East African Nilotica Shea Butter (also known as Muyao Butter) is a rare, luxurious variant of traditional shea butter. Extracted by mechanical pressing of the seeds from the Vitellaria paradoxa (subspecies nilotica) tree native to East Africa, this virgin butter is unrefined, retaining its characteristic nutty aroma and pale-yellow appearance.

Unlike the harder, waxier West African shea butter, Nilotica is prized for its soft, creamy, semi-solid texture. This makes it easier to blend and apply, offering formulators and DIY creators a butter that melts effortlessly into the skin.

Key Benefits:

  • Rich in oleic and stearic fatty acids for deep moisturization

  • Naturally high in Vitamins A and E, supporting skin repair and elasticity

  • Softer, creamier consistency — ideal for delicate or mature skin formulas

  • Excellent for after-sun care, soothing dry or stressed skin

  • Nourishes dry, brittle, or damaged hair with lightweight conditioning

Applications:

  • Whipped body butters, balms, and creams

  • After-sun lotions and hydrating serums

  • Hair masks and conditioners for dry or textured hair

  • Lip balms and hand/foot repair treatments

  • Premium natural soaps and artisan skincare

A bucket wrench is recommended with the 20lb pail.  Add one to your cart here.

Note: Natural butters and oils may melt during shipping or processing when exposed to high temperatures, and upon cooling they can sometimes re-solidify with a grainy texture or develop a thin white layer known as fat bloom (a harmless separation of fats such as stearic acid). This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the quality of your product. To restore a smooth consistency, simply warm the butter until fully liquefied, stir well, and then flash freeze in the original container or smaller jars. This process will return the butter to its creamy texture. Please note that returns are not accepted for graininess or fat blossom; if you have questions, contact us at info@bulknaturalswholesale.com.

I ordered a 5 lb bucket and received a half filled bucket weighing just over 3 lbs.

Not happy at all.

I apologize that you believe you did not receive your full order. I would like to provide some clarification. The bucket that you received holds 7.5 lbs when completely full. The five pound bucket that you ordered will only be around 3/4 full, as seen in the photo of the review that you left us. This product is sold by net weight, not by volume, meaning it will not fill the container. If your box was fully intact and the bucket had not leaked, then you received your full order. The shipping label accounted for 100oz, which is 6.25lbs, which includes the product, container and packaging. Please weigh your bucket with the product and lid. It should be approximately 5lbs 13oz. If any of this information is incorrect, please provide us with a correction and we will be glad to get you the correct order. I look forward to your reply.

This is a wonderful shea butter, very healing and moisturizing. Has worked beautifully with body butter mixtures. The finer texture
and lighter scent compared to other shea butter is wonderful.
