convert. I have extremely dry skin and I have struggled for years to find something that will help. I believe my search is now over.
The service is amazing. Michael answered my questions and was really helpful. I first used this shea butter at my friend’s house and was amazed at how soft it was. I immediately went to look for it and I am happy I did.
